Confirmed Trade: [ANA/NYR] Jacob Trouba for Urho Vaakanainen and 2025 4th round pick

The other thread got locked, but I'll repeat what I said there....

Trouba has to be furious, right? Wife is still a Dr in NY and that was one of the key reasons for the original move to NY? And they just had a baby earlier this year?

I mean... You don't think other players have wives that have jobs?

He should have taken less money in exchange for a full NMC.

It sucks, but he won't be the first player whose personal life is inconvenienced by a trade. It's part of the pros and cons of being a pro athlete. You can't reasonably be married to one area, unless you have the leverage or willingness to make significant consolations to stay there.

Nothing would have stopped him from mutually voiding his contract with the Rangers and signing with the Adirondack Thunder. Or going to the Devils or Islanders on a PTO last offseason.

The Rangers did nothing wrong here. Threatening to waive him isn't unethical. They know that he will get claimed and they value the cap space more than where he fits in their lineup.

Vaakanainen and picks

I mean, that's not the Rangers problem...he doesn't have an NMC.

As a life long Rangers fan I wouldn’t wanna play for a Drury team. Between Goodrow and now Trouba that’s no way to treat your players. Almost makes me think the team is giving up on him.

Should have been an accountant if he wanted a stable job.

That’s quite the commute to work for Mrs.Trouba.

Anaheim to Manhattan. She might have to skip the gym in the morning.

seems like he gave up on the team, no? hes sucked for a few years

 

[LemonSauceD]

lmfao, NY just robbed the shit out of Anaheim.

 

[BKarchitect]

That the Rangers got a 4th and didn’t have to retain anything…actually a pretty fortunate way out of this for Drury and co.

 

[FlyguyOX]

What a slap in the face to Trouba. They literally sent him as far as possible from NY. Poor guy will never see his wife and family.

No, they definitely didn't do anything wrong. He definitely had other outs. If detroit was on the table earlier this year, he should have taken that deal 100%. That's a hell of a lot more manageable.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'm assuming the Finn sucks and he's just a warm body? So essentially some sort of pick and that guy for Trouba. No retention or anything?

If so, seems like Trouba had value around the NHL.

Fans continue to not believe that NHL teams value players like Trouba more than they do.

 

[EdJovanovski]

LMAO what in the world
Thought it would cost a 1st to get rid of that bum

 

[SharksCyclops]

Hate the idea of seeing him in the Pacific, but games against the Knights should be sufficiently violent.

[Forge]

Honestly feels crazy good for the Rangers

 

[Slats432]

Thanks for the $8 schmill in cap space, Pat Verbeek. -NY Rangers

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Can't wait for the Rags to trade him and become even more dysfunctional

i imagine the team comes our mopey as hell tonight and get demolished by Pittsburgh

 

[Malkinstheman]

Absolutely moronic to pay to take on Troubas entire contract. How do these people become GMs

Did something happen? was he that bad?
to trade your captain who seemed to still be an NHL level player seems crazy
