Kreider’s Surprising Move: Why He’s Heading to the Ducks and What It Means for the NHL Future
By getting the move done so early in the offseason, the Rangers felt they could make more moves over the summer, including potential offer sheets.
The Ducks and general manager Pat Verbeek, meanwhile, are looking to take big swings to move forward and make the playoffs for the first time since 2018. Last month, Anaheim hired three-time Stanley Cup champion Joel Quenneville as its coach. Quenneville is the second-winningest NHL coach of all time.
Kreider, 34, has played his entire 13-year career with the Rangers, who drafted him in the first round in 2009. He is the Rangers’ all-time playoff leader in goals, power-play goals and game-winning goals. Kreider has 326 career goals and 582 points in 883 regular-season games.
