Overview

  • The Ducks are set to assume Kreider’s remaining two-year, $13 million contract, removing a $6.5 million cap hit from the Rangers
  • New York is expected to receive prospect Casey Torrance plus a draft pick as compensation for the trade
  • Kreider must waive his 15-team no-trade list, which currently includes Anaheim, before the deal can close
  • The move would reunite him with former Rangers teammates Jacob Trouba and Ryan Strome in Orange County
  • Clearing Kreider’s salary would boost the Rangers’ cap space to an estimated $15 to $17 million for off-season roster moves
