Definitely more hoping than guestimating though, right? Doesn't Trouba have a no move through 24-25 or 25-26?
He'd have to fall out of love with New York and then be able to pick where he goes? Just doesn't seem likely.
here's the real deal
T has a full nmc thru season after next.
we are now 21-22, so that = 23-24.
You can check on cf if you wish...
If he wants, he can dictate staying here that long.
We are otherwise happy but the cap hit esp full pop is a prob
so...
If I were Drury, I would say look, you can work w/us, and we will make a $1m tax deductible donation to medical facility of your wife's choice [to city where we would relocate you] w/understanding from them a good chunk of it goes to whatever she's working on to make her a happy camper.
Do that, and let us deal you next season or following one, and we will bend over backwards to try to make you a happy camper even if we are taking less than your worth based on production.
Or play hardball with us, force us to hold out to the last minute, and the nanosecond we can move you, we will, and your preferences will not be paramount to us.
We are not losing Schneider
I could see w/Nemeth gone soon, Nils stays 3RD to start but can be flipped to LD, or Schneid could go lefty
