Larry Brooks: Rangers/Red Wings Trouba Talks Heating up, NYR would retain $2.5

[Lion Hound]

Trouba probably doesn’t have Detroit on his list so I don’t know if that is the case.

I would think they are on his list.
1) He is from there
2) Friends on the team. Copp is supposedly one of his best buddies.
3) Family in the area

Only places I would assume are off Trouba's list are the Canadian teams. His wife can't practice medicine in Canada.

 

[bhamill]

I think the idea is more of what it would take to shed a bad contract without taking one back.

But DET WANTS Trouba, this isn’t us JUST dumping salary and DET helping us out. That’s part of what I mean by saying Hayes is nothing like Trouba. At 3.75mil hit, like Hayes is, we’d just play him on the third pair… apples and oranges.

Not sure why anybody thinks Trouba is returning a 1st round pick.

Its a NO trade list. The list is teams he WONT go to, not teams he WILL.

For real. A second and a fringe prospect like Soberblom is max value.

Drury actually adding onto the trade with garlic knots and a pizza pie.

 

[bhamill]

Nothing other than pure speculation on my part, but I have significant doubts this deal even happens. I feel like it would've gone down already based on the rumors.

I just assume it’ll be Monday if it happens.

Garlic knots? Going to need a Bridges-to-the-Knicks type haul for that.

Plus it's Canada

Probably woulda happened today if Detroits guy wasn't at their 2nd round pick.

Me if the Rangers trade Trouba then give Lindgren a long term extension:

who was he screaming at here? the rangers bench?

 

[CasusBelli]

If the rangers retain and take back a contract they better be getting a 1st. Otherwise that’s not even worth it at that point. You would be clearing out 2M in cap space.

And it’ll likely be a late first valued as a mid first. Detroit is likely a playoff team next year, but the draft pick value won’t reflect that until the trade deadline, so it’s still valued as a mid-rounder.

 

[Machinehead]

If we're going to do this just to give Lindgren an extension, don't.

 

[will1066]

who was he screaming at here? the rangers bench?

Yes

 

[Vitto79]

If we're going to do this just to give Lindgren an extension, don't.

He’s getting it regardless

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

There’s only so much of my weekend I want to spend refreshing this page. Just make the trade already.

Monday afternoon when you're in a Zoom meeting. Book it!

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Is he really going the Kane route again after finally opening space?

I mean really?

Jacob Trouba getting traded

 

[TominNC]

I find it so funny how half of you no matter what comes out and is being said, who refuse to believe trouba is moving and believe we are going to get crap back while retaining. How bout you wait and see, bc it’s becoming more and more likely apthat he is gone and that it’s a solid trade bc we aren’t going to take on salary while retaining. Some of you are too funny with your takes if we are going to take on more salary when drury wants to shed it. Take a breather and come back later today

Because the negatives have to believe the Rangers always fail.

Its more because there really isn't much on the Detroit roster that they would trade thats beneficial for the Rangers. Add to that with retaining for next year when they need the cap and it doesn't seem like a good fit unless they somehow get a 1st out of the deal which would be shocking.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

So this isn't happening now, or it was pure click bait from the start.

 

[Crease]

Trouba’s buyout cost is 4M 4M 2M 2M.

Trading him at 50% retained costs 4M 4M.

Trading him at 25% retained costs 2M 2M.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

Free agency starts Monday. If Trouba isn't traded today or tomorrow then he's not getting traded. All the top free agents will be gone Monday. Drury needs the cap space to sign any of them.

 

[AirGut]

would have to imagine some of the holdup is Yzerman probably pushing for Drury to retain more than $2.5M
