Kreider Signs!
Our long Ranger National annoyance is over: Chris Kreider is a Ranger. This is fantastic news. He's going to report to the team, rather than the Whale. It's unclear whether or not they plan to use him in the playoffs, but they can. So why might they? Kreider is a size/speed freak who is also a good and responsible 2-way player. He's everything Hagelin is but bigger and stronger and thus would really help team speed (as long as he doesn't play slow while he gets used to it), and we've all seen how valuable Hagelin has been. What's more Kreider has very good chemistry with Derek Stepan for their time together on Team USA and through Ranger camps. Whether he plays right or not is interesting, but either way, this was a must move for the franchise. Unlike the Yankees, the Ranger really are going all-in on moving to a prospect driven team. Kreider and it seems Hagelin are the next the big links from the Stepan/McDonagh, to the other players like Yogan, Thomas, McIlrath, Fasth, Linberg and the other kids on the farm or around the world.
They are using the Whale to indoctrinate most of them. But maybe not Kreider. Interesting. Go Rangers!

Big time future ahead of this kid. I wonder who sits? Mitchell? Feds? I like our long term vision. We know Reese gets it.. It seems maybe Sather finally is getting it..

The Rangers are now really well run.
after all this time Phil yes they are finally subscribing to the Reese method of running a team. I don't care how we got here but we finally did. Let's hope the Knicks can follow suit, and Cash does not make anymore foolish trades.
The Yankee system is very good. There are questions about the player development side and, now, the asset protection side.
The Giants and Rangers are currently the best run teams we cover.
No argument Phil Giants and Rangers by far and away the best teams we cover. Why do you think the Yankees have become so questionable about asset protection and player development? It is budgetary? It seems we are not as aggresive in IFA as we used to be. I know now we can't overslot as much in the draft with the new rules.
