US EditionAnaheim Ducks Trade for New York Rangers Veteran Chris Kreider
NEW YORK, NEW YORK, JUN 11 – The Rangers traded Kreider to gain cap flexibility and rebuild with prospect Carey Terrance and a third-round pick, while the Ducks add veteran depth under new coach Joel Quenneville.
- On June 12, 2025, the Anaheim Ducks acquired 34-year-old left winger Chris Kreider in a trade with the New York Rangers, receiving both him and a fourth-round draft pick in the deal.
- The Rangers initiated the trade to gain salary-cap flexibility by moving Kreider's $6.5 million cap hit for two seasons, with Kreider waiving his 15-team no-trade clause to join Anaheim.
- Kreider, a veteran with a 13-year NHL career, scored 22 goals and 8 assists in 68 games during 2024-25 but was hampered by injuries and illness, while the Ducks seek an offensive spark under coach Joel Quenneville.
- In exchange, the Rangers received center Carey Terrance, a 20-year-old second-round pick who scored 20 goals in 45 OHL games this season, along with a 2025 third-round draft pick, as detailed by Pierre LeBrun.
- This trade is designed to help the Ducks advance after multiple seasons without playoff appearances and enables the Rangers to focus on rebuilding under their newly appointed coach, Mike Sullivan, while bringing Kreider together again with Jacob Trouba, a key former leader from their time in New York.
