Meh. The Laffy situation is made up in Ranger fans heads. He’s got his eyes on this being his team, for good reason. If Igor wants big money he can have fun in Ottawa.
The obvious place for Trouba is Buffalo.
No RHD in top 6.
Veteran leadership void.
Former coach — Ruff
Team that wants to make a splash and make the playoffs.
GM under fire — needs to make playoffs.
One of my few remaining good sources told me Sabres are a dead nuts match for Trouba. He doesn’t know if they are in on him but can’t believe they wouldn’t be.
Watch this closely.

I understand Trouba being butthurt about the situation. I mean he is the captain, loves the city and loves playing for this team, but in all likelihood it's not going to end well for him if he somehow blocks this potential trade. It may get ugly but the team will eventually win.

Has nothing to do with Jones respecting any of his teammates. He can respect his teammates and still feel like the team isn’t operating on merit

That would be the most expensive blueline I've seen in a long time. Could maybe pull Clifton back as a 3RD. Born near the Jersey shore, so he's kind of from the area. Same term, but is probably a moveable contract if they fully would want to get out fom under the 8M total. He's on the smaller side too.
But, there is a match, so long as Buffalo is not on the no trade list.

WAAAAAAA!!!
If we are retaining $ AND buying out Holl, I'd rather just keep Trouba.
Kakko for Veleno does not interest me. All that kid has ever done was score 100 points in an overage season in the Q. Sure he's a left handed center but not really the upside for Kakko. It feels like he's just trading Kakko just because. Throwing Kakko in to ditch Trouba is equally flawed logic and bad asset management.

I would prefer a buyout to him returning to the team with this reaction. Entitled. Drury should waive him if he blocks a fair trade.
If that happens, I hope Krebs would be part of the deal. Cheap 4th liner that has not unlocked his potential. Buy low candidate. Underrated depth piece

If there was some sort of payment to the Red Wings against future considerations, then I could see the NHLPA being upset. That would be circumvention, though technically legal.
If it’s just a waivers pickup, tough f***ing shit for Trouba.

If Trouba is genuinely shocked and disappointed, or whatever Freidman said, then that's all the more reason it needed to be done like this.
He obviously has not played even remotely close to that contract; probably for its entirety. Everybody in that lockerroom should be aware of the consequences of being negative value, not be shocked by them.
If Laf or Shesty want to make sure they get every dollar that they can out of their deals, then that's 100% their right and I would support them in taking as much of Dolan's money as they are able. But that's more to live up to, and expectations will shift accordingly. You have a bigger piece of the pie, you have to earn it on the ice.

As long as there is no actual trade, the league can go pound salt up their ass. It’s perfectly legal within the context of a M-NTC.

Sure it can be made varying degrees of difficult by Trouba and his agent. And if the NYR then waive him without claim and want to equally be dicks, he can ride buses with the Wolfpack… it is far from all in Trouba’s hands where he actually plays come Monday. Drury has the Hartford Atomic Bomb. And if you think the thought of Trouba’s misery riding buses would ruin Drury’s weekend…

And if Trouba is that disingenuous he deserves to ride buses in Hartford after no one claims him off waivers…

I want Trouba gone as much as the next guy, but I’m not angry at him for exercising a right in his contract.

Except there is no actual evidence of any circumvention. It’s perfectly within the contract between the player and team to waive him.

If there is no actual evidence of circumvention then it is not circumvention. They would need evidence that there was any kind of agreement in place between NYR and the claiming team. If no quid pro quo it’s not a “trade,” if it’s not a trade it’s within the contract bounds.

If I were in Jacob's shoes and I didn't want to leave NYC I'd have a discussion with my wife. If she didn't want to leave either and it was alright with her I'd hang up the skates altogether. He's made about $50 mil during his career. He must have a ton of that invested/saved to this or that. He should be sitting on a mountain of gold. She's probably doing pretty well too. He can find something else to do maybe even go back to school. It would be a good f*** you to Drury and a go piss up a rope find somebody else to Yzerman. The best way to deal with employers you're no longer getting along with is if you can afford to tell them to go take a hike. That's what I would do.

Does anyone remember "The Avery Rule"? Still don't understand how Bettman was able to make and enforce this in the middle of the playoffs. If he can get away with that, he can/will come up with something if he thinks Rangers are up to something.

No its not. Thats what a NMC is for.

Waiving someone who is eligible to be waived (ie. No NMC) is not circumvention. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a team doing that per the CBA.
Collaborating with another team prior to doing so to ensure the player is picked up is probably not within the CBA, but even when we did it with Goodrow it went through without impunity.

Using the term circumvention in its rawest form of the definition while arguing over a legal agreement (ie. the league CBA) is extremely misleading and inappropriate.
If it’s not circumvention legally, it’s not the correct term to use in this particular instance.
