Renna: Rangers’ Chris Kreider has arrived and it looks to be permanent

Chris Kreider has been one of the most confusing players to watch during his seven-year career. One minute he is the best player on the ice. The next, he looks lost. However, this year, Kreider seems to have put it all together.

Drafted by the New York Rangers 19th overall in the 2009 NHL entry draft, Kreider burst onto the scene during the Blueshirts’ 2011-12 playoff run that fell short in the Eastern Conference Finals. He scored seven goals in the postseason during that run and gave fans hope of him turning into a legitimate threat in the NHL.
