Confirmed with Link: Jacob Trouba traded to Anaheim Ducks for Urho vaakanainen and 4th Round conditional pick

[Brutananadilewski]

Now they have enough money to pay Igor? Should they?

That's one way to ruin that goodwill Drury just got.

 

[bubba5]

Money for Igor

Maybe for his cab fare to the airport.

I hope we get absolutely curb stomped tonight. Tears from Mika and Chris. Last game as Rangers for at least 2 more. My birthday is Sunday. Come on Chris, don’t just change the linens. Burn the mattress.

Best of luck to Trouba in Anaheim. He was never the best player here, and was judged especially harshly due to his contract, but you really can't deny that until this year and Drury playing games in the offseason, he played his heart out for this team.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Wow.

Thanks Ducks

Let’s see if this team and org can get the train back on the tracks now

Nope

Trouba's cap hit helps Anaheim.

The cap floor is 65 mil this year. If the cap goes up to 95+ mil, the cap floor will probably be about 70 mil. Even after the trade, they only have about 55 mil committed to 15 players.

Which expensive free agents are going to be clamoring to sign there and help them reach the cap floor?

 

[duhmetreE]

no more Lindgren Trouba duo....

can't wait to see Schneids on the PK

 

[Lion Hound]

Good luck Captain! Thanks for Blueline collisions...Especially the Calgary game where you dismantled half the team. Tell Zegras he's going to love NY someday.

 

[94leetch]

Mancini up for good?

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Nope

Let's give it a chance/some time.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

I love Frank the Tank.

Me as well.

Ducks fans are claiming this as a big win for them too, so I'm glad it benefits both sides.

The fact that Drury got them to take on his full salary is 100% worth the trade alone! Well done Drury, keep the trades coming!!

Yeah I don't know about big win. But I think the Ducks will move Fowler in a similar deal, Trouba makes a bit more on the cap but slightly less in salary. As a player he fits the Ducks needs as all their current young D are left handed mobile types like Fowler.

Trading next to nothing for guys like Trouba with short term commitments, is certainly favorable to overpaying another veteran Dman by giving scary term in free agency.

 

[InfernoDaLuz]

Deuces.

 

[nyr2k2]

You know I am a guy who has defended Trouba a lot from a play quality perspective, up until last year. I also defended him using leverage to block a trade this summer; even though I hated it I understood it from a the player's perspective and accepted it for what it was.

So, I am not one to wish this guy ill. With that said, good f***ing riddance.

 

[Vitto79]

Mancini up for good?

For now but the dude from Anaheim May take that spot eventually ?

Could still see Lindgren going now cause NYR can add Money back

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Now they have enough money to pay Igor? Should they?

They've had enough money to pay Igor. They made him the largest contract offer to a goalie in NHL history, he said no.

There are limits to even what he can demand. Won't be much more than what he turned down.

 

[Clark Kellogg]

Some crazy dynamics could be in the cards.
Not that I want it, in fact I don’t want it, but if Igor gets his 12.5 million in the next 24 hours there could be some resentment from Shesterkin’s his teammates.

 

[Hire Sather]

Any reports yet of how classless the Rangers are because they traded a player?

What I want is him to be traded.

Finally a take that trades aren’t meant to be zero sum. Adam Smith would be proud.

 

[Hire Sather]

Trading Trouba isn't really some huge heist because he only has 1 year left after this.

It's still huge but trading Zib would be a lot bigger.

Overall I'm just afraid this gets us closer to paying Igor and breaking the franchise.
