The forgotten player in the New York Rangers and Anaheim Ducks trade involving Chris Kreider is forward Carey Terrance.

Veteran winger Chris Kreider is heading to the Anaheim Ducks as part of a trade from the New York Rangers. The teams completed the deal Thursday. The Rangers are getting center prospect Carey Terrance and a third-round pick from the Ducks for Kreider and a fourth-round pick, plus the salary cap space they can use this summer.

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.
