Expected Jacob Trouba trade could have Patrick Kane ramifications

The Post has learned that Patrick Kane was still in talks Saturday with Detroit.

Edit: this is my only cope left

 

[Go Rangers]

I don't think we're hunting for big game. Not that big, anyway.

Kane and Stamkos is typical rangers.

 

[RangersFan1994]

Kane and Stamkos is typical rangers.

And this helps us beat the Panthers by having more soft finesse. Stamkos has some bite but gets hurt too much

 

[MrAlmost]

If we sign Igor for 13 million I'm buying a Utah jersey...

 

[GAGLine]

Kane and Stamkos is typical rangers.

The salary cap says otherwise.

Not happening but he’s getting 11 min

 

[Clark Kellogg]

First Goodrow not wanting to help the Rangers, and now Trouba lol

…and the rumor that Matts Zuccarello refusing to resign with Dallas so the Rangers wouldn’t get the pick.

Dallas wouldn’t go 5 years. Minnesota did.

 

[NYR Viper]

Just trade for Askarov and let him and Garand battle it out next year

 

[Fitzy]

I could see the number being over 11 yes.

Which is pretty insane in this era to be honest. The only reason we are even talking about it is because of his playoff performances. He’s only had one Vezina caliber regular season, it’s not like he’s been top 3 every single year like Hank was.

 

[Cmox]

that 13 number is a negotiation tactic.

 

[rangers1314]

Can someone do the math on what his AAV would need to be to match Saros, since he’s in a no state income tax state?

And how many games did he outright steal this playoff? Maybe one or two? How many shutouts did he have?

Please, please don’t make this mistake.

My counter argument against myself and yourself here though, is exactly what do we think the rangers would do with an extra 5-6 million by turning to an average goaltender that would somehow make us better than Shesterkin does? That’s enough for maybe one second line player.

 

[mas0764]

They can't sign Shesh to $13M aav. That would just be insane.

Nor should they. Saaros is a great goalie and got 7.75.

No more than 8.5 for Shesty.

 

[rangers1314]

it’s not apples to apples. Saros doesn’t get hit with income tax and Igor is better.

That being said, how can Igor seriously expect more than 10? 10.5?

 

[Chalfdiggity3]

Or let quick and garand play. But I agree

 

[mas0764]

8.5 and add 6%. It’s like 9. Done.

You get taxed where you play the games, it’s not 82 games of NY state income tax.

Hopefully it's somewhere else. We don't need to go down this road again with a goalie strangling our cap.

EF podcast on Trouba was basically some have told him this is a really hard deal, and it’s not close with Detroit.

Said Trouba was stunned, and feels like he doesn’t want to leave NY.

Said agent could make the 15 team no trade list difficult for Rangers, but then said Drury could counter with just placing him on waivers, and he could wind up anywhere.

If this falls through, it is complete amateur hour by Drury. Emporer’s new clothes moment for him.

can we please keep up this energy with Lindgren too? please?

Absolutely, but it's hard to speculate what his conversation with Trouba's agent was like.

If Trouba wants to be a prick then Drury should waive his ass. I'm sure Utah would grab him for nothing. THe need D men & have a ton of cap space. Would save us 2.5M in retention & achieve the same results. Whatever was coming back from Detroit wasn't going to move to needle on our roster.

Again, who's claiming him at the full 8m?

I tried to share with you all a couple hours ago what was going on here and where this situation was going. I'm vetted by the site for a reason...

I find it strange that Trouba would go full spite, Drury is trying to send him to a destination that he would really like, Trouba is playing a dangerous game if he gives Drury a bad list, and waivers becomes an option.
