Around the NHL 11 - 2023/24

Trouba situation with the Rangers is an absolute mess. For those not following the drama:

• Trouba's NMC changed into a modified 15 team NTC yesterday
• Rangers tried to trade him Detroit with 2.5 million retained to free up capspace to sign players (both their own and FA).
• Detroit is on Trouba's NTC list. Rangers ask him to waive the NTC or they will place him on waivers and get rid of his contract that way
• Trouba camp leaks he won't be happy with a trade not only to Detroit but even to teams not on his NTC list as his wife has 1 more year of residency left and she has to stay in NY
• This scares off other teams who are interested in Trouba and not on his No trade list, who now don't want to trade for him.
• Now looks like Rangers are stuck with Trouba for this season, there is bad blood between the two parties, fans are pissed, some at Trouba some at the Rangers.
• Trouba is still the captain going into the next season.

What a f***ing mess. Good job, Trouba. No one ever said you were smart, but your heart is in the right place.

NYR knew exactly what they were getting when they traded for him. Trouba forced the Jets into basically having 1 trading partner because he wanted to be in NY and nowhere else, and what, the Rangers are surprised today because that stance hasn't changed?

But but but………..those big cheap shots, oh I mean hitz

Dude is hiding behind his wife’s situation again to justify his actions. Jacob nobody gives a shit if you have to be long distance for one hockey season as your wife does her last year in residency. Is this clown for real.

The contract was a joke from day 1

Playing hardball with James Dolan.

Justifying his actions of using the clauses in his contract that the team gave him?

I'd assume Jacob gives a shit if he has to be long distance from his wife and 9 month old child before they're able to move with him. The only hiccup here with the timing is that the pandemic slowed his wife's residency timeline, she was supposed to be done by now.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

So the Oilers are already over the cap by $3.5 M and they still have not be penalized for last year for being over the cap.
What is the penalty for being over the cap anyways?
GM has to resign?

CF shows them 2.5 over with 22 on the roster. They still have to sign Holloway and Broberg. Hmmmmm

Offer sheet Schneider!!!!!

Rangers eat the contract this year and then just let him go for free. Some other team will sign him for as little as possible. Probably NJ or the Isles.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Don't really get what NYR are expecting lol. The guy specifically forced a trade to NY area only because of his wife's work and now they are angry that he doesn't want to waive his NTC they agreed to for a team in Michigan when giving him his contract?

Talk about being a spoiled franchise and fan base...

There are NYC area teams. Surely Trouba could be persuaded to go to one of them. Has to be an uncomfortable situation for him too.

 

[Gm0ney]

If the Rangers had only downloaded the Trouba App, they would've known all this in advance...

He has 2 years left.

 

[robertocarlos]

He has 2 years left.

Even better. Stupid Rangers. He can sit for 2 years then. Rangers can waive him then send him to the AHL to save a few dollars. When your goalie wants $12.9 million you need every dollar you can save on the Cap.

Edit: First post I read om HFNYR says bury him in Hartford. Probably meant literally.

What's worse?

Being buried in Hartford or sleeping with the fish?

You never know with those NY types lol

 

[WolfHouse]

Still surprised that TNSE didn't build a hospital in Winnipeg for Trouba's wife's residency haha

Lindgren has arb rights so he will end up around 4-4.5 imo

They can survive this year but next they have a lot of big contracts waiting - Shesterkin will be 10m

Someone is going to get a deal on Schneider - it should be us.

I'm taking just a little bit of satisfaction in the Rangers trying to strongarm Trouba out of New York just like Trouba strongarmed his way out of Winnipeg.

Karma.

He doesn't have a full NMC NTC anymore so lets see if he and Overcharge can get the right 15 teams listed so George Costanza can figure out how to stay a Ranger when they don't want him.

Word is Detroit is 1 of those teams given there was a trade worked out with them.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

IIRC, Trouba has a 15 team NMC, which means he can be moved to any team not on that list

They should ship him out to whereever and laugh in his face when they tell him where he's going

Bonus points if it's someplace like Buffalo or Utah!

 

[Blue Shakehead]

I'd forgotten all about that ridiculous Trouba app.

Overhardt learned from WPG that if they just hide behind Trouba's wife, they can disarm the whole "my client is actually a POS" thing. Im surprised that NYC media and fanbase are falling for this nonsense. Eve here, we have a bunch of media who were sympathetic to it - despite the fact that they were originally demanding a trade because of RD depth. Absolute farce.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Just retire Trouba, I'm sure the missus won't mind you going down to 85K a year being the upstate Budweiser rep talking hockey in Poughkeepsie and selling suds to Big Al's tavern , money doesn't buy happiness.

 

[ThinIce61]

Schmidt in Florida for 800K.
Maurice liked him anyways.

Now to find that Peaches &Herb song "Reunited".
Good Luck Nate. Jets a lesser team without you.
See you in the 2025 SCF.

 

[Eyeseeing]

Hard to not like the guy
I am happy for him

 

[SCP Guy]

Schmidt is a fantastic 800k dman…. Schmidt is a terrible 6 million dollar dman lol

Ducks signed Harkins for 2x$800k...kind of surprised the Panthers didn't (I'm sure PoMo loved him too)

This is possibly the most misogynistic post I've seen on this board...

excellent my desired reaction.

I'm sure I've posted worse based on their gif content (judging by the mods reactions to some of them)
