When fans saw a John Davidson scheduled a press conference for Monday morning, immediately our heads started to swirl. Is Lundqvist gone? Did they re-sign Kreider? Did they move Georgiev?
Instead, Rangerstown was hit with the terrible news of a car accident that fractured Igor Shesterkins ribs and shook up fellow teammate Pavel Buchnevich. But then, on his next breath, President Davidson announced that Kreider would be returning for another seven years, keeping the veteran forward’s bromance with Mika Zibanejad alive for the foreseeable future.
Just as it appeared the Rangers had stood pat at the deadline, it was announced that Brady Skjei was sent to Carolina for a first-round pick, once again sending shockwaves through the Rangers lineup.
