Player Discussion Chris Kreider

[Mike in Houston]

Oh shit! Kreider has lost .155 seconds off his speed from two years ago. He's going to be so slow soon. Should've traded him.

 

[Rangers in 7]

He only scores tap ins anyways, none of those empty net and easy taps in should count

(I’m bringing the same energy a few idiots bring into the laf thread lol)

 

[Blais to Win]

Do you guys remember pre-Kreider how Rangers fans were wishing we had a player like Holmstrom? I remember that was one of the biggest complaints was that we didn't have a player like that.

Edit: I just looked up Holmstrom's stats and Kreider already has more goals than Holmstrom had in any season.

That’s why I always mention him. Holmstrom was fetishized. There’s always a fetish.

Kreider began the two week break leading in goals scored. He's still in the lead.

So happy to say that I was in his camp and held my breath for quite awhile, until he re-signed. To all the naysayers......contract looking pretty good now, right?
That speed doesnt get him so many goals, not like he has a great/accurate shot, right?
what it does do, is make defensemen NOT be so offensively aggressive.
That's important.

Heard there's a clause in his contract that if he pots 50, he gets Captaincy whether he wants it or not. This way, he's not backstabbing his buddy Mika or Trouba.
It's in Mika's as well.




Kidding. Makes you wonder though. 50 from someone that never had 30. go figure.
Maybe we should be equally patient with Kaapo and Laffy. One would think.

 

[tlk]

50 from someone that never had 30.

Well he was en route to ~30/82 in both shortened seasons. So that makes 3 high goalscoring seasons in a row for him. Makes it a little less surprising I think.

They didn't tell Panarin I guess

His playmaking sucks too. 14 assists? Sheesh. Uselesss.

To be fair, at 30, I don't think many saw this coming. Especially after we drafted Lafreniere, Kakko and Kravtsov.... But you know, luckily 2 of them are on the verge of..... temporarily busting? Something like that. And the other alienated himself off to Russia. It's not every day 3 young prospects, two whom were basically, "can't miss", open the door for a 30 year old has been. 2022 is definitely backwards world.

I don't understand what the one thing has to do with the other ... nobody opened the door for Kreider, he was always inside ...

It got lost in the translation.

Okay, you get credit for starting this.
But.....I want full credit for STATING
1st that he will get his 50 goals.
Whether you want to add an anecdote at the bottom or whatever.
As long as it plainly states LarryBiv was the 1st. (If I somehow am NOT, then by all means prove it) I don't want credit that isn't deserving. I am a righteous type person.

Somewhat off topic. If Breadman has a child, will he name him/her Whole Wheat, or Rye? Hmmmm.

Rye for a girl, Barley for a boy.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Hasn’t scored in 2 weeks. Typical Kreider disappearing act

. This didnt age well

 

[jay from jersey]

Feels nice to finally produce a 30 goal winger in house....
We all knew Kreids always had to tools to be a consistent 30-35 goal guy.
This year is obviously an outlier, but he always hovered around 30 goals/50-55pts.

he should probably finishes somewhere in the 40+ goal territory for this season

 

[GAGLine]

Kreider is 6 points away from 400 in his career.

Never thought I’d say this, but does Kreider have a chance of getting his number retired? Thought Fox/Shesterkin were the next possibilities, but Kreider might have a shot. These aren’t all very likely, but let’s say the following happens:

- he plays out his current contract for the Rangers and retires
- Rangers win a cup at some point in that time with him playing a prominent role (top 9 forward, top pp)
- has one more year with 30+ goals and/or an all star game appearance

Those aren’t that unlikely and at that point he’ll have played ~15 seasons on the team and the one player to bridge the mid 2010 contending teams and this one. Even if his career numbers aren’t spectacular think that’s probably enough to get his number retired.

I really hope so.

I’d retire Girardi and maybe Staal before I retire Kreider — for now.

If they win a cup with him playing a noticeable role, most likely

If Kreider plays out his contract in NY, he will have been a Ranger for 15 years, and will be top-5 in GP, goals and PP goals, 7th in points.

He would be the highest ranked non-retired jersey in a lot of categories.
