What would the return be?

Only realistic (maybe?) option I see on their roster that is intriguing is Sprong (RW).

Edit: nevermind, he appears to be a free agent.

Future considerations would be my guess. Pure cap dump

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Wow, that would be amazing.

 

[Boom Quack]

I don't get how this would come out now unless they made the deal already and are just waiting for some date to actually execute

I wouldn’t think so. Maybe if they aren’t retaining anything. Otherwise they could clear the whole contract by waiving him. SOMEONE would take him for free.

 

[NYR Viper]

If Drury is retaining there better be pieces coming back

They don't have to wait if Trouba waives NMC.....if not, he's probably agreed not to put Detroit on his NTC list.

 

[Synergy27]

Man, this is exciting. It’s going to happen.

Now we brace ourselves for the return. If we are retaining I want something of value back. Not Holl. Maybe Copp.

Ew. The copp contract is BRUTAL. I want future considerations back. Clearing the space is enough for me

 

[NickyFotiu]

Could have sworn I read right here on HF it was impossible to trade Trouba. Also impossible to move Goodys contract. I guess the impossible isn't so impossible anymore.

 

[McRanger92]

Detroits 2nd this year and 1st next year for a 2.5m retained Trouba makes sense to me

LOL this board is funny. We went from Trouba isn't tradable to wanting a 2nd and a 1st? That would be incredible but Stevie Y isn't going to consider the 1st imo.

 

[djzbad]

I’m gonna guess we see this made official pretty soon cause I would expect a 2nd rounder to be in play but we’ll see, maybe it’s really not till Monday

Every writer has said he has value and the rangers are retaining over 2 seasons. Other teams see him as an asset for the sane reason we did once upon a time

“Future considerations”

 

[MrAlmost]

I still think the better move is trading Lindgren and keeping Trouba. And if the room is so fragile and tunes out the coach already, even more of a problem getting rid of one of the few who didn't. We will see. I'd bet he will be good in Detroit.

 

[eco's bones]

I'm pretty sure the Red Wings have in mind to lock Moritz Seider up......possibly even lock Lucas Raymond up. They've got 12 guys signed and $32 mil to work with but if they're going to take on $5.5 of Jacob's contract and give Seider $7.5-8 and Raymond $6 a lot of that cap space is gone and they still have several holes to fill. So expect the Red Wings to send something back if they do a deal here with the Rangers. They might want to move someone like $4 mil Robby Fabbri who's a little pricey for 32 points or one of their D and I wouldn't be surprised if we get a draft pick or two.

Trouba at $5.5 is not bad. That's probably where he should have been in terms of his cap hit. The Red Wings aren't looking to add him to do us a favor. They're not our farm team. If they're serious about Jacob it's because they think he can help them make the next step to the playoffs. That will cost them something and rightly cost them something. Sending him there for free just because you think he sucks is overreaction.

“Future considerations”

I agree with you. I have always said coaches around the league would want Trouba. I don't think a first and second is going to happen but Troyba does have value.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Man, this is exciting. It’s going to happen.

Now we brace ourselves for the return. If we are retaining I want something of value back. Not Holl. Maybe Copp.

I wouldn't want Copp or Holl, but I would want something of value for retaining.

 

[djzbad]

Wasn’t this always the plan anyway? I never thought he’d finish out the contract with us, pretty sure lots of speculation was he would be good for a few years and then moved with Detroit being the most speculated team at the time

I look at them as apples and oranges since they play opposite sides but Im okay moving Lindy. Id actually like to keep Trouba as a bottom pairing Dman if he wasn't making $8mill

You're getting Holl, Detroit still has 7 defensemen.

Schneider moves up to 2RD. Holl fills a roll.

Just the way it is.

 

[CasusBelli]

Throw in Igor and Kakko, and get back Seider, Raymond and Larkin. A guy can dream …

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Just the way it is.

Why are we eating salary if we are taking on Holl? I'd be fine with Holl with no retention on Trouba. I fail to see how Holl is essentially a $5.9M defenseman (which is his salary + the rumored $2.5M retention).

If we’re taking Holl there will be no salary retained
