Sounds like a deal to move Kreider to Anaheim is in the works. He’d been mentioned as an option if the Wings struck out on the big free agent options, but my gut is that he’s closer to Tarasenko territory than a bounce-back year.
The New York Rangers traded Chris Kreider to the Anaheim Ducks on Thursday for center prospect Carey Terrance. The deal also includes a draft pick swap, with the Rangers getting a 2025 third-round pick (No. 89) and the Ducks getting a 2025 fourth-round pick (No. 104).
So basically nothing

I'm trying to come up with the funniest team he could sign with
It's too bad the SNES don't have the cap space

Nashville Predators defenseman and captain Roman Josi will be ready for training camp, the team said Wednesday, after being diagnosed and treated for a form of orthostatic intolerance. This term describes symptoms that occur when a person stands up and that are relieved by lying down.
Josi was diagnosed with Postural Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS) toward the end of the regular season, the team said. The National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS) describes POTS as being among a group of disorders that feature orthostatic intolerance. Symptoms often include dizziness or fainting due to a lack of blood flowing to the brain when a person stands from a lying down or seated position.
Uh, just retire? Is he going to lie down on the bench between shifts?

Seems good - feel like he could have gotten more in arbitration. He looked fantastic, though if that visual doesn't turn into actual production then this deal will suck ass

Duchene reups in Dallas at 4.5 x 4

A few free agency thoughts:
1. The NHL should do something about state tax disparity and adding an equalizing multiplier seems like a simple enough solution. It’ll never happen but between Duchene taking a pittance and Bennett inevitably leaving money on the table to stay in Florida, there’s a huge gulf between the Winnipegs having to overpay and Florida getting to underpay.
2. Speaking of, Jamie Benn will sign in Florida. Book it.
3. My gut is that Marner goes to Anaheim. Sounds like Chicago might be out.
4. I don’t think Boeser is Guerin’s type of player, but I think that’s where he ends up.

Do fans of any other sport complain - or even talk - about state taxes? I've never heard it.

Not that I can remember
It’s a perfect storm in the NHL because the teams in Florida, Texas, and Nevada are all contenders, with ownership willing to spend money. It’s not like the Miami Marlins.
I don’t get the sense that NBA players ever take less. There are also clearer tiers (mid-level exemptions) past max deals.
Other leagues also don’t have as many Canadian teams feeling the opposite side of things.

The NHL is also the only league with a hard cap though I heard Bill Simmons call the new NBA cap with the extra luxury tax apron a hard cap on a podcast recently

The NFL has a hard cap but because the league makes so much money and it’s tied to revenues, teams only get in trouble if they habitually restructure deals to the future (looking at you, New Orleans Saints).

The Kraken took on all of Marchment’s $4.5 million cap hit for next season, according to league sources, and sent a 2026 third-round pick and a 2025 fourth-round pick back to Dallas in return.
I would have done that in a second.

Marek said he figured Nill owed it to Marchment to trade him to another no tax state since Marchment signed for a pretty team friendly cap hit. given how unlikely it is that the NHL would act to address this imbalance that benefits the teams in the southern markets that have just about enough fans to fill their arena most nights I think the most practical move here is to petition to congress to change the constitution so that all states charge the same level of income tax.
