Matt Larkin of The Hockey News: Chris Kreider expects to fetch quite a return but will New York Rangers GM Jeff Gorton make a deal? That is the question. Kreider earns $4.625 million for one more year on his current contract. Also, he is on pace for 30+ goals and is a power forward with the complete package. Kreider peaking right now would garner maximum value. He becomes a free agent after next season when Kreider will turn 29.
Deciding on Kreider much like Zuccarello and maybe Hayes comes down to Monday more than likely.
