New York Rangers trade veteran winger Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks
Associated Press
Veteran winger Chris Kreider is heading to the Anaheim Ducks as part of a trade from the New York Rangers.
The teams completed the deal Thursday. The Rangers are getting center prospect Carey Terrance and a third-round pick from the Ducks for Kreider and a fourth-round pick, plus the salary cap space they can use this summer.
'We want to thank Chris Kreider for all of his contributions to the Rangers organization over his stellar career,' general manager Chris Drury said. 'Chris has been an integral part of some of the most iconic moments in Rangers history, including setting multiple franchise records and helping the team advance to the 2014 Stanley Cup Final."
Kreider, 34, agreed earlier in the day to waive his no-trade clause to accept the move.
'Chris Kreider is the type of player we were looking to add this offseason,' Ducks GM Pat Verbeek said. '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 really needed to address.'
Moving on from Kreider is Drury's first offseason change to a roster that underachieved and missed the playoffs following a trip last year to the Eastern Conference final. Kreider joins former Rangers captain Jacob Trouba in Southern California after the defenseman was traded to the Ducks in December.
Kreider is the franchise leader with 84 playoff goals and is third in regular-season goal-scoring with 326. He spent his first 13 seasons with New York after the team drafted him 19th in 2009.
The 6-foot-3, 230-pound Massachusetts native has two years left on his contract at an annual salary cap hit of $6.5 million.

Oregon basketball offers No. 1 prospect in 2027 class
Oregon basketball offers No. 1 prospect in 2027 class Dana Altman is always on the hunt for the next great player to come through Eugene, and he has his eyes set on small forward Baba Oladotun out of Maryland. Oladotun is the No. 1 recruit in the Class of 2027, so the Ducks have plenty of time to sell him on what the Ducks have to offer. The 6-foot-9, 175-pounder from Silver Spring, MD, and James Hubert Blake High School has plenty to offer the Ducks or any other school he decides to attend. As the No. 1 recruit in the country, his choices will be plentiful. He's the top-ranked junior, and with his size, for now, Oladotun is a lanky forward who has nice range for his height. It will be interesting to see how his build and game change in the next two seasons as he fills out. The Ducks will surely be looking for someone to fill the spot Kwame Evans will leave behind, and Oladotun looks like he could be the perfect fit. But Oregon will have a lot of competition for his services. So far, he has over 30 offers to choose from, and no doubt that number will rise in the next year.
