NHL veteran forward Chris Kreider, who was just traded from the New York Rangers to the Anaheim Ducks, is expressing gratitude to his now-former team, for whom he played for so many years.
It's officially the end of an era for the New York Rangers, who traded veteran forward Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks in return for prospect Carey Terrance and a 3rd round pick in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft.
Additionally, New York also sent a 4th round pick in 2025 to Anaheim.
Kreider, while speaking on his 1st Zoom call as a member of the Ducks, expressed gratitude toward the club that he played with for so many years.
I've probably gone through the spectrum - anger, sadness, grief, whatever you want to call it. But I keep on arriving at gratitude for how I was treated, the opportunities I was given, for the connections I was able to make, the relationships, the friendships, the experiences that I was able to have.
You go through a pretty wide array of emotions. I think at the end of the day the most consistent thing is gratitude. I feel incredibly lucky to have played for the Rangers for as long as I did.
Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said that Kreider was the kind of player that his club, which already hired former Chicago Blackhawks Stanley Cup-winning coach Joel Quenneville, was looking to add..
Chris Kreider is the type of player we were looking to add this offseason. He has size, speed and is a clutch performer that elevates his game in big moments. Chris also upgrades both of our special teams units, something we really needed to address.
Kreider ends his tenure with the Rangers after having scored 582 points (326G, 256A) in 883 games.
