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

[bleedgreen]

He definitely could do this but its also a big risk. I would bet hes more likely to do a mix of teams with a few he would be willing to go to. Detroit is home for him, and very close to New York if his wife is going to stay there. If you leave them off your list intentionally theres a chance you end up in Utah or San Jose instead.

Unfortunate for him but its pro sports. If you want to make 8 shmill a year to play hockey its a risk you take. And if your wive's career is so important, you also have the option to retire and support her.

He would definitely imrove Detroits D. Some people in this thread forget his pairing played the hardest minutes on the Presidents trophy winning team this year and almost 22 mins a night.

I like the deal for Detroit if there’s retention without giving up a good young asset. I agree leaving a Detroit on may be the best choice for him to accept.

Can either be retention or sending back a player. Be it a Matta, Petry, Holl or someone to help offset the cap charge of $8 mill.
Trouba can be traded as his NMC goes to only a MNTC.

 

[Go Wings]

Friedman said Trouba really doesn’t want to leave New York and he heard he might strategically put teams he’s rumoured/believed to be traded to on his NTC on Monday. Lmao

That would be excellent news hopefully he puts Detroit on that list.

Trouba saving Yzerman from himself

 

[Axel Sandy Pelikan]

The way NYR fans have gone psycho over speculation by a reporter and an agent that’s not even Trouba’s agent, is insane.

Neither Trouba NOR his agent have said anything of the sort.

Detroit hasn’t agreed to a trade. Trouba hasn’t been approached to waive his NMC, unless that’s changed in the last couple of hours..

This is completely crazy how things get taken out of context because people don’t pay attention.

Rangers fans hate Trouba and want him gone. Any roadblock to that upsets them.
Many Red Wings fans (not me, but I'm weird I guess) don't want him either, so they're clinging to hope that this will stop the wheels on acquiring him.

Basically there are a lot of people who just think he's garbage and either are upset that the Rangers are getting a "get out of jail free" card if he is dealt and stories say he's using his contractual right to block it or are so apoplectic that they might have to keep their captain on their roster making 8M per year when it looked like they could be rid of him.

 

[Tatar Shots]

I know it is a business, but at what point do other teams avoid Trouba because of his situation? He can use his NTC to block most, if not all interested teams. If you get past that hurdle do you really want to add a guy who is pissed to be there and distracted from leaving his wife and baby behind? What sort of player and teammate would you be adding to the locker room?

 

[gump116]

Out of curiosity, what kind of contract would Trouba get if he were a UFA this year? His play isn’t at their level, but his reputation is probably around the same tier as guys like Roy, Tanev, and Walker as RHD.

Any other prospect you'd part with?

The 1st is non-negotiable imo.

Detroit holds all the power in these negotiations. Assuming there are even negotiations. They can be sitting there saying retain 30% and take Holl, or saying they want Kakko included, or a 1st Rounder as well as retention.

Detroit’s in no hurry unlike the Rangers.

My bad, I meant Wallinder.

I still wouldn't do that if you got him down to a $2m salary.

Theres no way Trouba is getting positive value back lol, let alone a 1st

Seriously? Isn’t this being driven by the Rangers? If you need out of that contract I wouldn’t think you’re getting a first. Retain a million or two and say thank you for taking him.

He’s not, no chance he even gets anything back but salary dumps. His trade proposal is laughable

No. You don’t have leverage. NYR are looking to dump, Detroit is not pressing for Trouba.

Trouba down to 4m and you take Holl… maybe you get a top 15 protected first

 

[lakeshirts37]

Good I’d rather just go get Roy instead

detroit isnt signing roy

True.


But who is going to claim him with that contract? I think a trade with retention is a far more likely outcome, but the medical residency does complicate things.

Maybe no one but then he can enjoy beautiful Hartford

This is correct. The Rangers have in all likelihood already spent the freed up cap space in the conversations leading up to July 1. They need to get a deal done and the clock keeps ticking. Negotiations always go well when you are in a hurry and badly need the money.

I've read all your posts in this thread and I am replying one final time to tell you I have no interest in your opinion on the Detroit Red Wings. Your views are embarrassing and outdated, you move the goal posts, and you are condescending. I will not waste my time replying to you again.

My views are embarrassing because I didn’t call out prospects “home runs” who didn’t play a game yet in the NHL just because they were dragged by Anderson?

Yikes.

 

[Baby Punisher]

Then he either faces a team picking him up on waivers that is a less preferred destination. Or if he clears, Drury can make him ride the bus in Hartford redden style until a deal for both parties is agreed upon.
NYR can also put him on re-entry waivers at that point, and a team might try to grab him a bit cheaper….
Whether Trouba likes it or not, his NMC changes to an MNTC by the 1st.
Time is running out on his Cinderella story….

Trouba isn't going to Hartford.
1. You can't bury payroll in the AHL anymore. It's unofficially called the "Redden" Rule.
2. He will be playing on tye Rangers roster in a 3rd pair situation. Not ideal money wise. This notion Trouba can't play anymore is dumb.
