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

[Run the Jewels]

if this happens the Rangers finally stop being pretenders and Stevie Y moves firmly into guy who lost the plot territory.

Detroit is being built to succeed at playoff hockey and the core will mostly be in place by the 2025-26 season. By all means get your shots in now, but they will not age well.

The proposal I made earlier in the thread breaks down like this:

24/25 - NYR open $3.9250m in cap space (minus replacement 3RD cap hit)
25/26 - NYR open $6.3000m in cap space (minus replacement 3RD cap hit)
26/27 - Trouba contract is finished. Husso + Holl retention is finished.

It only cost a 5th round pick, and brought back two 7th rounders.

NYR is trying to be a cup contender. They need the cap space. I think it's worth it, and I don't think it's pointless at all. The only good argument I can see against it is if you truly think Trouba is worth getting actual value back for in a trade (not just cap space), and you don't like that this doesn't provide that.

How about we simplify this

Trouba at 5.5 for Detroit is fair value to them

Rangers eat 2.5 to get it done . Don’t expect much back if anything .

That’s the deal … the end

the SJ moves are seperate
Rangers owe the sharks an overpayment

 

[Tawnos]

If Detroit was including Holl in the deal, I don't think that the Rangers would be retaining any notable amount of money on Trouba. If he'd waive his NTC, I think Petry and Detroit's 2nd for Trouba at $6 million would be my bet for what the deal ends up looking like.

The whole point for the Rangers is to clear cap space. Petry isn’t going to be part of the deal.

Yzerman has assembled a great collection of young talent but the veterans he continues to acquire and the use of cap space leaves me shaking my head.

Ghost, Chiarot, Holl, Compher, Copp, Petry, now maybe Trouba. Soo much cap space just lit on fire.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Has Bern weighed in here. Perfect opportunity.

Not if they bringing in Trouba, who was NYs biggest playoff liability three years in a row.

 

[Jag68Sid87]

Got it, the classic "every forward is also a center" on Cap Friendly.

I blame Washington.

 

[Run the Jewels]

Yes, continue to chase the next shiny new object; it's worked so well for the Rangers in the past. You'll get more cap space, piss it away, then run that once shiny new object out of town. Wash, rinse, repeat.

 

[McSuper]

Hey Mr Yzerman. We have a deal for you. 1 slightly use Nurse. We can retain 2.25 and take 1 cap dump. You know you want to do it.

 

[Taswell]

Meh was hoping he'd end up out west. Tired of seeing him

 

[Tatar Shots]

Has Bern weighed in here. Perfect opportunity.

Waiting for the elaborate deal that has Seider and Raymond going back to the Rangers

 

[periferal]

Yzerman is going to sink that franchise good grief

You really have to ask what Yzerman is doing. Is it him? Maybe ownership forcing his hand? WTF is going on?

And we have to ask this is light of the unbelievable success he had with the Lightning. Maybe that wasn't really him?

 

[Boud]

So did the wings trade a 2nd rounder and Walman to create cap space for Trouba? Or just to open a spot for Trouba?

I mean Walman is probably just as good as Trouba and costs way more.

 

[periferal]

And yet another GM rushes to bail the Rags out of a bad contract.

100%. WTF happens behind the scenes that this continues to happen?

1. Bum ankle.
2. 3rd most mins on defense for a Presidents trophy winning team.
3. Mo Seider or Jacob Trouba on the ice for 2/3 of every game. Yes, please go for that puck in the corner, I'm sure it will work out well for you.

I welcome this.

Let’s go

Yzerman went from a great GM with Tampa to clueless with Detroit...

 

[Rabid Ranger]

I think Trouba was exposed a bit in New York, but he's still a top four d-man on the right team. He's never going to change his style of play though, which gets the masses riled up here. Probably not as much hand wringing in NHL circles.

 

[Xirik]

Well Little Caesars Pizza needs a Chicken Wing side to make it palatable.

No ill will towards Jake. I'll root for him in the 313.

But he was bad and a liability for NY with his play on the ice as time went on. Maybe the wheels aren't fully off with him, maybe he can be salvaged on another team in a fresh start.

I hope DET values him like you do, shed most of his full cap hit and not take a bad one back.

1. Hes been bad for 3 years
2. Uhh ok? The rest of the Rangers team was really good?
3. If Trouba is in your top 4 you legit have zero chance at making the playoffs. The guy would be lucky to be a bottom pair AHLer at this point. I would love him to be in the corners against us because he will likely get spun in circles and not know where he is, resulting in a likely goal against. Believe me, seen it way too many times

So we managed to win the President's award with Trouba in our top-4 (most of the season), but Detroit won't sniff the playoffs?

You may not like Trouba, and that's fine, but suggesting he's a bottom pairing AHL dmen is impossibly foolish.
