President John Davidson and General Manager Jeff Gorton held a presser to discuss all moves made and not made. Gorton mentioned that their approach was to be competitive now and still keep an eye on the future. That was the main reasons why they kept Chris Kreider whom they admit was uncertain until today and even had deals they were considering.

John Davidson said that the pluses outweighed the minuses and his play with Mika Zibanejad was a major consideration. Once that decision was reached it impacted the approach the rest of the way.
