Ducks Place 50-Point Chris Kreider on Waivers for Contract Termination

3 articles · Updated · Stanley Cup of Chowder · Sep 10

Summary

  • Anaheim put Chris Kreider on waivers Wednesday to terminate his contract, a move that would make the veteran winger an unrestricted free agent if he goes unclaimed.
  • Reports cited in the latest coverage say Kreider may not report to just any claiming team and instead wants to return to the East Coast, which could discourage a waiver claim.
  • The 34-year-old still produced 50 points last season, making his sudden availability notable even as his preferred destination remains unclear.
  • Kreider is expected to clear waivers Thursday; if he does, attention will quickly shift from the termination process to free-agency speculation.
