I agree. I do see lots or Rangers posters saying all but Laf should be available.
I think Trocheck might be off the table now. Before Trouba was moved (with no retention) I thought they might have to sacrifice a guy like Trocheck because of cap concerns/likely inability to move Zibanejad. But because we didn't have to eat anything on Trouba (and Kakko off the books now too) this is less of a concern.

I am sure the Canes could make a good deal for Trocheck though. Unfortunately (?), I don't see any Trocheck to CAR deal that would not include Jack Drury and the optics of that right now would be exponentially ugly; so I just don't think there is a deal here.

I think Jack would look good playing for his Uncle (for however long that may be)

I am very ambivalent on Jack Drury. I think he does a lot of stuff right, but I don't think NHL caliber offense is ever coming. That being said, the Rangers are playing this way because they are trying to get Chris Drury fired; so trading Trocheck for Jack is probably the only thing that could make this locker room even worse. Frankly, it wouldn't be fair to Jack either. Also Chris may have lame duck status himself so it would just be a very silly deal to make, value wise or not..
