Anaheim actually gave up a player and pick for Trouba, holy crap

Not a nhl caliber one

I assumed the Rangers would have to either retain or give up a 2nd rounder+ to get rid of him

Yeah im really shocked by anaheim wanting him. My guess is theyre gonna trade fowler now

Well that's a long flight for Trouba. Should have put the whole West Coast on his NTC but I guess he didn't, whups. LA probably needs doctors too, but he should have tried harder to not suck as a player.

At least we didn't offer a 4th for him.

Saros contract is looking pretty good if Shesterkin is actually at $12m

$11.5. Still looks good.

Fully agreed in a vacuum. I think NYR think their window is open and and are fine paying the price on the backend of the deal, in a way we should not have been. But definitely makes Saros's deal look better in comparison and, if anything, should raise his trade value.

I'm going to guess he burnt it mostly up with Canadian teams. That seems to be what most guys do.

Taking Trouba's contract on without sweeteners attached is an absolute fleecing, let alone actually giving value up (not much, but still). Idk what the Ducks want with him either. I mean his contract only runs through next year so it's not the end of the world but still hard to understand.

Maybe they hope to flip him at the deadline for the classic physical RHD overpay? Feels like they'd still have to retain to get a decent return but that might be easy enough for them to swing.

Rangers just gave Shesterkin almost 4 million more a year than we gave Saros.. they are the same age.

No. The Saros contract sucks. He is only going to lose his one advantage as he gets older - his quickness.

My guess is Trouba sees Anaheim as an up and coming team, his wife was ok with moving to California, and he is tired of listening to the crap in NY.

I'd rather owe a worn out goalie 8 million a season rather than 12.

True enough - so both contracts suck!

So what are you saying they got a hard on for wood?

Theyre just wood hoarders. They even have Miles' Wood on LTIR. They have an embarresment of Wood

I’ve forgotten my cup a few times in my hockey career and it’s the scariest thing in the world. Can’t imagine doing it all the time voluntarily.

Seems like there's at least one on every team. "It's uncomfortable"... Ya wanna know what is REALLY uncomfortable?

First off: OW!

Secondly: how?!?!?!

Penguins dropping 9 goals on the Habs. Wonder how the Preds would fare against a sieve team like Montreal?
