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

[Synergy27]

Seider and Trouba as their 1-2 RHD would be a heck of an imposing thing.

Yeah. This right here. Keep this thinking up.

 

[biturbo19]

Yeah. This right here. Keep this thinking up.

Quite literally though, it's not something i'd want to play against.

And i think a lot of people are overlooking how much of a difference that would potentially make for dumping off some of those insanely tough minutes Seider played, on a guy like Trouba...who has mostly handled those minutes in New York while Fox gets all the credit.

I have no idea why people are freaking out about Yzerman here. Trouba only has two years left, if he’s retained it does very little damage to their cap. I think Trouba no longer playing as a captain and just another guy on a second pairing probably simplifies and maybe calms down a bit. Solidifying their defense while presumably helping a younger guy adjust. They only missed the playoffs by a point?

This makes sense for the Wings. If it’s retained and they give up no big young asset for it, this is an obvious move for them.

the problem is Trouba himself is more than likely irate by this, he wants to stay in NY to captain this team and I respect it as a Rangers fan but NYR management is looking to actually reshape the defensive core now and the drama surrounding him might not be good for the Rangers these next 2 years.

People forget but Trouba was a Gorton acquisition/signing, Drury's been probably looking to rid Trouba for the past 3 years now. Are DET fans 100% certain they want a grumpy asset like Trouba on their blue-line for 2 straight years?

Apparently Trouba isn’t too keen on going to Detroit after all. If he won’t waive for Detroit I’d run away from this deal as fast as possible if I was Yzerman. Last thing you need on the team is a guy who doesn’t want to be there.

Always seemed like Trouba was trying to make things work best for his wife, and I thought NY had a big role in that. He may be fine with playing in Detroit but that may make his family life difficult. Wouldn’t be the first time.

yeah his wife most likely doesn't want to go to DET and had plans on staying where they are for the full 8 years. Should've never been signed for the 8 years in the first place though. A Jeff Gorton classic.

 

[HoweFan]

They have been talking this up all day. I wonder what the holdup is

 

[ElysiumAB]

wonderful how fools rip yzerman whom just hit home runs with seider-raymond-danielsson-asp-cossa-kasper-edvinsson-etc after taking over weakest depth chart in nhl .

The worst sentence ever constructed.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Trouba (30% retained) + 1st round ‘25
For
Future considerations

Seems about right to get this one done.

lol

2 years of Trouba @ 5.6 doesn't cost the Rangers a 1st to move.....it would be closer to costing DET a 1st (keyword closer)

This is HFBs, I've seen much worse.

Trouba simply cannot play top 4 minutes on any team expecting to push for playoffs. There was a stretch in playoffs where he was on the ice for something like 10 straight goals against. He was fine a couple years ago but it seems that his whole persona changed when he started throwing big hits, and now its all he wants to do.

Edvinsson and Seider won’t be playing together. They will likely be the two pair carrying Dmen for the next ten years. Trouba will either play on the second pairing with Edvinsson, as a supporting Dman, or play on the 3rd pairing.

If they do acquire Trouba, it increases the likelihood Petry is bought out. If only to gain a roster spot. They only save about a million. They will have added Trouba to play the role he’s really good at playing, basically for the salary of Walman and Petry. That’s a big win. Trouba won’t be asked to carry the weight he had been in NY. Seider is still getting those minutes and with Edvinsson carrying the 2nd pairing, it allows Trouba to be very productive.

I can envision Petry retiring. I'm sure he'll get a job in the org.

Local and all.

Trouba has full NTC and is threatening to put Detroit on his 15-team list, forcing Drury to find a new team to deal him to.

Do you have a source to backup that comment?

Of course he doesn’t, it’s made up nonsense.

 

[The Flying Octopus]

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

major troll job

The Athletic article stated it

I wish he worked out for us!!

Can you screenshot the snippet?

 

[Profet]

The Athletic article stated it

1) you ninja edited your post... To be less blatantly wrong.
2) you're still blatantly wrong.
3) the athletic article says no such thing.

The article says that Trouba could do such a thing. It does NOT state that Trouba or his team is doing anything of the sort.

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Bit weird to get into this but his wife fully entrenched in her career as a doctor? I remember when he came to NY originally she was still working her way through med school but I didn't keep up with that part of Trouba's story because I assume the contract wouldn't be this big of a deal and he'd see it through lol

I clarified because I knew it sounded too strict and wanted to be honest. And the article said that overhardt could, so it did say such a thing. That NYR would have to deal with another team if that happened is just basic extrapolation.

Most of them still be decaguard.

Please never take his opinion as a reflection of the Wings fanbase

There’s a lot of bias running around in this thread….
Trouba was bad for the rangers in the playoffs. Probably the worst I’ve seen him play in his career.
He was also playing on a broken ankle with a piece of bone floating around.
He’s not the most fleet of foot to begin with. That didn’t help.

He is absolutely still a top 4 D on many teams. He blocks a lot of shots, will be a staple on Det PK, and is a solid leader in the lockeroom.
He also has a solid first pass out of the zone. He doesn’t average 30 pts a season with no PP time by accident. I would keep him away from the PP as well at this stage.
He’s a throwback open ice hitter. Other teams need to keep their heads up coming over the blue line when he’s on the ice.
Doesn’t really police the net from or down low like he should with his frame. I think Lindgren does a better job than him of that, and he’s a smaller guy.
A healthy Jake is still a good asset to have on your team if you can afford the cap hit for 2 seasons.
He should be deployed on your middle/bottom pair. He’ll give you 20 min a night with a solid partner.
He is prone to taking penalties and the occasionally dumb play, like many D-men.
It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if teams start calling DRws looking to add Trouba to their team either this TDL or next…..
Short term, if you have the cap space, he’s an attribute to a team that’s up and coming.
