New York Rangers veteran forward gets disrespected in latest 4-Nations Face-Off announcement after a long awaited reveal of the Team USA's lineups.
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 Tkachuk
Guentzel-Matthews-Hughes
Brady Tkachuk-Miller-Boldy
Nelson-Trocheck-Larkin
Kreider
Slavin-Fox
Werenski-McAvoy

Brady Tkachuk-Miller-Boldy
Nelson-Trocheck-Larkin
Kreider

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.
