GREENBURGH, N.Y. – Chris Kreider will be an unrestricted free agent next summer, if the Rangers don’t sign him to a contract extension, which they haven’t done yet. But if you think Kreider is going to publicly lobby for a new deal with the Rangers, he won’t.
“I really don’t think there’s any (tension) to deal with,’’ Kreider said Saturday after the Rangers completed their first practices of training camp.
