This is a little tough to read, so here are the bullet points:
- Year 1: $2 million salary, $8 million signing bonus, NMC
- Year 2: $3.5 million salary, $6 million signing bonus, NMC
- Year 3: $1 million salary, $5 million signing bonus, NMC
- Year 4: $4 million salary, $2 million signing bonus, NMC
- Year 5: $5 million salary, NTC
- Year 6: $4 million salary, NTC
- Year 7: $4 million salary, $1 million signing bonus, NTC
The Rangers wouldn’t be looking to trade Kreider until that 5th year at the absolute earliest, so this is a team friendly deal from that perspective.
Also worth noting that most of Kreider’s money is in the first four years, with only $14 million to be paid out in the final three years. That makes Kreider very movable in those final years if need be, as mentioned on the podcast.
Overall a solid contract for both player and team.
