Anaheim Ducks Terminate Chris Kreider's Contract, Veteran Winger Becomes Unrestricted Free Agent

The Anaheim Ducks have officially terminated Chris Kreider's contract by mutual consent, making the 35-year-old winger an unrestricted free agent. This move frees up $6.5 million in salary-cap space for the Ducks, allowing them to pursue signing restricted free-agent winger Cutter Gauthier. Kreider, who had a bounce-back season with 22 goals and 50 points, reportedly seeks a return to an Eastern Conference team.
