Anaheim Ducks Place Chris Kreider on Waivers for Contract Termination as He Seeks Eastern Return
The Anaheim Ducks have placed veteran NHL forward Chris Kreider on waivers to mutually terminate his contract, freeing approximately $6.5 million in cap space. Kreider, who spent 14 seasons with the New York Rangers before joining the Ducks, seeks to return to the Eastern Conference to be closer to family and will only join a preferred team if claimed. This move aims to provide financial flexibility for the Ducks to re-sign restricted free agent Cutter Gauthier. Potential landing spots for Kreider include the Buffalo Sabres and Carolina Hurricanes.
