We knew it was coming, but that doesn't make it hurt any less.

The New York Rangers have officially moved on from their longest tenured player in a trade that involves a pick swap and the Rangers getting a prospect, Carey Terrance, in return.

It appears that Chris Drury did Kreider a favor as several teams were interested in him but Anaheim was a preferred destination.

It's also important to note that the Rangers will not be retaining any salary in the trade and therefore have an extra $6.5 million in the budget as they continue to navigate their longest off-season in recent memory.

The Rangers all-time leader in playoff goals, third in regular season goals, in the top-ten of so many other categories, Chris Kreider has solidified his place in Rangers history forever. We'll have plenty of time to give this player his flowers all summer long but for now, all we'll say is thank you for all the memories and we wish him nothing but the best in Anaheim.
