Don't look at me, I'm the condescending, milquetoast ******* who only relies on sources that end up being backed up in published reports days, weeks and months later.
At least you get autographs out of your deal.

Oh come on man you're not milquetoast.
if only we didn't give Trouba a NMC. This is exactly why I hated seeing he got one. 3 years from now would probably time really well with moving Trouba out to bring Lundkvist in. I figure he gets another 2 years in SHL and 1 year season in AHL. But that's being very conservative. Love Fox and ADA but i think ADA will price himself off the team between the two of them. Damn Trouba contract!
Nah, it's just tradenashnow/nopuckluck/whatever dipshit username they used
Trouba brings size and physicality to the table. Those are assets that none of the others have. You can't have only smallish puckmovers in your defense core.
Sorry, but Trouba is not going to get moved, NMC or no NMC. As pointed out, I doubt that Gorton envisions the future defense as being half smallish puck moving defensemen.
Good post. I don't agree with a lot of your takes but you're right on the money here except for the Nash part.
thus you can appreciate my frustration. And oof that cap hit. I figure ADA prices himself off the team but I'm also similarly annoyed management could have had him at 2 years, $1.25M but went to the mattresses with him on this bridge deal and got a crappy 1 year out of it.
That is what it was going to take to sign him. Not sure what else there is to discuss. You want a defenseman of his age and caliber, that is the going rate.
Once the Rangers signed Trouba and Panarin, that made any other long term deal impossible. Or basically any other signing. DeAngelo signed at $970k. I doubt that the problem of signing him to a multi year deal came down to $55,000.
