Rumor: Buffalo & NYR having conversations about Trocheck today

[Djp]

Arguably he’s the 1C on your team.

3Cs don’t get high picks.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

Arguably he’s the 1C on your team.

That would be a heck of an argument. At best, he'd be 2C. He's not a top liner, and time is ticking on him. I liked him a lot a few years ago, but it just ain't there the way it was.

 

[toddkaz]

The 45th pick and a B prospect is about his worth

 

[BB88]

The 45th pick and a B prospect is about his worth

With how incredible bad this UFA market is his value is more than that easily

 

[DJN21]

No biggie, we’ll hold onto Tro then, try and convince Larkin to come over.

Okie doke

any guesses?

See below.

Player A was traded for much more than your suggestion

ok and? Some GM was dumb enough to make that trade.

He’s definitely not a top liner but he’s 1C on your team

 

[Buffalo Preds]

You’re officially in win now mode!! Congrats. In a trade like this, you’re trading a projection for a certainty of what Trocheck is today. Theres risk on each side, but I don’t think there’s anything to discuss unless one of Kulich or Helenius comes back imo.

Trocheck isn’t the target if they are using Ostlund as bait

 

[stokes84]

I mean I guess I’d consider McLeod for Trochek straight up. Just giving a different look to each teams 3C. Rangers get faster and younger. Sabres get a vet who can take faceoffs.

Kinda shuffling deck chairs but it could make sense.

 

[I Eat Crow]

3Cs don’t get high picks.

Neither do #3 D's usually, but here we are.

 

[TommyDangles]

If only Trocheck was 25

nah. 2nd + B prospect is just an objective lowball. which, sure, if publicizing fantasies of fleecejobs make you feel powerful or whatever, nobody gonna stop you.

but player A is brock nelson at time of trade for 1st, cond 3rd, A prospect, and cap dump. bigger, better goal scorer and didn't benefit from play with panarin. but lacks trochecks PK, FO, versatility of overall game and chippiness: all things that matter most in the playoffs when it counts.


not saying he's worth 4 overall. and like i said feel free to amuse yourself with lowball posts. but i'm interested in how a reasonable buffalo fan might meet a roughly equivalent return to the Nelson deal.

Good thing we aren't in an arms race heading into the post season.

let me try again:

Offering a 2nd and a B prospect is no different than another poster saying Helenius is coming back.

Thats ridiculous.

 

[sxvnert]

I don’t think any realistic Rangers fan would expect otherwise. 20th and a young player seems about right with a plus here or there

Trocheck is still a very good player. He got hurt in camp and had some weird health issues last year, but he’s still a great guy on and off the ice. He’d fit nicely in Buffalo

Good to have three centers in case Norris goes down again.

i don't understand. you're not trying to improve your team because there's too much time before the trade deadline?

plenty of evidence that GMs prefer to get their business done earlier to allow team to develop chemistry.

Wasn’t Nelson at the deadline?

 

[Carl Lindros]

3Cs don’t get high picks.

they get traded for late firsts all the time tf you talking about

 

[AirGut]

Feeling a lot of eichel thread nostalgia

This is nothing,
I should know, I couldn't stop spamming about Eichel all of summer 2021

 

[SML2]

May as well lock this. Every player in the Buffalo organization is untouchable anyway. You saw how much it took to get Byram. The overpay was because he was a Sabre.

i don't think it's ridiculous to compare konsta helenius to calum ritchie at the time of his trade

There just isn't the urgency is all.

Plenty other routes to take to improve team.
