Kreider and Zuccarello a tale of two different UFA stories

In the span of 24 hours, two very different stories have come out with how the Rangers have handled valuable UFAs. Mats Zuccarello, who bemoaned the lack of communication from the team and Chris Kreider, who isn’t even thinking about the deadline.

While the way the Rangers handled Zucc versus Kreider is stark, the end result may very much be the same at the deadline.

Zuccarello Situation

In an interview with Amalie Benjamin of NHL.com, Zuccarello said that the Rangers weren’t straightforward about their plans for him. This dated all the way back to that summer and the fact David Quinn failed to get a hold of him to touch base.
