Back when Chris Kreider was a youthful boy at Boston College, Twitter and YouTube were in the beginning stages of becoming hype machines for incoming NHL prospects. You heard about the things Kreider had done with BC, but it wasn’t as easy as it is today to see it.
I often call Kreider the most hyped prospect the Rangers have ever had (mainly because he is really good and there was so much excitement around him with social media that it was impossible to not get on the bus).
In a way, I think Pavel Buchnevich rivaled that.
