The question arose in the wake of Chris Kreider's third-period hat-trick in Carolina whether No. 20 would one day soar to the roof of the Garden's Ferris wheel, and my answer was yes — but only if the winger goes — to the wire as a Blueshirt.
This possibility is in danger. And honestly, it's just not this week's thing. These final three years of his contract, whose no-transfer clause became Kreider's limited trade ban, were always marked by landmines.
It is difficult for the goalkeeper to cover the distance. Am I right, Lychee?
But that's not unique to this franchise, which actually has a fairly good roster from the Rangers' career, even if there are asterisks attached to Henrik Lundqvist and Anders Hedberg.
