June 12 (UPI) -- The Anaheim Ducks traded for New York Rangers forward Chris Kreider, the teams announced Thursday.
The Ducks agreed to send prospect Carey Terrance and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft to the Rangers in exchange for the veteran, who was the Rangers' longest-tenured player (13 years).
"Chris Kreider is the type of player we were looking to add this offseason," Ducks general manager Pat Verbeek said in a news release.
"He has size, speed and is a clutch performer that elevates his game in big moments. Chris also upgrades both of our special teams units, something we really needed to address."
Kreider, 34, totaled 22 goals and eight assists over 68 appearances this season. The No. 19 overall pick in the 2009 NHL Draft totaled 326 goals and 256 assists over his first 883 career appearances.
