New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider could become a trade target for the Vancouver Canucks, according to Adam Kierszenblat of The Hockey News.
With the Rangers in free fall, the rumor mill is in overdrive, particularly regarding a potential trade involving Kreider. It’s worth noting that nearly every contender in the league could express interest in the former 50-goal scorer.
If they are going to add on the wing, one player to keep an eye on is Chris Kreider, who would be a massive boost to the Canucks scoring depth.
However, trading Kreider may pose challenges. He is in the fifth year of a seven-year, $45.5 million contract, according to PuckPedia. With a cap hit of $6.5 million per season, contenders may hesitate to pursue a trade for Chris Kreider due to cap constraints.
