For the last two seasons, the New York Rangers have been sellers.
They’ve taken part in keeping key players out of games with potential trades hinging on health and they find themselves in that situation once again… with one caveat.
We all know that Chris Kreider is the No. 1 player on the market and if it was 2018 or 2019, there is no way he would lace up for the Rangers against Carolina or San Jose this weekend. The difference this year, however, is how New York has now become a fringe playoff team with a chance to gain some traction in the standings this upcoming weekend.
