According to nhl.com, the Rangers traded left winger Chris Kreider of Boxford, Massachusetts to the Ducks for prospect Carey Terrance. There were also draft picks involved in the deal. The Ducks are receiving a fourth round pick in 2025, and the Rangers are receiving a third round pick in 2025. Kreider had a no trade clause with the Rangers, which he subsequently waived.

That is third all-time in the history of the Original Six franchise. The only two Rangers with more goals are Hall of Fame right winger Rod Gilbert of Montreal, Quebec (406 goals from 1962 to 1978), and Hall of Fame centre Jean Ratelle of Lac St-Jean, Quebec (336 goals from 1960 to 1976).
Former Rangers on the Ducks
Kreider joins a growing list of former New York Rangers on the Anaheim Ducks. He joins centre Ryan Strome of Mississauga, Ontario, left winger Frank Vatrano of East Longmeadow, Massachusetts, and defenseman Jacob Trouba of Rochester, Michigan.

Terrance is a centre from Akwesasne, New York. He was the Anaheim Ducks’s second round pick, 59th overall, in the 2023 National Hockey League entry draft.
