Chris Kreider has been a beloved Ranger since joining the team during the 2011-12 playoffs. But almost seven years after that stellar debut — one that saw him tally 5 goals as a “rookie” fresh out of Boston College into the fire of the NHL playoffs — the organization should consider dealing their top line left winger.
I recently wrote about Kevin Hayes, his value to the New York Rangers and what he could command in a trade. While he should be able to net a haul in theory, if the Rangers go down to the wire with Hayes they will be limited in their return because of his contract status.
