Rangers in 'advanced' trade talks to send Chris Kreider to Ducks

Chris Kreider might have played his last game with the Rangers.

The Rangers are in “advanced” talks to trade the 13-year veteran to the Ducks, NHL insider Frank Seravalli reported Tuesday.

A deal is not yet completed and discussions are expected to continue into Wednesday.

Lohud has reported that there is a potential trade deal in the works that would involve sending a prospect and a draft pick from Anaheim to the Rangers. In exchange, the Ducks would also take on Chris Kreider’s $6.5 million annual salary.

The winger, who has a 15-team no-trade list, is under contract for this season and next.

Kreider had a tough season in 2024-25 due to back spasms and a mysterious illness that led to vertigo, limiting him to just 68 games. His production also suffered, as he only managed to notch 30 points (22 goals and eight assists) – the lowest output since the shortened 2020-21 season affected by COVID-19.

This past season also saw Kreider, 34, get listed in a league-wide memo in November as general manager Chris Drury sought potential trade partners.

In late April, Kreider expressed his deep attachment to playing in New York and his strong desire to help the Rangers improve after failing to make the playoffs in the recent season.

“I mean, this is home for me,” Kreider said. “This is the organization that gave me an opportunity to live out my dream. I’ve developed so many incredible relationships and grown up and spent so much time in this area. So, obviously, this is where I want to be and this is the group I want to help in whatever fashion and win hockey games.”

Kreider, who has scored at least 30 goals three times, ranks in the top 10 in a slew of Rangers lists, with his 326 goals ranking third and 582 points ranking 10th in franchise history.
