Proposal: Jacob Trouba 30% retained to Detroit in the offseason

[FoxyClean]

Detroit: Jacob Trouba (30% retained)
NYR: 2025 2nd round pick

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

With only two years left at 5.6, in actual dollars just over 8 million. Yzerman would have to get rid of some of the contracts already on the backend, but I don't hate this. I suspect most of our fanbase will, but I think Trouba would fit in pretty well with the room, he can fill a need on the right side and help break-in Edvinsson.

 

[FlyguyOX]

Hell no from Detroit. Because they need another more expensive Chiarot

 

[RedHawkDown]

But why? He kinda sucks ?

 

[topdawg]

I take this all day as a wings fan

 

[thadd]

As long as Trouba isn't playing on the first pairing, I think this trade works for Detroit.

 

[eco's bones]

Rangers aren't going to trade their captain for a f***ing 2nd rounder. That's absolute fantasy land.

Also the guy with this idea should keep in mind that the Rangers don't have any prospect D who could conceivably within the next few years become a top 4 NHL quality defenseman. We're that thin on defensemen. Trading Trouba pretty much means trading other players to get another top 4 defenseman and probably lesser player which will cost other assets and picks or signing a UFA for term and $'s. You might not like Trouba and/or his contract but we got Schneider to replace him with and nothing worthwhile to replace Schneider then on the bottom pair.

Done lol trouba is a tank and a good leader not sure NYR does this

 

[Kupo]

I bet GM’s around the league value Trouba a lot higher than your average fan on this forum.

 

[SantosHalper]

Well it's been said that Yzerman is looking for a non-rental physical defenseman, easy yes.

 

[hurdemz]

Damn, Trouba fell off hard. I'd be willing to take the chance and give up a first at that retention for him. Cant see the rags giving him up so cheap.

 

[tlk]

Calm down, the thread is a wind up.

I assume the only reason they would is cap flexibility.

 

[Go Wings]

Pass

Yup they would and GMs make mistakes all the time with trade. PLD the latest example.

 

[miscs75]

Captain Elbows is your cap issue. You keep him until it runs out.

 

[TS Quint]

But why? He kinda sucks ?

No, the Rangers just suck.

We need the cap relief more than we need him.
You are 111% correct we need a 3RD to replace.
That fact does not nec override the concern as to cap relief.
Also, keeping him prevents having room to cap fit/roster utilize a replacement.

Also further, after stupidity of splurging for win now rentals that are epic fails, we can use that 2nd, whether it is to acquire and develop an asset, or to help obtain a young RD

If we are smart and listen to bern, and can accept growing pains, we can do something like

BMB [McConnell-Barker] for ANA's Helleson
that is comparable prospects, BMB w/longer team control, I believe
BMB is a pivot who can help Ducks when re-evaluating as Strome contract winds down

also
Barron from MON is a discussion

Done lol trouba is a tank and a good leader not sure NYR does this

pls note above
It would be tempting, upon acquiring 3RD
to keep Trouba + play him at 4RW w/Edstrom + Rempe
but we need to repurpose his salary

No, the Rangers just suck.

WOW
this is telling

speaks as to how you are not objective about NYR

Trouba is horrible. They should take the 2nd and run to offload a cap dump.

Galaxy Brain take right there!

 

[The Real JT]

Expecting a team’s Captain to be traded in the middle of a playoff run while the team is playing well just ain’t gonna happen.

Too much work. Good point nonetheless.

Regardless, Captains are rarely if ever traded.

Absolutely, and it’d also basically send the message that it isn’t working and needs a total shakeup. Which.. Trouba is what he is and the team is fire, Panarin and Zib are just kinda mercurial in playoffs. But either way, you don’t gain shit from losing a key defenseman for.. future parts. They’re in win now mode, this trade does less than nothing for them.

 

[LOFIN]

Why would Trouba waive?

 

[DanielBrassard]

With that much retention I think you could scratch out a 1st for Trouba. With his reputation, I think some team would pay that for him. I’d prefer not to retain but I’d take back Holl, gives the Rangers more flexibility than having the retained money on the books.
