The New York Rangers have initiated a significant roster overhaul following a disappointing season, trading veteran winger Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks. In return, the Rangers acquire prospect Carey Terrance and a swap of mid-round draft picks. Kreider, who ranks third all-time in career goals for the Rangers, struggled last season, leading to his trade as the team looks to revamp under new coach Mike Sullivan.

While the Ducks aim to bolster their roster with Kreider, who brings playoff experience, doubts linger over his recent performance decline. At age 34, Kreider’s inconsistent production raises questions about his fit in Anaheim's rebuilding strategy. The Rangers, however, appear to have successfully executed a salary dump, freeing up cap space for future acquisitions while adding a promising prospect in Terrance.
