CHRIS KREIDER RUMORS

Kreider Likely to Replace Clowe

During today's brief practice, Chris Kreider was the first guy on the ice and and the last off as he did skating and shooting drills on his own, likely preparing himself to re-enter the Rangers line-up in Game 6 tomorrow for the injured Ryane Clowe, who did not practice today along with Darroll Powe (concussion). Andrew Gross at the Bergen Record notes that John Tortorella...

Clowe Likely Back; Asham Out; Kreider With Taxi Squad & Lundqvist Shaken Up

Lots going on at the Rangers optional practice. Some good, some not so much. Katie Strang at ESPN.com reports that Ryane Clowe still isn't sure if he'll play tonight, however, Pat Leonard at the Daily News expects Clowe to take Arron Asham's spot in the line-up after the former Shark left practice early while Asham  remained on the ice with the other likely scratches...

Is it time to give Kreider a chance on the top six?

He was effective last year. Maybe it’s time to give him a real chance (Photo: AP). Let me begin by stating that I am not an advocate of playing Chris Kreider at the current moment. He has been very suspect defensively, and he just hasn’t been good without the puck. When he isn’t scoring, his role is severely limited on this team. I am still of the belief that Kreider needs...

The (Over)Hype of Chris Kreider

When we first heard over the course of the past few years that Glen Sather absolutely refused to include coveted Rangers prospect at the time, Chris Kreider, in any kind of deal, Rangers fans exploded with elation thinking that Kreider was part of New York’s future – and rightly so. Kreider fit the mold of [...]

Time for Kreider to Step Up

To say Chris Kreider's year has been a disappointment would be an understatement. A player, who most fans thought would chip in around 15 goals this season, was barely able to stay on the NHL roster. But all that can easy be forgotten with a repeat of last year's playoff performance. And injuries to Ryane Clowe and Brian Boyle will give him that opportunity (via New...

The handling of Chris Kreider has been the biggest disappointment of the season

This is not how the Rangers have successfully developed prospects in recent years The Rangers’ recent success has made Chris Kreider a forgotten man, but the handling of Kreider has been the most disappointing aspect of the 2013 season. You can’t blame the 21-year-old for hitting a bump in the road, but the organization’s treatment of its prized winger has been a mess since...

Around the Farm: Kreider scores lone goal in Whale loss

Chris Kreider scored the lone goal for the Connecticut Whale in last night’s 3-1 loss to the Manchester Monarchs. The Whale were dominated by Manchester last night, and if not for a brilliant 42 save performance by Cam Talbot in net, the score would have been much more lopsided. Despite the loss, the Whale are still in good shape to make the Calder Cup playoffs, sitting in the...

Read: Did John Tortorella Mishandle Chris Kreider This Year?

The road to John Tortorella’s doghouse is paved with brutal sound bytes. “I’ve said all along that I think Chris [Kreider] has a lot to learn about the game and a lot to learn about being a pro, so this isn’t a shock to me,” the Rangers coach said when the rookie was returned to [...]

Rangers assign J.T. Miller and Chris Kreider to the CT Whale

According to the AHL website, the Rangers have sent J.T. Miller and Chris Kreider to the CT Whale.  Coach John Tortorella expressed concern that the magnitude of the virtual playoff games the Blueshirts are playing right now might be too much for the two, so these transactions aren’t a surprise. The moves clear over $2 million in cap space and ensure that both Miller and Kreider...

With the Rangers off to a 1-3-0 start, there have certainly been a number of issues that are cause for concern for Rangers fans.
