Chris Kreider signs off on trade to Ducks in end of an era for Rangers
NY Post
Chris Kreider is the first roster casualty of the Rangers’ highly anticipated offseason shakeup.
Shedding his status as the longest-tenured Blueshirt, who first ventured to New York for the 2012 NHL playoffs at age 20, fresh off of Boston College’s campus, Kreider signed off on a trade to the Ducks Thursday morning, The Post’s Larry Brooks first reported.
The Rangers received forward prospect Carey Terrance, a New York native, and a 2025 third-round pick (originally Toronto’s) in exchange for Kreider and a 2025 fourth-rounder (originally Anaheim’s and acquired in the Jacob Trouba deal).
Anaheim is also taking on all of Kreider’s $6.5 million cap hit over the next two seasons, on account of the organization needing to spend more than $14 million this offseason to reach the cap floor.
It was a move the 34-year-old wing saw coming since the beginning of the offseason. Rangers management made a point to be up front with their intentions and maintain constant communication throughout.
Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury has also been in regular communication with Mika Zibanejad, Adam Fox and other veterans on the team about trading Kreider, per a source.
