ST. LOUIS, Mo. — Chris Kreider’s future is tied intrinsically to the Rangers’.
Not just because that’s the name he wears on the front of his jersey, and the team’s lone representative at this weekend’s All-Star Game. But because in a contract year, and with trade rumors swirling, their continued success might mean just a little more time with the only NHL team he’s ever known. So, he’s doing what he believes is best: Absolutely not thinking about it.
