New York Rangers forward Mika Zibanejad shared a heartfelt goodbye to his longtime teammate, Chris Kreider, on social media Friday. Kreider was traded to the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday for forward prospect Carey Terrance and a third-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft.

On June 12, the New York Rangers and Anaheim Ducks did business for the second time this season, with Chris Kreider and a 2025 fourth-round pick going to the Ducks in exchange for prospect Carey Terrance and a 2025 third-round pick.

Kreider makes the Ducks a better team and, if his health issues are behind him, he should be able to provide value at or close to his $6.5 million cap hit through 2027. For the cost of a depth prospect and a pick swap, it's a sensible gamble.
