Kreider shoots down rumor he’s leaving BC

The Boston College Eagles are probably breathing a little easier tonight with this good news. There had been a lot of speculation on the blogsphere and internet that the junior forward Chris Kreider might forgo his final two season of college eligibility to sign a professional contract.
Ranger Rants ----- Plenty of internet rumors today, apparently generated off the Boston College message boards, that Chris Kreider would be signing a contract with the Rangers. Just got off the phone with Kreider, who announced in April he would be returning for his junior season with Boston College, and the Rangers’ first-round pick in 2009 said nothing has changed for him.


In other words, the rumor is not true.

Kreider did add that the “decision to go back for my junior season” was valid “as of now,” which made it sound like that could change.

But Kreider said the decision wasn’t as tough a decision as one might believe.

“There wasn’t an offer on the table,” Kreider said. “If (the Rangers) have been in touch with my agent, I’m not aware of it. They haven’t been in touch with me at all.”

Chris Kreider, decision go back to junior season, as of now. Decision, tough make, wasn’t offer on table, only decision, talked over coaches, decision.
