I don't think it's a bad deal. It just makes me really love the Dumba deal. Better player and lower cap hit, but also signed for shorter.

Alot for a good #3
I don't know that seems like a lot of money for a guy that presumably only wanted to play in NY. Add in the fact that the Rangers had to give up a 1st and Pionk just to get him, not sure this was even a good move in a vacuum, let alone when you consider the Rangers have a ton of deadweight still on their back end they need to unload.
You should hope you never see him in a Jets jersey. He really is that bad.
I also think all those mocking the deal need to consider the cost of living and tax implications of working and living in NYC.
Trouba clears far less than he would playing for nearly every other NHL club.
The Rangers have quite a few players that willingly took less to play in NY.
Insanely.
Not just slightly.
Literally insane.
I would take Trouba on my team easily over Morrissey.

Let's make a poll on this and see what people believe in general.
Trouba has outscored Morrissey his entire career. He was also relied more heavily than Morrissey in the playoffs against the cup champions by more than 2 full minutes (2:17m). In the season Trouba was used, on average, 29 seconds more per game. Seems like your coach agrees with me.Go nuts.
Top pair? noHe's a 25 year old top pairing d-man. Hate to break it to you, but with salaries going up this is the new norm. lol
That's precisely what he isSecond pairing defenseman.
hahahahaha, did you legit just call Trouba a top 10-15 D? TROUBA?He's a #1, and more towards the top end if #1 D-men then the low end.
I feel like you're insecure and every fan says this about their teamI feel like whatever highly coveted player gets traded to/signs with NYR automatically becomes “overrated”.
Provorov is significantly better than Trouba, doubt he goes for less.I wonder what this means for Provorov. Obviously a ceiling. Hopefully in the 6s for 6 years.
How is NY over the Cap? I know Panarin but they haven’t even played a game since their rebuild ended.
A late first.
Pionk was really, really bad.
Trouba is a legit 2nd to top pair D man at 25.
5 or 6 prime years left. If a team could get 3 guys of Trouba's quality and age for nothing more than a late 1sts and ****ty dmen, they'd gladly sacrifice 3 late firsts and 3 ****ty dmen without hesitation.
Every year we see sure things in the top 5 picks of the entire draft turn into duds who can't even make the league. Even if you had the 4th overall pick 3 years in the row, the odds of landing 3 guys of Troubas quality is astronomically low. You'd be batting about average if you could land one guy who is at least as good as Trouba. So I am baffled that anyone who follows hockey with regularity would think that a pick this late in the first is too valuable for a guy as good as Trouba.
A decade ago a guy like this gets 5-6 M. The cap keeps going up. Now these kinds of guys get 7-9.
It was a fantastic move by any reasonable metric. Namest, Belesky, Smith and Strome can all easily be traded away. Especially Namestnikov and Strome. If they have any trouble signing guys it'd be a surprise.

Trouba is a much better player than Dumba.I don't think it's a bad deal. It just makes me really love the Dumba deal. Better player and lower cap hit, but also signed for shorter.
Trouba is l better that Provorov in all phases of the game. Provorov is younger and may reach Trouba's level some day, but he Trouba is a much better player right nowProvorov is significantly better than Trouba, doubt he goes for less.
He plays against the other teams best players, he's near the top on the NHL in 5v5 scoring rates over the past 3 years and is one of the better defenders in the NHL and has good PP numbers in spite of relatively limited opportunity with the Jets top unit. There are maybe 3-5 other D-men in the NHL you can say these things about.hahahahaha, did you legit just call Trouba a top 10-15 D? TROUBA?
Maybe group your stuff together? There was no need for 5 post in a row. Especially where none of your responses contributed to anything.I feel like you're insecure and every fan says this about their team
in all honesty, pretty much expected... by IMO he's over rated
Lower tier 1st paring, higher tier 2nd paring
