Confirmed with Link: Rangers Acquire Jacob Trouba for Neal Pionk and 20th Overall Pick - Part II

[GoAwayPanarin]

Our boy has landed in Vancouver!


edit - wrong thread dammit

There is never a wrong thread for this.

 

[CasusBelli]

Really stoked for this draft — most entertaining since the one at which the Panthers trade for Val Bure. Hopefully our moves will be more successful than that one was.

Can someone explain why even if we held all the cards for Chevy we ended up with a package that was worse when compared to the player we were getting back for Trouba than Fox who we also held all the cards for? Is it difference in GMs?

 

[free0717]

Reminds me of the Gomez deal. Not that Trouba is McDonagh, but in the sense that as soon as the deal went down, it was one of the few times in HF history where the consensus was unanimous that one GM just got taken to the cleaners.

I think Trouba>McDonough

Maybe right now, but Trouba's not a two time All Star. Not a perfect metric for ability, but still.

There was nothing pressing about the Fox situation.

So this is Trouba's first 50p season and the rangers are going to award him with multi year 7m per contract?

Seems like they keep making the same mistakes over and over

And his last 50 pt season most likely.

So hf sources say check in. And the media all say we’re all in but you say no evidence.

I promise you he will be our first phone call.

the canadian media saying we are after a UFA is like saying water is wet they say that we are after everyone

Hot take: he’s not gonna put up 50 points again.

But a good defender that can put up 40 points to boot is absolutely worth 7 mil in this league.

Hotter take: he’s gonna get paid a lot more than 7mil/year.

Depending on his PP time I can see Trouba hitting 50 points again, or being close to it.

Id be surprised, but I hope you’re right! There won’t be anybody standing in his way here.

I liked your post as I find it accurate, yet did not really like the part about him getting a whole lot more than 7M, which I find accurate.

As usual I'm one of the few who could see this not working out as well as is likely being envisioned.

According to the Winnipeg fanbase Trouba is currently "overrated", "not that good anyways", and a "locker room cancer"

Whatever makes people sleep at night!!!

Woah it`s not 1st of July yet!
Panarin or Zucc signing and go for it next season with Kakko!
When did all this happen?

 

[Lion Hound]

Guess we will see how good a deal this really is once the ink hits the paper. I fear his next contract for sure.

$7 mil for him i think is a solid number. $7.5-$7.875 is the high end for the return. If he gets over $8mil, it's same old overpayment story for Dmen on this club. If its North of 8mil, well then that's just a shame.

Right now there are probably three defencemen standing in his way (DeAngelo, Shattenkirk and Fox), two of which are likely to stick around for a while.

 

[Raspewtin]

yeah without PP time Trouba is definitely not hitting 50 points I just find him to be more capable at ES than being led on in this thread.

 

[Ori]

I don`t think K. Shattenkirk spot is too comfortable to be honest next training camp - we have more D prospects than Fox.

 

[ColonialsHockey10]

All three of these guys, unfortunately, are huge question marks.

One just had his breakout year, we’ll see if it holds up.

One is on the downswing and may not last the full season.

One is a rookie.

In reality, Trouba is probably going to get the biggest look of all of them from Quinn to start the year. He will likely be paired with one of the above guys on the first unit.

I agree to that, just I think those 5on5 stats were also influenced by the Jets having so many shooters and goal scorers. Not that he is bad 5on5, just I think there could be dip there depending on what the Rangers do with the forwards from here on out.

7.5M for 7 I find to be an acceptable deal, I don't love it yet I think that is fair.

I'm thinking it's going to be somewhat to much higher than that.

If he was able to supposedly put the Jets in a big trade leverage disadvantage, (not sure I buy that but anyway) if the Rangers decide to not go towards his asks, why would he not be able to put the Rangers in a similar leverage disadvantage? If so it would become, trade him for maybe even less than they traded for him, or sign him to more than they really want to.

There is only one slot open for a right handed D on the top unit with Zibanejad manning the left circle. We'll see who gets it and like last year it might change multiple times during the season.

I think DeAngelo will run away with it, but I can agree it is far from certain.

 

[Zibanejbread]

I'd prefer to keep ADA on PP1 and let Trouba take PP2. I'm not overly concerned with point totals as long as he is a stabilizing d-man at EV and PK.
