So, with Gus back and Jones out....wouldn't it be wise to put him with Trouba and let Miller Schneider play together? Trouba can get his extra mins on the pk. I don't understand why this is so hard. Should never have given him the C if its gonna interfere with placing him in the teams best interest.
Both were team captains and were traded
NYR captains are far from being a no-go via trades.
In troubas case, it’s pretty obvious NYR will not be extending him after this deal anyway, especially with raises to Schneider/laf/miller etc. and Schneider being ready to take his role in the top 4.
The writing is pretty much on the wall for Trouba tbh, it’s not if but when and he hasn’t done himself any favors this year with his play besides a few good weeks here and there.
it’s entirely possible they want to keep him for 1 more season….. but if org is seeing what the rest of us are I’d more him this offseason.
Cally if I remembered correctly was offered 6mill per on multi-year deal.
He wanted 6.5-7….
After he was traded, he signed for a bit less with TB but because of the state tax it turned out to be a little more then NY was offering in actual $$…..

dunno how others feel,
but I'd see benefits 2 ways
in sending Rempe back to Hfd to play more
and bringing up guys who offer different kind of depth up for a few games each,
whether they play or not guys like Belzile, Othmann, Berard
feel more a part of it, for when they might get recalled in playoffs

Good call, looks like he went to SJS and is reporting immediately to the NHL.

He has a 15-team NTC next season and 12-team NTC the final year of his deal. Starting July 1, he can only block 15 teams. I'm assuming all the Canadian teams will be included in that 15. He can still be traded to 16 teams. If you assume that an in-division trade won't happen, and he hasn't put them on his list, that still leaves 9 teams he can't block a trade to next season. 12 the following season.

I'm sure for $8m a year his wife can take a career pause for 2-3 seasons while he plays elsewhere. Or she can work here and take a private jet out to Detroit on weekends. Whatever.
His wife's employment is of zero concern to the Rangers. He has a 15 team list and unless he wants to be miserable in his own career it should be in his best interest to go to one of them.

i thought this too but someone clarified: we used to get the drafted unsigned NCAA players, not undrafted.

Helped when the team had less depth since that player would feel like they have a legit shot at NHL time soon.
Graf going to San Jose says more about where they are. He knows he's going to get big minutes if he produces. Not many players in his way.

Can't blame a guy for making a business decision. I don't think it says anything about his work ethic.

He wants the shortest path to UFA where he can sign a bigger contract. The Rangers weren't going to burn a year like a bottom feeder would.

Feeling it
I dont know where shes working but i know that when they came the timing was right.
They wanted a big city where she could get her residency. They last 3-7 years depending on the speciality. Its already been 4-5 years so shes likely set and can transfer to another city hospital and probably make out since shes got Manhattan on her resume.
His list likely reflects that, if they were smart - Outside of some Canadian cities that wouldnt be on there anyway most NHL teams are located in a big metropolis with multiple major hospitals. Or maybe she could open her own practice. Who knows. But yeah, it shouldnt have any bearing.

He's also... (whispers)
not... actually all that good?
He's the kind of player who will have to make the NHL in a top 9 role to stick, unlike a guy like Aston-Reese, which hurts his chances.
Realistically has we signed him he should still be outside of our top 10 on our prospects ranking list.
Not sure bout that. They’ve done this before and it was the cost of doing business here.

He's always stated that they are a partnership and neither's career is a priority over the other's. A no vote for one is a no vote for both.
100% agree. There are residual effects of doing this consistently over time, however. It's going to cost them the ability to sign or even trade for certain players because of their history of jettisoning captains and players in the middle of their deals.
Not saying they shouldn't look to move Trouba but there is a cost.
I actually think it was higher than that. I think he wanted term x 7.5M
You’re probably right…. I just remember him wanting 6.5 or 7.5 per year… there was def a .5 that NYR wasn’t offering…
Then he signed with Tampa for 5.8 or 6.8????
I’m just going off of memory…., could be wrong

Might be more complicated with the Rangers cap situation. Can't have someone on the roster that isn't ready to play at the level the Rangers are when they have zero cap space.
I’ll believe this is a real issue when it actually starts to come back to bite Vegas in the ass ever.
