Why not try Kreider at center? This kids got all the tools and he's defensively aware enough to take on the responsibilities of a center. Couldn't hurt to give him a shot. If it works, he can end up being the power center this team needs?:dunno: Just an idea..

Absolutely nothing about Kreider's game works at center, I don't think. He'd never win a faceoff. He's not good enough defensively. He's never even played at center before. And he doesn't like to carry the puck through the neutral zone, unless he's streaking in alone.

Center is a position w/ many more responsibilities. His strength and focus is (and should be) to drive to the net and stretch the ice. More to worry about as a center.

Neither has MSL and I disagree defensively.

As long as Stephan is out there's nothing to lose just giving it a shot. We just got shutout twice. He may surprise people with the extra responsibilities.

I watched him for 2 years before he came to the NYR. Watched him in the AHL. Watched him in the NHL. Absolutely nothing suggests that he will surprise people there. He is a natural winger. You can't force a square peg into a round hole.

This isn't the AHL and he's learned a lot since then. Completely different player.
Don't get me wrong..I'm not talking like he's the Rangers #1 center for the rest of his career but I think as long as Stepan's out it's worth investigating..

The original buddy but I don't post much due to, too many adolescents who never actually picked up a stick :)

First of all he's still young and still has a lot to learn. Second, you weren't complaining when he was "bulling' his way through opposing D in the playoffs right?

No but i did complain when he missed on those breakaways in the cup finals

So because people didn't pick up a stick, their opinions mean nothing? Nice
