As reported by Joe Haggerty of NBC Sports Boston, Chris Kreider and his representative have met with New York Rangers GM Jeff Gorton in recent days, meaning the Boston Bruins pursuit of him may end up amounting to nothing.
Much was said about the fact Kreider is Massachusetts-born and may see a trade to the Boston Bruins as a homecoming of sorts, but it would seem that he’s got other ideas. The Rangers are in a rebuild timeline and it sounds like he wants to remain a part of that.
Given that the Rangers are rebuilding, that was always a stumbling block too.
