NEW YORK, NY — Earlier this week, the New York Rangers traded longest current tendered Ranger, Chris Kreider, to the Anaheim Ducks, along with a fourth-round draft pick in the 2025 NHL Draft in exchange for prospect Carey Terrance and a third-round draft pick.
Kreider had 22 goals and eight assists in 68 games this season. The Boxford, Massachusetts native joined the Rangers in time for the 2012 playoffs, and had two remaining on his contract at a hit of $6.5 million. The Ducks will pick up his whole contract.
“Chris Kreider is the type of player we were looking to add this offseason,” said Ducks General Manager Pat Verbeek. “He has size, speed, and is a clutch performer that elevates his game in big moments. Chris also upgrades both of our special teams units, something we needed to address.” Kreider only trails Rangers’ icons Rod Gilbert and Jean Ratelle in most goals scored in franchise history. He is also the all-time Rangers leader in playoff goals with 48 and total points with 76.
