Speculation: NYR & DET working on Jacob Trouba trade (Brooks)

Everyone you just listed outside of Seider/Ray is a complete unknown.
How you can say he “hit home runs” on guys who have either not established themselves or even played NHL games yet is beyond me
It wasn’t long ago we thought we have a stacked D prospect pool with Sproul, Ouellette, Kindl and Smith…

Uhhh. If you don’t think Trouba is better than Petry/Holl I doubt your hockey knowledge. Detroit badly needs someone on the right side that can take even 5-10% of Seider’s absolutely brutal matchups. Trouba is overpaid but he’s better defensively than Gostisbehere.

If Rangers retains and perhaps Red Wings can get rid of a bad contract. It could perhaps be an alright deal.
Don't love the player but eh lets see what happens.

Make Detroit Great Again
All of those guys listed below were drafted by Ken Holland. Big difference between letting Hakan Anderson run your draft and Ken Holland relying on his North American scouts.

Sticking with my prediction from before:
Husso + Holl (and a pick? or no?)
for
Trouba
NYR can retain 50% on Holl and ship him to Anaheim for a 7th rounder
Husso, the Rangers either buy him out or try to cap dump him somewhere for as tiny of a cost as possible. That may or may not include 50% retaining.
EDIT - If NYR are retaining on Trouba, and 30-ish percent, then maybe they're only getting Holl and a draft pick back, and not Husso. The draft pick could actually be half-decent too. 2nd rounder? 3rd rounder? If Detroit is high on Trouba's intangibles, physicality, experience / leadership, etc.

Oh boy, I remember the old days on this forum and numerous people were convinced Brendan Smith was going to be the 1D of the future for the wings. It was his college or AHL days, definitely before his pro career. I’ve never been so mislead.

i'm a little surprised reading this post that you didn't just toss MBN in as a "home run" too
I mean....might as well right?

So basically the Yzerplan doesn't exist and he's just doing random shit
Well at least he's bringing back violence to the Motor City...Circa 80s...We old time Detroit fans have such fond memories.
We're hoping Holl would be the odd man out.
Debrincat publicly stated I will only sign and play for Detroit...while a great trade...it fell into SYs lsp

Yeah, they have Shesterkin and Quick. The idea is "Trouba has regressed to a 3rd pair defenseman who one could argue is a pylon. He makes $8.0m cap hit for 2 years. We're sending you two cap dump bad contracts with no prospects and MAYBE a draft pick for doing you the favour of taking on Trouba's terrible contract and cap hit".
NYR aren't looking at Husso as a goalie. He's just a negative value contract that they need to take on in order to get rid of Trouba. Then, they quickly move onto the next step, which is "how do we get rid of Husso?". That problem is way easier to solve than "how do we get rid of Trouba?". It's a one year deal for $4.75m. Just buy him out or pay a team a draft pick to take the contract. If you retain 50% on Husso, you can probably do Husso + 5th for a 7th rounder. That's not particularly painful.
OUT - Trouba and 5th rounder
IN - 7th rounder and 7th rounder and MAYBE a pick from DET
NOTE - retaining 50% on Holl (2 years) and 50% on Husso (1 year)

Yes, do this and leave Matt Roy for the rest of us
Not to mention, if Brooks is posting that article at 4:30am it must be fairly close to being finalized
Ohhh I am so ready!
Ready to see a special delivery - Trouba elbow to Brady's noggin when we face Ottawa.

Really saying a lot there, a cardboard cutout of Scott Stevens would be better defensively than him

Yeah which is why we really need someone better to solidify our 2nd pairing defensively.
