Rick Carpinello of The Athletic New York: There are just a couple of games between now and the trade deadline for the New York Rangers. Chris Kreider concerns himself by just preparing for the games. That is all the winger can do as he plays on one of the most productive lines in the league.
New York has made two depth trades and acquired J-F Berube to bolster its goaltending down in Hartford. Something bigger is coming but what could that be? The two sides talking contract is positive for New York fans. However, if something substantial does not materialize, Jeff Gorton must deal his winger before the deadline on Monday.
