Team USA disrespects New York Rangers veteran following latest 4-Nations Face-Off announcement
In a recent announcement from several reports that revealed Team USA's lineups, New York Rangers veteran forward
Chris Kreider was brutally disrespected as he has been named as an extra and will be rotating in if needed.
Now this is a pretty solid lineup for Team USA, with a bunch of talented players so it does make sense for Kreider to be named as an extra it definitely didn't expect him to be snubbed of an official position.
Here's a look at the full Team USA lineup:
Connor-Eichel-
Matthew TkachukGuentzel-Matthews-Hughes
Brady Tkachuk-Miller-Boldy
Nelson-Trocheck-Larkin
Kreider
Slavin-Fox
Werenski-McAvoy
Hanifin-Faber
Sanderson
Clearly a pretty solid group of 12 forwards when Chris Kreider is left on the sidelines when it comes to your forward group. Same goes for the defensive pairs, as
Jake Sanderson will serve as the team's 7th defenseman.
"Accepting your role" ... "Chris Kreider, who scored 127 goals from 2021 to 2024 for the New York Rangers, looked slated to open the tournament as a healthy scratch." #NYR
Just this season alone, the 33-year old has managed to tally 16 goals and 4 assists for a total of 20 points in 47 games played with the New York Rangers.
