The New York Rangers are reportedly preparing to waive forward Chris Kreider in an effort to clear salary cap space and terminate his contract, according to sources. The move would allow the team to free up significant financial flexibility ahead of the upcoming free agency period. Kreider, a restricted free agent, has been a key player for the Rangers in recent seasons but has faced limited ice time this year. The decision comes as teams look to optimize their rosters for the final stretch of the regular season and beyond.
