Making a move for Kopitar

First team in sig

Galchenyuk + Kreider for Kopitar

Overpayment?

Thank

Well, I wouldn't say Kopitar is a lock for 70+ but I do agree that he'll hit somewhere around the mid 60s. Galchenyuk hit a season high in points last year and I believe he'll hit the 60 point mark this year, especially, if radulov sticks on his line. The only downside with Galchenyuk is that Michel Therrien likes to shuffle lines for no reason and likes to give plugs a lot of ice time when they're down. Also, keep in mind that he's doing this with around 14:20 time on ice. I wish I could give you advice about Kreider but I don't know much about him. However, the rangers are playing out of their minds right now and there's no way they'll continue to play at this pace. With everything said, I still think you should try to go for Kopitar as you stated that you don't need Kreider due to Forsberg and Lucic (both better than Kreider).

Thanks ICC. Kreider is expendable for me but he has legit trade value IMO and I'm worried that Galchenyuk could approach what Kopitar does this season.

Anyone else think this could be a beneficial move?

Galchenyuk + Kreider --> Kopitar

Could I got one or two more opinions please and thank you?

If Kreider is expendable as you say then absolutely get Kopi.

That's a move I would make too.
