Confirmed Trade: [NYR/ANA] Chris Kreider and 2025 4th for Carey Terrance and 2025 3rd

[rocketdan9]

20,000 posts and still can’t be bothered ro read the very thread you’re posting in lmao

I edited my original post. I thought/mistaken there was still a few more years left on Kreiders contract.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

Lol at 12th overall pick to get rid of a 6.5. 2 year contract

 

[JKG33]

It makes sense in the general POV. Anaheim's youth still needs some solid veteran teeth. It just sort of sucks for the rest of the Metro that Anaheim does that by repeatedly taking the Rangers' sloppy seconds.

The same metro division that has like 1.5 playoff quality teams? Hard to feel bad for them

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Guess one of Terrance, Warren, Pastujov, and the Toronto 3rd.

Gotta imagine if Anaheim is taking on the full cap its a prospect no one has heard of before outside of Anaheim fans.

Why does Anaheim have to absorb all of New Yorks bad contracts? I don't understand why we need Killorn and Kreider, 2 guys in their mid 30s eating up 13 million dollars the next 2 seasons

Veteran leadership and making the cap floor.

 

[wetcoast]

drury is taking the much bigger gamble here. verbeek is risking and paying virtually nothing to acquire a player who, at a minimum, adds to the locker room as a leader and has a reasonable chance to provide significant production. drury only wins if he's right on how he replaces kreider and how he allocates that cap space.

Gabe Perreault?

Holy hell, this is bad. I’ve posted on a few other sites about this trade. Anaheim, do not do it. He’s not 1/3 of what he used to be. He’s very injury prone, has a bad back, is 34 yrs old, made a living on the PP because of who he had around him. Don’t be fooled by those stats. You want another Killhorn? I don’t get this at all. I understand the wanting a vet thing, but there has to be limitations on it. Don’t ruin this good young nucleus just because you think you need some vets who have playoff experience. Go get a Jason Robertson or Alex Tuch…maybe JJ Peterka. Don’t waste your time trying to get CK20. Smh

Unlike Killorn, you should be able to trade Kreider with 1.5 or 1 or 0.5 years left on his deal for a pick and/or prospect. You could get even better quality assets if you retain. It's basically weaponizing the cap space you have that other teams don't in order to get a trade chip and then cashing it in a little down the road for picks and prospects.

If Kreider turns out to be hot garbage in Anaheim, then yeah, maybe it's a 2nd Killorn, but at least this one will be good in the locker room and can teach your kids something, and at least it didn't cost you an arm and a leg to acquire him.

don’t think you know anything about kreider at all reading this drivel

 

[Unholy]

If its for the rumored prospect + 3rd/4th thats an easy deal

 

[GaryPoppins]

Legit WTF is Anaheim doing?

Krieder is done as a player and the Ducks years away from being a Cup contender.

Explain how this makes ANY sense for them.

He’s obviously a deteriorated asset but the Rangers did have a good run of being very competitive and making some noise in the playoffs. The ducks being a young team could really benefit from a guy like that from a mentorship perspective and you honestly can’t write off what a change of scenery might do for him.

Cap is going up substantially in next three years and if your prospect cupboard is already pretty full which sounds like it is, they likely have done long term projections about who/where these guys will fit along with timelines. They clearly have a gap in top 9 for the next year to two so they’re filling it with him.

Would I do it if I were Anaheim? No. But, that’s likely why they’re looking into it.

 

[FiveTacos]

duck are not even close to ceiling. trading a pick and prospect for a guy who has 97 goals in his last 3 seasons seems like a no brainer to me, but on hfboards people would rather have $30M in cap space and and magic beans lmao.

Term is also short, so no risk of an albatross. By the time they need the cap space, most of their biggest contracts will have expired. Killorn, Trouba, Strome, Gibson, etc. are all done within 2 years.

Additionally, a closer look at the team's numbers shows that they were -42 overall ... but special teams accounted for 41 of that 42. He doesn't have to be great at 5v5 anymore to help them.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

Everyone acting like Kreider is cooked, maybe it was just a down year. I’m sure he’ll run over more goalies next season.

 

[2014nyr]

Gabe Perreault?

i, and i'm sure the rangers as well, would love for gabe to step in on day one next year and be a legit top 6 nhl player/point producer, but i don't think that's realistic or something drury can go into the season with as his plan a.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

MARNER AND KRIEDER ALL IN ONE OFFSEASON???

 

[effen]

Chris "Cooked" Kreider's 22 goals last year would have.... led the Anaheim Ducks. Just for perspective here on the bright young stars of the Anaheim Ducks, not one of them could be assed to score more than 22 goals that this washed up geezer farted out.

And his 8 assists would.. let’s not talk about his 8 assists.

Hell of a pitching season though.

 

[Vipers31]

Ah, I didn’t know we were in the „people talk themselves into a frenzy believing a player on a team they dislike was hard to get rid off and get mad when they get drawn back to a very obvious reality“-cycle with Kreider.

A guy coming off a 20-goal season on a dysfunctional team after numerous straight 30-goal seasons with two years left on his contract at his price wasn’t going to be tough to move. Only question was (is) whether he’d bring back a meaningful asset due to cap retention, making him attractive for teams near the cap, or whether the Rangers would prefer the asset be cap space without receiving other value.

I’d be fine with this for the Ducks - he’s undoubtedly adding a missed element to the PP, and that wasn’t going to be addressed in free agency at reasonable terms, even if you manage to get one of the bigger fish.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I'm guessing the Ducks weren't a fan of the price on Peterka and Robertson.
I'd prefer Peterka over Robertson, Robertson skates like he has wooden peg legs.

LOL ok, not gonna argue w you.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Verbeek again bailing out Rangers from contract they want to get rid of

 

[ItWasJustified]

Anaheim's youth still needs some solid veteran teeth

They do? They already have Strome, Killorn, Vatrano, Johnson, Gudas and Trouba over the age of 30 and Troy Terry is 27.

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Krieder is best buddies with Zegras. They work out together in the summer. Z is happy

 

[shenmue16]

This is a terrible deal by the very nature that this isn't going to prove to be a long-term solution. Kreider is not the missing piece for Anaheim to get back in the playoffs. Now, Anaheim has the cap space to make it work and have plenty of room, but Kreider is a depreciating asset on a 6.5m contract for the next two seasons. They essentially bite the bullet on the cap space while giving up a prospect and pick. Trouba hasn't really worked like they hoped.
