Chris Kreider’s reps and the New York Rangers have had some discussion about his future and if there’s a way to sign the pending UFA before the Feb. 24 trade deadline. If not, it seems all but certain he’ll be wearing a new jersey soon.
“My read is they’re only willing to go so far in these negotiations,” Johnston said. “I don’t even know they would go give him the Kevin Hayes contract he got in Philly . Without doing something like that I’m just not sure, even as much as Chris Kreider’s enjoyed being a Ranger, if it makes sense for him to sign for less.
Dallas doesn’t have a clear need as they did in 2019. Back then, secondary scoring was a sore spot and so Nill acquiredfrom the Rangers as a deadline rental for second- and third-round picks. Nill picked up Joe Pavelski over the summer, so that same need isn’t there in 2020.
