yeah i agree, buying him out is the only option. it would be worth retaining 2-3mil if we could get someone useful back for him but i doubt it (i also doubt that we'll have the balls to buy him out).

I do agree with you two that buying him out is far better for our team than him playing even 3rd pairing, but I just can't see the organization doing that 2 years after naming him captain.

Me neither but I also didn't see Drury biting the bullet on Nemeth and Blais. I will have a lot of faith in Drury if he buys him out shows what everyone sees. The captaincy was always a joke even when he was a better player. He wasn't good enough to lead by example and he seems awkward AF so I don't see him as a ra ra guy either in the lockerroom.

Because he suckss he’s reeling and he can feel the pressure coming especially as captain. If anyone would buy him out it’s Drury he’s experienced it.

To be fair, for anyone on the team who wanted to miss a check and fly face-first into the boards, he led by example.

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. He cannot be on the team next year whether it's trade with retention or buyout. This is probably the easiest move to "shake up the core" (Panarin and Zibanejad are here to stay with their contracts and I think Kreider at his cap hit and goal output is just too valuable to move for a team competing for a Cup) and this isn't a case of a guy just being overpaid. This guy is just a flat out detriment to the team when he's on the ice. Having a replacement level player in his place would have done wonders for them in the playoffs.

Before making any contract move Id like to know what happened this season. His first 3 months were dramatically different than his play after injury.

Yup
Buyout on June 15th
easiest decision Chris Drury will ever have
 
You'd think this organization would learn after seeing what happened to Leetch and McDongh that the C is too much of a weight for their dmen to handle.

Dude there's no way LMAO
Not even close
We would have been better with a replacement level player (900k cap hit) than Jacob Trouba. He has a 8M cap hit.
GMs are not that dumb

I think Jacob Trouba has trade value around the NHL if we retain $4 mill of salary.
 
I wonder who is on his NTC. I would assume all canadian teams since his wife is a doctor and wouldnt be able to practice in canada.

Then who else?
 
My thoughts on Trouba is that he has to be injured. He either re-broke his foot, or sprained his ankle.

With 2 years left on his deal I see the Rangers Ride or dying with him for one more season, and burying him on the third pair and trading or buy him out in his final season. To me that makes the most sense.

The Rangers will probably get a really good season out of him making him more tradeable and if he shits the bed again a buyout of his final year stings less than 2 years.

His play in the first 3 months of the season was so different than his play when he came back. I'd be curious to see if they make anything injury wise public. They tend to be fairly tight lipped.

If so, it would explain a lot. Our D corps was a mash unit.

I had not seen that but I'm not shocked. He looked so different than in the first 3 months. Thanks for posting that.
