Kreider is expected to fetch the highest price of any player rumored to be available at the deadline, despite being on the final year of his contract. The 28-year-old Boxford, MA and Boston College product has put up 42 points (23 goals, 19 assists) in 57 games with New York this year.
With just under a week left until next Monday’s trade deadline, the Bruins lead the NHL with 86 points. Will the rich get richer by this time next week?
