Instant Analysis: Chris Kreider Traded To Anaheim Ducks w/ Steve Dangle

chris Krider is a duck The New York Rangers have finally traded Chris Krider to the Anaheim Ducks in a trade that feels like it took place over the course of three days There are two players involved two picks involved Let’s go through it To the Anaheim Ducks Chris Krider that’s very easy and we’ll talk about him because he’s a wellestablished NHL player The other Carrie Terren a 2023 second round pick of the Anaheim Ducks who was on the American World Junior team at this past World Juniors According to Elliot Freriedman there is no salary retention involved So the whole $6.5 million cap hit of Chris Krider going to Anaheim just like Jacob Trouba who is also a former Ranger The Rangers receive a third round pick in 2025 that originally belonged to the Leafs And the pick to Anaheim is their own 2025 fourthround pick that they originally gave to the Rangers for Jake Trouba I have complex feelings about this trade Chris Krider is 34 Chris Crryder has two full seasons left on a contract that will pay him $6.5 million per season Chris Crryder is coming off the worst season of his career Prior to the worst season of his career Chris Krider was a really really really good hockey player for the New York Rangers for a very long time Chris Krider played for Team USA at the Foration Faceoff in February of this current year Listen at the end of the day Chris Drury the GM of the New York Rangers his job is to make the New York Rangers better Getting out from under two full years no salary retention of this contract is crazy Getting paid to do it by the Ducks is even crazier The Rangers and Ducks exchange picks The Ducks gave up the better pick They also gave up a second rounder that they drafted in 2023 They paid for two seasons of Chris Krider with no retention Anyway you slice it that’s kind of surprising and a good move by Chris Drury in my opinion Also however uh I don’t think good hockey players forget how to play hockey and I don’t think Chris Krider forgot how to play hockey this past season Two seasons ago or last season however you want to look at it Chris Krider had a healthy full 82game season where he put up 36 assists which was a careerhigh I’m focusing on the assists for a reason This past season he played a not very healthy 68game season where he put up a career low eight assists Eight He still had 22 goals which is pretty good Is it worth 6.5 million no But that’s good That’s a serviceable player The season he was coming off of is immaculate Listen maybe he never hits 52 goals again Okay here’s what he’s coming off of in an 82 game season 39 goals 36 assists and the second highest point total of his career 75 The Rangers made it to the Eastern Conference final And during that 16game run Crider put up eight goals and four assists for 12 points The year prior in seven playoff games he put up nine points The year before that in 20 games he put up 10 goals and 16 points Before this past season where he scored 22 goals Krider scored 39 36 52 and then goes down to 20 in a 50game season Listen players age Time catches up with everybody Maybe that’s what’s happening here and we literally never see a better season than what we’ve seen out of Chris Crider Maybe for the rest of his career he tops out at 20 goals and 30 points in which case 6.5 million sucks But the Ducks are taking the optimistic approach and saying you know what he’ll bounce back Even if he doesn’t bounce back to what he was can you get him to 25 goals that’s only three more That seems reasonable Could you flirt with 30 could you maybe get a second date with 30 can you get him more than eight assists probably by accident Yeah the previous season he had more than quadruple that And that’s what the Ducks are banking on The Ducks are dying for relevance They have some good young players They have some really good goalies They’ve been trying to do some obvious things over the past few years They gave Frank Vrono a salary deferred contract There is no reason to give Frank Vrono a salary deferred contract if you’re the Anaheim Ducks What do you have cap trouble what are you doing no they’re trying to signal to the rest of the league hey look we we’ll spend money They got Radco Gudis on that expensive contract and then they made him captain Alex Gorn same deal They went out and they traded for Jacob Trouba from the New York Rangers Another guy who had a no move clause and said “I don’t want to go to Anaheim.” And the Rangers said “Okay well you’re going.” And he said “No.” And they go “You are?” And he said “No.” And they said “We’ll wave you.” And he said “Okay fine.” And just like Barklay Godro who went to another California team the Rangers keep doing this The Ducks goals are clear for next season They want to contend for a playoff spot They had a greatly improved season this past year but they’re still a ways away You can do a lot with a great goalie or maybe even two Just ask the New York Rangers Some teams around the NHL are trying to change their DNA The Anaheim Ducks are trying to establish theirs The other thing I got to say here I hate what the Rangers are are doing because it’s objectively good for the organization in a vacuum short term Completely screwing Barlay Goodro and waving him and sending him to the San Jose Sharks I mean okay you free up the cap space but brutal way to conduct business And then Jake Trouba hey you’re you’re gonna get traded And he goes no I’m not And then they go “Okay well you’re screwed and we’re just gonna wave you.” And he goes “All right fine.” And he accepts a trade to Anaheim And then they do the exact same thing to Chris Krider who had Anaheim on his no trade list There is a reason that the Hockey Hall of Fame is not called the Hockey Hall of Very nice guys This is a ruthless business decision Speaking of ruthless Greg Washinsky tweets “While I’ve downplayed NHL offer sheet hysteria in the past I think the flexibility to potentially sign an RFA is part of the Rangers thinking on the Krider trade.” Oh now we’re just cooking with gas Hell yeah I think more than most teams around the league we’re all looking at the Rangers and wondering what the heck they’re doing They even have some key restricted or unrestricted free agents Keandre Miller being a chief among them Are they going to get traded are they going to get offer seated are they going to I I assume that they end up in California if they do get traded That’s what Chris Jury does That is a team that had a few pretty decent cracks at the cup faltered at the beginning of the season and they decided we got to change it up And change it up They aggressively are Now there’s the player that the Rangers got the prospect that the Rangers got from the Ducks in Carrie Terrence Interesting prospect because if you look at his hockey DB he’s actually got an interesting Chris Krider-l like statline The season he was drafted in 2223 with the Eerie Otter of the Ontario Hockey League He had more goals than assists The next season more goals than assists This past season more goals than assists The main problem is he hasn’t quite gotten back to his rate from the season that he was drafted In 2223 he had just 17 assists but 30 goals for 47 points in 67 games He’s also from New York um from a part of New York that I think if I tried to pronounce it I know I’m just going to get ridiculed in the comments by all the Rangers fans watching this So I’m not I’m not even going to give you the satisfaction A I’m going to try Aquacas A Aquaassny Aquaassne Manhattan Anyway he had 30 goals 17 assists 47 points The next season 29 goals in fewer games 23 assists 52 points Okay that is an improvement this past season in just 45 games 20 goals 19 assists 39 points Yes it’s in fewer games His goal rate actually just goes back to his his draft year actually a hair below It’s 29 point something He hasn’t taken unbelievable statistical strides put it that way Still a very solid major junior player but for a guy who just turned 20 you hope for more At this past Winter’s World Junior Hockey Championship he played seven games and had two goals He’s from New York State That’s fun Former second round pick That’s fun Might work out might not When you trade a draft pick it’s like trading magic beans because you have no idea what the draft pick is going to turn into It gets a little bit more complicated when you actually draft a player and now there’s a name attached to it But even after you draft them it can still take a few years to figure out whether or not a prospect is going to make it And I kind of feel like Carrie Terrence right now is still a little bit magic beans In a few years who knows those beans might be magic They also might just be beans What do you think Carrie Terrence eventually turns into let me know in the comment box down below And let me know what you thought about this trade What do you think about the way the Rangers treat their players like guys who are wellestablished We’re not just talking about some guy from Big Head Hockey Since 21-22 Chris Krider has more goals than Jake Gensel Sydney Crosby Adrien Kempe Mark Shifley Sebastian Ao Brady Kachchuck One injury riddled season and now he’s useless I kind of agree with that sentiment man Even in an injury busted no good not fun season Chris Krider still scored over 20 goals And this from Rangers Videos all-time leader in playoff goals Chris Crider original six franchise all-time leader in playoff goals third in regular season goals top 10 in several other categories and above all Ranger in every sense of the word Thank you Criedes And the way his Rangers tenure ended is he was forced One last thing CJ show CJ show CJ show The Chris Johnston show Man there is so much garbage
