Blueshirt Bandwidth #47: The Kreider Snub, Power Play Puzzles, and Eichel’s $15M Price Tag
Chris Kreider snubbed? Joe and Eric break down the Rangers’ 100th anniversary video, power play shakeups, and which free agents could really be in play next summer.
Live from a hotel room in New Orleans, Joe and Eric dive into Episode 47 of Blueshirt Bandwidth—the Steven Kampfer episode. With little real Rangers news to chew on, the guys still find plenty to debate: from the bizarre exclusion of Chris Kreider in the Rangers’ 100th anniversary video, to the power play puzzle without one of the NHL’s top net-front presences, to where Alexis Lafrenière actually fits in Mike Sullivan’s system. Listener questions take things further, sparking conversation about Adam Fox’s playoff performances, future free agent targets (yes, including Jack Eichel’s rumored $15M ask), whether Brad Park deserves jersey retirement recognition, and the ongoing development of Braden Schneider. Plus, a few tangents about hotels, Western Conference exec gossip, and Chip23’s uncanny knack for stirring up arguments. Give it a listen!
