Around the League 46: Sharks Finally Yank A Win Out Of Their Cloaca

[Lempo]

the fact that your ACTIVE CAPTAIN is someone you need to visciously strong arm off your team in some soap opera-like display says so much about the Rangers right now. LOL.

I'd agree if it wasn't Jacob Trouba, but it all feels like Act II remembering how he forced WPG to trade him to NYR and only there when he was about to become UFA.

It's like Barry Lyndon, except that the guy is a dick in both halves of the film.

It would be funny as hell if the Jets picked him up.

Trouba traded to Anaheim, apparently

Trouba traded to Anaheim, apparently

"Screw you Chris, I'm going to Disneyland!"

Drury trades Trouba to Anaheim.

"No, not like that!"

 

[Unhinged Finn]

Trouba traded to Anaheim, apparently

That is pretty close to New York. Like on the same continent.

Urho Vaakanainen and a pick for Trouba

Urho Vaakanainen and a pick for Trouba

And no salary retention.

Of course Rangers get another out of jail card. Stupid GMs.

 

[Chrispy]

Galaxy brain stuff about why the hell Anaheim would do this.

The salary floor is $65M and Anaheim is at $68M. With this move Anaheim can move some veterans without needing to take back enough salary to stay above the floor.

Could Gibson be on the move? Vatrano?

Trouba traded to Anaheim, apparently

Well, a Trouba-Gudas pairing is going to injure a lot of players as they're scored on

Until Trouba goes for a flying elbow and hits Gudas in the head.

Breaking Trouba's elbow.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

I should've known that the meatball dunces known as NHL GMs still coveted Trouba and other "hard-to-play-against" players in certain corners. This is why the Rangers keep getting these ridiculous bailouts for players that they should pay assets to go away.

Yeah, I wasn't really expecting any retention. GMs still value a bum that's physical and has leadership. I like those qualities if the guy can actually play. The Rags will be able to reshape themselves a good bit either now, at the deadline, or in the offseason.

Fortunately they have the ability to buy something stupid. Like they did with Trouba and WPG.

 

[A Star is Burns]

Portzline says he would not waive to go to Columbus.

 

[DaveG]

It'll be interesting to see what the conclusion is. I don't like this because New York stands to get better just by moving on from this bum.

The thing I don't like about this is that they've been linked to a move with Miller of late. Managing to get out from under this prick and improving from Zib to Miller would absolutely piss me off.

 

[bleedgreen]

I don’t think anyone helped the Rags out. As much as fans want to hate the guy he still has value and honestly I get it. If he was at half price I bet we’d have had a chat with them. I bet we called anyways just to know the price.

I was gonna say I can't see JTM wanting to go back to NYR, but he doesn't have a NTC so it could happen I guess...they'd probably have to give up a lot though to get him

[sabremike]

The real winner in this whole Trouba thing was Kevyn Adams as it's taken away the spotlight from the press conference he held today that went about as well as the last one Budd Dwyer ever held.

 

[Brock Anton]

So the Rangers managed to get out from both Goodrow and Trouba's contracts and didn't have to give up a single asset to do so.

f***ing ridiculous.

 

[chaz4hockey]

Ranger signing their goalie at $11.5m per for 8 years. Getting rid of Truba sure helped.

Anaheim GM to be on Drury’s Christmas card list going forward.

 

[Joe McGrath]

Verbeek is still Anaheim’s GM right? He definitely played with Ted Drury so maybe he still owes him a favor

 

[chaz4hockey]

Lol Ducks PR:

 

[tarheelhockey]

Caps might really be a problem. Watching them manhandle Toronto physically, I don’t even care how this game turns out in early December, I feel like I’m watching a team that’s got a playoff mentality vs one that doesn’t.

Remember meeting him outside the Meadowlands Arena after a game the Whalers got crushed 4-0 in. Zalapski and a few other guys were traded earlier in the day and Burkie had the flu and it was the most phoned in effort ever (think they only had 9 shots, Brodeur only got 3rd star).
