Ducks Closing in on Blockbuster Trade for Rangers' 50-Goal Scorer: Report
Ducks Closing in on Blockbuster Trade for Rangers' 50-Goal Scorer: Report originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After firing head coach Greg Cronin and replacing him with the polarizing Joel Quenneville, the Anaheim Ducks were reportedly looking to shake up their roster. Advertisement While the team has been linked to several big-name free agents in the last several weeks, it appears Anaheim has zeroed in on its big fish. According to a report from Daily Faceoff's Frank Seravalli, the Ducks are in the final stages of pulling off a trade for New York Rangers star forward Chris Kreider. 'The New York Rangers are in advanced discussions with the Anaheim Ducks on a trade that would send career-long Blueshirt Chris Kreider to Orange County, multiple sources told Daily Faceoff,' Seravalli wrote. 'The talks, which sources stressed had not reached the finish line, were slated to continue on Wednesday. But there was mutual interest between the parties and the framework of a deal in place.' New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider (20) celebrates a goal with teammate Artemi Panarin (10) against the Florida Panthers during the third period at Amerant Bank Rassol-Imagn Images According to Seravalli, the Ducks would take on the rest of Kreider's full contract, which has two years and $13 million left on it. The 34-year-old forward, who signed a seven-year, $45.5 million deal with the Rangers back in 2020, does have a 15-team no-trade clause, and if Anaheim is on it, he's expected to waive it to facilitate the deal. Advertisement 'It was not immediately clear on Tuesday whether Anaheim was on Kreider's 15-team 'no-trade' list, but sources believed it would not be a stumbling block either way as Kreider was thought to have interest in playing for new Ducks coach Joel Quenneville, where he'd also be reunited with Ryan Strome and former Rangers captain Jacob Trouba,' Seravalli continued. Though he's coming off a disappointing 22-goal, 30-point season in 2024, Kreider is just three seasons removed from his breakout year in 2021 in which he scored 52 goals and 77 points — both career highs. He's scored 20 or more goals in seven straight seasons, and he had three straight seasons of 30 or more goals entering last year. Seravalli also mentioned 2023 second-round pick Carey Terrance, a New York native, as the return for the Rangers. Advertisement Anaheim's No. 10-ranked prospect, according to The Athletic, Terrenace, 20, logged 20 goals and 39 points in 45 games as captain of the Erie Otters in the OHL this season.
