Overview

  • The teams have agreed on a tentative framework that would send Kreider to Anaheim in exchange for a prospect and a draft pick.
  • Anaheim would assume the winger’s full $6.5 million annual salary over the remaining two years of his contract.
  • Kreider is expected to waive his 15-team no-trade clause to play for new Ducks coach Joel Quenneville.
  • Moving his cap hit would free critical salary space for New York, which currently has just $8.4 million available.
  • The deal would reunite Kreider with former Rangers captain Jacob Trouba, who was traded to the Ducks last season.
