“You can’t emphasize enough how important it is how much winning [Kreider] has done already in his career,” Rangers assistant GM Jeff Gorton said in a statement. “When you win consistently at a young age like Chris has, it becomes your mindset. In addition, we love his desire to consistently try and improve his all-around game.”<\/p>\n
