🚨𝐁𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐍𝐆: #NHLDucks are expected to place forward Chris Kreider on unconditional waivers for the purpose of mutual contract termination, per Elliotte Friedman. The player has expressed a desire to return to the Eastern Conference, closer to his family. If claimed on waivers by a team he is unwilling to go to, Kreider will not report to the team. Anaheim clears the final year of his $6.5M cap hit, a move needed to extend RFA Cutter Gauthier. #FlyTogether GM Pat Verbeek did not like the trade options presented to him, with teams knowing the Ducks need to clear cap room, specifically asking for sweeteners to get any deal done. Anaheim now has $15.5M in available cap space with a roster of 11/7/3, with Gauthier as the lone RFA skater and Troy Terry expected to begin the season on injured reserve.
