- In June 2025, the Anaheim Ducks and New York Rangers engaged in advanced talks regarding a trade that would send 34-year-old winger Chris Kreider to Anaheim.
- Following a disappointing 2024-25 season in which Kreider recorded 22 goals and 8 assists, the Rangers missed the playoffs and began considering changes to their roster, leading to ongoing trade discussions.

- If completed, the trade would reunite Kreider with former teammate Jacob Trouba in Anaheim and provide salary cap relief as the Rangers plan to retool their lineup.
