So are Kreider's days numbered in NY? He's a good player but they need LW room. But he's just extended for 7 years at $6.5, with NMCs every year. Or do you move Buchnevich, who's in a contract year next year and play Krieder on the offwing (like Buchnevich was doing)? Or move Buchnevich to the third line and psuh Gauthier or Mckegg out?
Panarin-Zibanejad-Kreider
Lafreniere-Strome-Kakko
is a pretty strong top 6 with a lot of upward potential on the second line.
