Confirmed with Link: NYR Acquire Jacob Trouba for Pionk and 20th Overall pick

Wowzers

Would have to imagine they have a pretty strong sense he will sign long term. Give him 7 x 7.5 and be done with it

This also signals to me that Shattenkirk is probably gone at the draft or via buyout. Also wonder how this affects the plan with Kreider

 

[Edge]

So what are the chances that Kreider goes on Friday for a 1st?

Rangers will continue to gauge the market.

I have to tell you that I think Buch might be a decent candidate to go though if the Rangers feel strongly enough about going that route.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

I thought trading for Trouba was not a good idea. For a garbage dman and the #2o pick Im all for it

 

[Tawnos]

Do I have this right... they can sign him for 7 years now, but they can sign him for 8 on July 1?

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

I wonder if this means Trouba and the Rangers have agreed to a contract extension, or if he'll still test free agency.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Opens alot of needed cap room for Jets

This needed to be done for Winnipeg

 

[Raspewtin]

LMFAOOOOOOOO

A few things we need to understand with Gorton right now:

1. He has a very good idea of what teams are asking for.

2. He is very pragmatic about his approach.

3. He knows what his team is willing to pay.

4. There is an opening in JD & The Straight Shot for the "The World is my Oyster" Tour, so whomever greases the palm the best gets to play the tambourine.

I hope this changes the naysayers minds about signing Panarin

Now we get to sign 2 huge contracts?

 

[Rangerfan4life90]

Do I have this right... they can sign him for 7 years now, but they can sign him for 8 on July 1?

He's 25. I'd easily sign him up right now for 7-8 years. That's pretty much all, if not, most of his prime years.

 

[pld459666]

That's akin to getting Jagr for Carter

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

I hope this changes the naysayers minds about signing Panarin

It doesn't.

Lets see what happens the rest of this week though.

 

[Kaapo Takko]

Great deal. How much will Trouba get on his next contract? 6-7 years @ 7-8mil?

 

[Machinehead]

People asked me how I felt about winning the Champions League and I didn't know what to say. I had to sit with it for 48 hours to find words.

Same here tbh.

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

I have NOOOOOOOO problem with this.

Shit, it's better than having the conditional first attached.

 

[bobbop]

I truly though a Trouba trade was going to happen but I am amazed at the low cost. This is incredibly good news. The Rangers now have a stud 25 year old first pair defenseman at an incredibly low cost. Wow, just Wow!

 

[Brooklyn Rangers Fan]

Hooooooooly **** what a move. Either Trouba resigns with us or we move him for a 1st+ at the upcoming deadline. HUGE win. Bye Pionk

Yeeeeeep.

 

[Leetch3]

also probably RIP to us trading up to get a center on friday night

 

[kovazub94]

Gorton got us our Chara

 

[Paulie Walnutz]

So does Brooks redeem his credibility a little now?

 

[pld459666]

60 over 8

That's 7.5 per

 

[howztheglass]

Got to believe this may lead to CK getting dealt at the draft to get back the additional first round pick.

May also lead to Breadman taking CK spot.

JG with a steal now get Trouba signed so we know how much cap space we have available—got to believe it will be in the 7.5-8 range. Knowing JG with his wizardry Trouba will sign for 5 million a year where we all believe he wants more.

 

[Falco Lombardi]

Lmfao you guys paid them with their own money.

Congrats on a whale of a trade

Do I have this right... they can sign him for 7 years now, but they can sign him for 8 on July 1?

I thought they have to be on the reserve list at the TDL, but maybe it's different with RFAs?
