Kreider Heads East on Waivers | Sports News

Chris Kreider is hitting free agency after the Anaheim Ducks waived him for contract termination — a move he agreed to, giving him full control over his next destination. Seeking to return east near family and where he began his career, Kreider won’t report to teams he doesn’t want to play for, making his next stop entirely his call. The Ducks, needing cap space ahead of Cutter Gauthier’s big contract, opted for this waiver route over trade talks. With any team able to claim him, contenders like the Islanders, Devils, or even the Sabres could be in play — but only if it’s a fit for Kreider’s goals.
