Handicapping the future of Carl Kruger's district

As a novice to Brooklyn politics, I'm not sure how to handicap Item #2 of this post [1] from Celeste Katz.

Item #1 is easy; Hakeem Jeffries has no intention of spending the rest of his career in Albany.

I have no idea how to handicap Item #2. Is Fidler the most likely Democratic nominee to succeed Kruger? Who are the Republicans?And what are the odds of a Republican victory, either next year or in a special election?

Finally, how could redistricting alter the odds, and what effect
could it have on neighboring Senate districts?

Perhaps some veteran Brooklynites can chime in.
