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

[cwede]

I doubt Gorton would have made this deal if there was no chance of Trouba signing with us ...

the only reason i disagree here, is that there is maybe no downside -
even if Trouba does the RFA 1-year deal, and NYR think he wont extend w NYR,
near/at '20 TDL, they flip him as a rental, and get back this cost at least....

Here's my question. If teams weren't allowed to talk with Trouba how would they know if he was/was not interested in going there? Winnipeg controlled his rights, so they could have sent him wherever they wanted. Obviously the Rangers deal had to be the best offer on the table.

the rangers definitely wouldn't have asked brady skjei if his buddy was interested in playing in ny cause that would be against the rules

I understand where you're coming from, but one of the two hasn't even played an NHL minute. I hope your right with every ounce of my being, but Panarin is proven...If what you're saying were to come to fruition, I wouldn't mind being in that position TBH...not a bad problem to have...

If this whole thing is going to work it’s going to be on some of these guys panning out. Kakko or Hughes are going to be the best prospect at the time of the draft the Rangers have ever had

 

[GeorgeKaplan]

You also have to remember Hank's contract will be up (as will a few others), going to have a few extra pennies for folks aka K.K or Hughes by that time..

There’s also going to be other guys to pay too, a theme that keeps showing up in the post season is the top heavy teams aren’t winning

 

[Gardner McKay]

He told me even before he left Tampa. He’s been adamant all day telling me he’s not signing here long term.

I guess we will see but I still don't believe it.

Pretty sure you answered your own question in the quote... Rangers are one of the two teams, and that's what they offered. There's no doubt better offers were out there... impossible to think otherwise.

The Rangers deal was the best on the table (in Winnipeg's eyes at least), because other teams probably had the sense that if they were trading for Trouba, it was a one and done situation.

Trouba gonna be the best #8 since Malik

Big shoes to fill.

Yeah I don't either.

Plus Yzerman being hot for the Detroit job isn't exactly recent news. Hes been looked at as the heir apparent for years now.

The Lord says hi.

The Lord says hi.

Darroll Powe is in the mix.

If you put two legitimate public statements together - the one about other teams offering more to Jets and Chevy's refusal to let teams to talk to Trouba about extension - the one logical answer staring you in the face is that Trouba only wanted to be here and not anywhere else. IMHO this is as close to a guarantee that Trouba will be signed here long term.

Darroll Powe is in the mix.

Cody McLeod didn’t not beat up his ex-team mates for nothing here

Big shoes to fill.

For me, he won't fill them until he does a between the legs goal. Doesn't need to happen in a SO. I'm not that fussy.

I'm so ashamed of myself for forgetting McLord our savior.

This article says the Pens had a better offer on the table but Trouba and his camp told the Pens and a couple other teams that he would only sign an RFA deal with the Rangers, and if traded elsewhere he'd wait until the RFA deadline in December before signing.

Penguins were not alone in making a superior offer for Trouba than the Rangers & More Buzz

I don't know how legitimate that site is. Posted from the Winnipeg board which has a screenshot of the whole article in this thread:

Chevy cleared according to Pens insider

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Darren Turcotte best #8 ever

 

[Hire Sather]

So he wants a one year deal first?

Annoying...

What higher end player who doesn't eat a ton of cap space do they have?

I'm calling bullshit on this article.

Huh? That’s not what that says

 

[GordonGecko]

if he knew for sure that we couldn't keep him then no chance they trade a 1st

Of course there's a chance because you can get a better package from a desperate team at the trade deadline

The article is totally fantastical and really strains credulity. Having no clue about the source, however, I thought I'd share.

And that Jets thread is gold.
