Chris Kreider is a goner. The only question that remains is how long Jeff Gorton will hold before blinking and pulling the trigger on a deal. The New York Rangers forward is still at the top of all of the trade bait lists and with recent injuries, his value has only increased.
If Jeff Gorton and the Rangers thought that it would be a buyers market this season, think again. In just a couple days it has become a sellers market. And that makes the New York Rangers sellers.
For weeks, hockey cognoscenti have predicted that Kreider was the only player worth a first round draft pick.
