Rumor: "Decision has been made" to trade or waive Trouba - Larry Brooks

[Vitto79]

They can always try to work out a trade to the Islanders/Devils?

I’m sure that would be easy!

Devils are full on D
They can’t take an even worse Mayfield contract but I guess a Cizikas ?

Why would they want him, he stinks

 

[Cnile]

Who wears the hockey pants in that family?

 

[Pavels Dog]

This is why divorce was invented.

 

[ShakenNotStirred]

Oh boy now it gets messy.. So because of his wife.. The rangers cant operate the way they want to

A guy who puts his families needs over his employers needs? What a loser!

 

[Bronson]

Brooks can f*** right off honestly. And no way the Islanders would 1) help the Rangers 2) take on Trouba.

 

[waitin425]

Can't blame Trouba. Has a NMC. I'd exercise it. His wife is doing infinitely more important work than he does, he should be supporting her.

 

[Felidae]

Well, reporting on this is a surefire way for Trouba's wife to receive a bunch of unnecessary hate. I mean, hopefully doesn't happen. But we all know how fans can be.

 

[Hivemind]

Some of the comments in this thread are unhinged.

 

[Legion34]

So brooks got caught. The trade isn’t going to Happen so he throw the guys wife under the bus?

Seems odd. why do this?

 

[forever1922]

Yea, leave the families out of these speculations, everyone's family affects their situation to an extent. Trouba has rights per contract, boo-hoo.

I'm glad most hfboards members obviously get it, you guys are smart, sensible people.

 

[BondraTime]

Good for Trouba.

 

[Beauterham]

Why would they want him, he stinks

Islanders had some defensive issues, right? Maybe they can swap contracts or the Rangers can throw in a sweetner.

 

[absolute garbage]

Man, imagine if we as a society valued grown adults chasing a rubber disk around over professionals saving lives.

What a crazy world that would be.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Unacceptable.. how dare a hockey player have a life outside of hockey and plan his life with his family.

Players are SUPPOSED to be treated like a video game/fantasy hockey league team

 

[CookiesAndMilk]

f*** that guy and doublef*** his elbow but he is absolutely right in this situation. Family comes first. I hope both parties will figure it out.

 

[Ignite111]

I mean his wife is the reason he went there.

 

[Sideline]

Trouba as a hockey player is a first class scumbag, but putting his wife and kid above his career as a pro athlete makes me begrudgingly respect him.

 

[PenguinSuitedUp]

It sounds like it would be a whole lot better for everybody if he just retired.

 

[zizbuka]

The surprising news is it's now Jacob Trouba-Tyson.

 

[howkie]

If it was any other player/agent combo I would give him the respect he deserves for sticking up for his family, but we talking Trouba and Overhardt. The way they acted towards Jets and only cared about themself and putted Jets in difficult position, I just say had this coming. Trouba has no power this time, either he tries to help Rangers and move to a place that would fit or he can end up and waivers and hopefully get claimed by Flames or Jets so he get stuck in Canada...

Panarin at half down to 5.8ish per x 2 yrs remaining

Isles downgrade 1RD but huge adds otherwise

bread was offered more by NYI than the 11.6+ he took from Rs

Rs now have Fox, Dobson, Schneider at RD, while a huge cost, settles RD
thin ar W til Gabe P gets here, but Berard deserves a shot

 

[Stringer Bell]

If we’re being honest, she just doesn’t want to leave her side piece who is the one she is really in love with. That’s what’s holding it up.

 

[Pavels Dog]

Man, imagine if we as a society valued grown adults chasing a rubber disk around over professionals saving lives.

What a crazy world that would be.

Trouba is a good player but he isn’t saving lives. Also doctors do more than chasing rubber disks.

 

[NJ DevLolz]

Trouba is an A+ husband.

Brooks is an A+ dbag for reporting this.

This is A+ comedy gold for various reasons. 1) Rangers fans are pumped to trade for him 2) defend brutal contract
3) defend and celebrate awful predatory hits
4) are in denial of decline that has been starting for a few years
5) make him playoff whipping boy and are ready to run him out of town
6) can’t move contract because of weird circumstances.
