Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman has reported that the Anaheim Ducks are buying out forward Chris Kreider. Kreider, now 35, had one year remaining on his contract at a $6.5 million AAV. He posted 50 points (22 goals, 28 assists) in 75 games last season, and with the buyout now official, he immediately becomes one of the most intriguing free‑agent options on the market.
