The expected return as currently identified is Casey Terrance and a 4th.Kreider for a recent second round prospect and an actual second round pick.
So pretty much for nothing so long as the Ducks swallow all the contract?The expected return as currently identified is Casey Terrance and a 4th.

Are the Ducks what the Panthers used to be; a really super location (weather related) to retire and some players take advantage of that? IMO Krieder says yes.Anaheim can afford it and his cap hit is more than his actual salary which their ownership probably appreciates. So I understand it being a low risk option for ANA.
I do love hearing the narratives about how a scene change might work for Kreider and all the excuses for him being bad this season. Goodrow and Trouba didn't improve after changing scenery. Maybe Kreider can be less disastrous than his last season with good health, but he's at the age where decline is often one way.
Nice place to retire if you can afford it. Comes without the alligators and florida man incidents.Are the Ducks what the Panthers used to be; a really super location (weather related) to retire and some players take advantage of that? IMO Krieder says yes.
I wouldn't say that. Trouba, situation got bad and Ana deal took his cap charge.Are the Ducks what the Panthers used to be; a really super location (weather related) to retire and some players take advantage of that? IMO Krieder says yes.
Can’t do an extensionAnaheim better not promise any sort of extension to get Kreider to waive. Verbeek has been spending to much money on guys with alot of miles on them. We should be making the Rangers give us assets to take their bad contracts
On paper I'm more worried about a handshake agreementCan’t do an extension
Don’t think it’s anything like that at allOn paper I'm more worried about a handshake agreement
Sorry, but that moniker belongs to CheechooWorst 50 goal scorer in history. Please don't help the rangers by taking him.
because believe it or not GM's like to build rapport with one another.Yeah, not sure why ANA would pay to take Kreider when the Rangers are one of the fewer teams that actually need to move salary out even with the cap higher.
Nah. They are going to blow their cap space on Bennett/Ehlers.Rags are gonna be a dumpster fire team next year with now losing kreider. Do they still have their first round pick next year?

They have to decide in the next two weeks whether they're giving Pittsburgh the 12th overall pick this year or 2026 NYR 1st Round Pick. Could go either way. They traded a conditional 1st rounder (condition = 2025 or 2026) to Vancouver for JT Miller, and then Vancouver flipped it to Pittsburgh for Marcus Pettersson.Rags are gonna be a dumpster fire team next year with now losing kreider.

Is next year unprotected? If it is they playing with flre. Kreider helps for the now. If they retooling they have no pick and if its unprotected lookout city.They have to decide in the next two weeks whether they're giving Pittsburgh the 12th overall pick this year or 2026 NYR 1st Round Pick.

Can't risk Kreider getting hurt and then you can't move him at all at the deadline.Not a huge Kreider fan like some NYR fans but obviously know his game well.
Last year is a tough one to judge. I doubt he bounces all the way back to the prior 2-3 year form, but I doubt he’s as bad as last year either. He’s an experienced vet who will have a role on a young team. Even in an awful aeason he can pot 20+, I bet he hits 30-35 next year. He’s a fair penalty killer, a good PP net front player, can still skate very well even if he is no longer elite like he once was. 6.5 isn’t a massive cap hit and the term is not a problem. It’s probably a win for Anaheim. NYR are clearly desperate to shake things up, and probably should be. This is probably bad asset management from NY though. He probably has better value at the TDL. Clearly Drury wants him gone.
I'm 99% sure it's unprotected. In theory, it could be the 1st overall McKenna pick. So you would THINK they'll choose to give up 12th overall...Is next year unprotected?
