Rangers Close to Shocking Deal: Could Chris Kreider Be Heading to the Ducks?

Could this mark the end of an era at Madison Square Garden? Chris Kreider, the stalwart winger who’s been synonymous with the Rangers’ blue jersey for 13 seasons, might be skating off the ice in New York for the last time. Word on the street is that the Rangers and the Anaheim Ducks have sunk into “advanced” trade talks, inching closer to a deal that involves a young prospect and a draft pick heading to New York, while Anaheim takes on Kreider’s hefty $6.5 million cap hit. Though nothing’s set in stone yet, sources expect negotiations to stretch into Wednesday, with everyone watching closely. With Kreider’s no-trade list and current contract still in play, this move—if it lands—would signal a seismic shakeup, especially after a season plagued by back spasms and a “weird illness” that left his stats at a surprising low. As someone who’s tracked hockey’s heartbeat for years, this potential trade feels like a turning point—for Kreider, the Rangers, and maybe even the NHL landscape itself.
