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

[bigdog16]

If the rangers are retaining 2.5M and taking back a cap dump I don’t see how Detroit loses this deal. Trouba isn’t as good as he used to be and his gap control might be the worst in the league for a top-4 D, but he’s still serviceable.

Rangers have been pretty outspoken about clearing space. Not sure there is much cap going back to the Rangers

Once upon a time the kings had the #1 prospect pool. Rankings don't mean anything and until they become "home runs" in the NHL, saying it doesn't make it so.

Copp for trouba retained sure

 

[NYRKing]

i missed the part where i said 'nhl' ???????? as is its obvious i meant ' to date '

I’ll guess Trouba $1.5 retained for holl

 

[gump116]

Seider, Trouba, Edvinsson, Chiarot, Maatta, Petry, etc... lot of size there.

Though I wonder if Chiarot or Holl go back the other way for cap purposes.

So basically the Yzerplan doesn't exist and he's just doing random shit

Wings have so many bad contracts to choose from to try send back for Trouba. What is Yzerman doing?

 

[Empoleon8771]

I don’t know why so many people here are assuming the Wings won’t be paying positive value for Trouba. I figure he’s at least bringing back Detroit’s 2nd.

 

[NotNotALeafsFan]

I think Holl being involved just makes too much sense.

Edvinsson - Seider
Maatta - Trouba
Johansson / Petry / Chiarot
injury callup = Wallinder

This looks like an improvement to me.

Maatta and Petry leave next summer.
Trouba and Chiarot leave the summer after that.
Seider Edvinsson Johansson stay for forseeable future.
They are joined soon by Wallinder, Buium and Sandin-Pelikka.

It just.... looks right. To me.
Whatever that's worth. Basically nothing.

Can you please give me a run down of Wallinder and what he’s projected to be?

 

[Jag68Sid87]

I assume the NYR have interest in Elmer Soderblom.

Pages of Yzerman scorn because of Larry Brooks. Larry Brooks.

Let’s just take some time and see what’s actually going on here people.

People hate Trouba, I understand that given his physical nature. The fact remains he is an upgrade and despite the hand ringing did play a big role on the President Trophy winning team. What is Yzerman doing to the people in this thread, ummm... Improving his team every year while also improving the organizational depth from prospects to the minors to the NHL team. That's actually his job and there is no magic bullet to speed this process up.

Trouba with retention would be a big add to what we want to be and it is clear Yzerman doesn't want to take a step backwards. I think he can help bring Edvinsson along and is an ideal partner. That it didn't end well on a broken ankle in New York I understand. I think this is a great move for Detroit, he can play over 20 minutes a night and is a lot better in the 2nd pairing role than Petry.

Brooks isnt as plugged as he used to be but theres very obvious smoke

Him throwing out exact numbers like 2.5M shows he has legit info on this one.

I just posted this on the Rangers and Wings board.

My best guess is Trouba for a 2025 second and prospect Elmer Soderblom. A big center who has shown he can play in the NHL but was injured with concussions and never really got going when he was sent back to Grand Rapids.

Change of scenery and someone who can add size to the bottom six if he works out, but who may remain a solid AHL lifer.

Likely 2nd or 3rd pairing d-man. Great size, great skating, improving shot. At a bare minimum should be a good shutdown defender.

Soderblom is a winger, not a center.

Soderblom is a winger, not a center.

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

 

[Turin]

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

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

At this point does anyone have an idea of WTF Yzerman is doing?

This offseason for Wings as of now is looking set to take team back a step

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

[Zarzh]

The fall from grace of Yzermen is crazy. Basically considered the best GM in the league 6 years ago and now he looks like an awful GM constantly targeting trash players.

He always did, look at his draft history. People thought he was a genius for picking 2 guys who scored a f***ton in their draft years who fell to him.

 

[Empoleon8771]

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.
