New York Rangers' Chris Kreider screams during a game

It was reported recently that the Rangers placed Chris Kreider on the trade block, however in his latest interview he said something so shocking it scared teams.

It's been chaos for the New York Rangers the last few days, with rumors the team's GM, Chris Drury, has made the longest-serving player on the roster, Chris Kreider, available.

Since then, with significant interest in a former 50-goal-scorer coming from league insiders, it seems like the team's been scrambling to hold any semblance of locker-room unity together, as the team held an emergency meeting recently to right the ship.

It was interesting, however, when Kreider made some fairly unexpected comments the other day, comments that may perhaps dissuade any suitors.

Instead of using the opportunity to reassure fans and pledge his commitment to the Rangers, Kreider listed his injuries as if he was trying to deter interest in him from other teams.

Back locked up on me. Few games back it was lumbar, and then during training camp it was thoraxes.

It is another layer of drama on a crazy week in New York, all stemming from that one story breaking. That quickly moved to a potential situation threatening to derail an entire season of the Rangers.

Through it all, Kreider has remained productive, with nine goals in 19 games thus far. While his trade value remains high, especially with the Rangers off to a less-than-ideal start, his comments may have the unintended effect of keeping him in New York.

Additionally, even the captain of the team was not excluded from possible trading in the report: Jacob Trouba.

It appears, with major changes coming around the bend, this may only be the start of a whirlwind period for the Rangers. Buckle up, the ride isn't over yet.
