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.

Brad Marchand Makes Stanley Cup Final History in Panthers-Oilers Game 3
Brad Marchand Makes Stanley Cup Final History in Panthers-Oilers Game 3 originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Florida Panthers forward Brad Marchand is showing the world exactly why he was a hot commodity at the NHL trade deadline back in early March. Advertisement The Panthers acquired the 37-year-old from the Boston Bruins for a conditional second-round pick that has turned into a 2027 or 2028 first-rounder due to Florida winning two rounds of the Stanley Cup Playoffs and Marchand playing in at least 50% of its games. Marchand, who spent the first 15-plus seasons with the Bruins, has a reputation for being an elite playoff performer. He's scored double-digit points in 10 of the 13 postseasons he's played in, including his last eight. With his first-period goal in Monday's Game 3 against the Edmonton Oilers, Marchand is just five points away from matching his playoff best. That goal also helped Marchand reach a Stanley Cup Final milestone no other player has ever achieved. Florida Panthers center Brad Marchand (63) celebrates after scoring the game-winning goal against the Toronto Maple Leafs during overtime in Game 3 of the second round of the 2025 Stanley Cup Navarro-Imagn Images Marchand scored 56 seconds into the first period of Game 3, making him the first player in NHL history to score an overtime goal in one game and an opening-minute goal in the following game in a Stanley Cup Final. Advertisement The NHL PR account posted a celebratory message on X moments after Marchand's accomplishment, posting: 'End it late. Start it early.' Marchand scored his seventh goal of the playoffs in the second overtime period in Friday's 5-4 double overtime win in Game 2. With his first-period goal on Monday, Marchand moved into third on the Panthers in playoff scoring (18 points) behind Sam Bennett (20 points) and Carter Verhaeghe (19 points). His eight goals are all second-most behind Bennett (13). In two-plus Stanley Cup Final games, Marchand has four points — all goals. The Panthers lead the Oilers 4-1 at the second intermission at time of publication.
