He’s awesome. What he does well he does as the highest level. Thank goodness we just resigned him and didn’t screw that up.
Player Discussion Chris Kreider
- Thread starter Krams
- Start date
And yet at least half this board wanted to trade him less than a year into the new contract, the same ones that did not want to sign him to a new deal in the first place. BTW you can still be a good hockey player once you hit 29 years old.
Hell I remember the second he was resigned there were many pissed. In fairness there were also a lot happy too
Give credit to Gallant. He was the first coach to give him more responsibility and i think in the past 3 years he leads the league in shorthanded goals
You mean AV?
AV had just finished coaching Kesler (the best net front player in the league) in Vancouver and was like "You're going to learn to tip picks like Kesler".
Kreider reinvented his game from just the bursty speed one and dones and became the best net front presence.

Can you raise a player's number up to the rafters while they're still an active player?

2 goals behind Graves for 3rd all time.
1 PP goal behind Graves for 4th all time.
He is now tied with Zib for 9th all time in SH goals with 9. Graves had 16 and Messier is 1st overall with 23.

This is a bad hockey team.
Can't ask for more from a #19 overall pick. No Ranger will wear 20 again.

Well it was 8 years ago. And I see a lot of fans spell it this way, but I bet 99% of them didn't go to Harvard.

If this guys stays his whole career he might go down as the greatest ranger ever. No disrespect to the others but he could end up being the highest goal scoring ranger player by a 100+ goals.

I don't think so, being a 100 goals ahead of the next best scorer should put you in that conversation. It's a team sport, i dont think anyone would think any less of Leetch's career if Messier never came to new york and they didn't win that cup, same as Lundqvist, hasn't changed the fact he was a great ranger.
You'd obviously have a case for greatest goal scorer in Rangers history, depending on how exactly much weight you give to longevity vs peak (think the Andreychuck argument for the HHOF), but greatest ever seems a bit more of a stretch. How many times has been the greatest player on the team in a season? He's an amazing player and has become very consistent, but when you dive into it I think you'd struggle to really rank him above others.
Having said that it's all pretty much entirely subjective

500 career points. 100 powerplay goals.
If he keeps being productive, he will be catching Ratelle sometime next season. This PP group isn't going anywhere. Then the real climb begins. Does he pass Gilbert?

He is truly this era's Adam Graves. Maybe he can be more. The last player to wear #20 for the Rangers.

Im a huge CK fan but Id be shocked if he ever passes Leetch for that honor.

Mr. Preachy
I know a couple of beat writers are going around slandering CK20 right now, being 3rd on the all-time goal list for the Rangers, being "KreIders gOal ToTAl is lOw FOr an OrIgINal SiX FrANCHIse" but for reference, he is:
10th Bruins (9th 289, Pasta/Marchand ahead)
10th Wings (8th is 314, 7th is 324)
9th Leafs (can easily get Top 6 - Auston Matthews is not helping this)
9th Habs (Henri Richard 8th at 358)
8th Blackhawks (Top 7 is 299)
TFW you're a non-NYR fan slandering a player who would be top 10 in your franchise.

Slandering the Rangers is all some of these hacks have in life.
Posted the YouTube version because the Twitter(X) version says it’s unavailable.

Like....
Chicago write slandering a player who will likely end up Top 6 all time, probably Top 5, in the Blackhawks franchise.
Incredible stuff.

WAAAAAAA!!!
NYR and TOR all have really low all-time franchise numbers. I attributed it to historically trading our best players away and some franchises just being blessed with legendary talent. Like Detroit has Howe and Yzerman leading their list.
