The Rangers chose Chris Kreider of Andover Academy with the 19th pick in tonight's first round of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. Kreider is headed to Boston College next year.
For information on Kreider go to NHL.com.
On Kreider, Rangers director of player personnel Gordie Clark told Steve Zipay at Blue Notes...
"He's an elite, elite athlete physically, mentally. He's ripped. He blew through the combine in Toronto and he still has room to grow. He'll get thicker."
On being drafted by the Rangers, Kreider, a Red Sox fan, said...
"I spoke a lot with them during the season, but really not much since to be honest with you.We talked at the combine and I thought I could've been a little better, but I guess it was enough for them."
...during the telecast they stated that Kreider was the fastest prospect in the draft, which is something to look forward to. Probably will be a couple of years before we see this kid. Hopefully, he can fine tune his game at Boston College and be ready for the Wolf Pack in two years.
