Bruins out of Chris Kreider sweeps, or is he off the market?

Anthony Scultore Updated: Feb 21, 2020

The Boston Bruins traded their first round pick to Anaheim in a trade for Ondrej Kase. That means they are out of the running to land Chris Kreider after moving their 1st rounder. This leaves the Colorado Avalanche and St. Louis Blues as the top contenders, or has Kreider been taken off the market?

Chris Kreider has been easily the Rangers 2nd best player behind Artemi Panarin for the last two months. According to Larry Brooks, the Rangers priority is to sign him but they continue to listen to offers.

Rangers' priority is to sign, rather than trade, Kreider. But there is still work to be done to bridge the gap between parties.

The ball is officially in the Avs court to blow the Rangers out of the water if they want to get him.
