NY Rangers reportedly out of the running in Chris Kreider sweepstakes

While a dream reunion for many fans, reports state there is little to no chance the New York Rangers could bring Chris Kreider back. Out of the blue, the Anaheim Ducks —with Chris Kreider’s approval—decided to place the veteran winger on waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract. Having spent his entire NHL career (minus last season) with the New York Rangers , the Blueshirts were one of the first names linked to Kreider. However, it seems virtually impossible for New York to ...

Is Chris Kreider Signing With The Boston Bruins Realistic?

The Anaheim Ducks made the surprise move to terminate veteran forward Chris Kreider's contract today. It was a mutual decision, which leaves Kreider a chance to return to the Eastern Conference after spending a year out in Orange County, joining Jacob Trouba out west.  His year as a Duck wasn't insignificant, as he got to experience a trip to the playoffs as he battled against the Edmonton Oilers, in what was an easy first-round win for the battle-hardened Oilers, who were Stanley Cup con...

Leo Carlsson says Chris Kreider is ‘really happy for me’ despite being waived due to young star’s league-altering contract extension

The Leo Carlsson contract has claimed another victim.

Chris Kreider unfortunately makes no sense for the Flyers

A new top free agent is available on the NHL open market and unfortunately, there is no way the Philadelphia Flyers are a landing spot for him. Chris Kreider is agreeing to a mutual termination of his contract with the Anaheim Ducks. First reported by Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman, the 35-year-old winger is going to become an unrestricted free agent as soon as the initial process is done and his one year remaining on his previously existing deal, has vanished to the ether. Obviously,...

Anaheim Ducks Make Surprising Move With Chris Kreider

It's getting down to the wire now for the Anaheim Ducks to find a way to sign restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier. But to meet his contract demands, they've been trying to offload a chunk of salary cap space with a trade. They haven't found a taker, so they're now set to pull the surprise move of placing veteran Chris Kreider on waivers for the purpose of contract termination. It's believed that it was Krieder's decision to make this happen.  The Ducks and Chris Kreider are expected to ...

NHL rumors: The closest ‘comparable’ for Ducks’ Cutter Gauthier’s next contract

The Anaheim Ducks made several major moves this offseason, including giving a large contract extension to Leo Carlson.

Kreider Termination Boosts Ducks’ Flexibility in Gauthier Talks

General manager Pat Verbeek and the Anaheim Ducks were put into a bind earlier this summer when the Philadelphia Flyers signed Leo Carlsson to a five-year, $90-million offer sheet. After a mini spending spree on July 1 and matching the offer to retain their franchise center, the Ducks were down to just about $9 million in salary cap space while still needing to sign another restricted free agent in Cutter Gauthier, who would cost considerably more than $9 million coming off a 41-goal season. T...

A Travis Konecny lineup demotion could benefit Flyers

Travis Konecny led the Flyers last season with 68 point in 77 games. He had 14 power play points, two game-winning goals, a short-handed tally, and averaged just over 19 minutes per game. He just edged Trevor Zegras in points as Zegras had 67. But Konecny also had a far better plus/minus than the former Duck, ending the year at +14 while Zegras was even. In the playoffs, Konecny had a goal and four assists as the Flyers faltered to Carolina in round two. Despite the average playoff, it was cle...

Victory+ failed. Is this the end of sports streaming for free?

In September 2024, Victory+ was founded with a simple dream: to deliver major professional sports on streaming for free. Two years later, the Victory+ vision is dead. The streaming service shut down as of September 1. The move comes after the Texas Rangers, Anaheim Ducks and National Women’s Soccer League ended their agreements with the…
