Sharks Bite Hard, Ravi Kreider By'e
MJK addressed a massive hole on the team, the lack of RW depth by trading for Chris Kreider Friday night. The deal shakes down like this:
To San Jose:
Chris Kreider (75ov)
2018 3rd
$2.5mill
To Anaheim:
Ryan Hartman
Conditional 2018 Top 20 1st
The deal means that there is less pressure going into Free Agency to try and snag a top 6 guy and with Kreider being an RFA, we can manage his contract a little and set the terms that work for us. We expect he will be signed on a 1 year deal.
While we are not thrilled to give up a 1st, we have lots of time to get one somewhere. But the addition of Kreider was worth it and we expect him to play a big role on this Top 6.
Thanks Ravi, it's been awhile.
