With Kreider still under contract for another two years at a cap of $6.5 million, there’s a growing belief that it will be difficult for the Blueshirts to dump off Kreider’s entire salary. However, one NHL insider believes that there could be a bigger market for the veteran forward than many people may actually think. Chris Kreider's 15-Team No-Trade List Could Complicate Things For Rangers According To NHL Insider [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/8542deae-15d5-4776-84dc-e8a9f45b94f1.jpeg] Chris Kreider's 15-Team No-Trade List Could Complicate Things For Rangers According To NHL Insider One of the biggest unknowns going into the offseason for the New York <a href="https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers" target="_blank">Rangers</a> is what the future holds for Chris Kreider. [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-rangers/latest-news/chris-kreider-s-15-team-no-trade-list-could-complicate-things-for-rangers-according-to-nhl-insider] “This was a really tough year for him and he still ended up with 22 goals,” NHL insider Frank Seravalli said of Kreider. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kcbkc9yI9hk&t=239s] “I look at that contract and say ‘$6.5 million?’ If I’m a team starving for goals, I’m all over that because I’m thinking he’s going to have a bounce-back year.” The 34-year-old forward is just one season removed from recording 39 goals, 36 assists, and 75 points before having a down year, so it’s not far-fetched to say he’ll bounce back. Also, Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury has a track record of being able to dump off salary scott-free, specifically with Jacob Trouba and Barclay Goodrow. Expect the unexpected this summer regarding Kreider and the Rangers.
