Trouba for Buffalo's 1st
Lindgren for two Utah's 2nds
McGroarty and a 2nd for Kakko and a 3rd.
GET ER DONE SLATS!

Indeed, a well-placed source has told The Post that GM Chris Drury is working on a deal to send the captain to the Red Wings, a trade that the Michigan native would presumably accept after having played as a freshman for the Wolverines in 2012-13.
We are told the Rangers may retain $2.5 million per year on the two remaining seasons of Trouba’s $8M annual cap charge. That represents 31.25 percent retention that would also be applied to the $12M in salary Trouba has coming over the next two seasons.
If that does become the amount of retention if this deal goes through, that would clear an additional $5.5M in space … but the Blueshirts would have to then find a reasonable replacement for the most physical and menacing player on the team who held down a spot on their first penalty-kill unit.
Return? I would f***ing pay to get rid of Trouba even retained.Talk of Rangers trading Jacob Trouba to Red Wings growing
Momentum continues to build for the Rangers captain Jacob Trouba’s exit from New York after five seasons.nypost.com
Drury better get a good return for retaining $2.5M.

it will take moreI’ll give Trouba and 30 for Zegras
He is a 3rd pairing defensemen who was glaringly bad all season. He can’t make a breakout pass to save his life. He routinely is out of position. I love his leadership but I can’t see him playing a meaningful role on a Stanley cup winning team.The return better be some futures or a good young center for Trouba. He’s not as bad as many here are clamoring and at $5.5m he has real value. I wonder if the deal was either take back Holl or retain. I’d prefer to retain.
I can see him bouncing back as a decent third pairing guy, or even #4 if all goes right. Still not anywhere near 8mil value, and I'm on board with moving him because I just want a different look for this D-corps. We don't have the luxury of having too many top value contracts. Lafreniere I expect to be one. That's about it, and you need those serious surplus value contracts to have an 8 million dollar boat anchor.He is a 3rd pairing defensemen who was glaringly bad all season.

Is someone really going to claim him for his full value? I mean I guess you could try.Can't we just waive him & NOT retain?
I'm guessing Detroit is a preferred destination for Trouba. Probably trying to get something done there before expanding to lesser-desired teams. I think while I would get rid of Trouba for free, the retention most likely means a return of some kind.Can't we just waive him & NOT retain?
Wouldn’t mind Perry as the return, ideally instead of the retention. Only 1 year left at 2.4m cap hit, so wouldn’t owe anything after this year and could be 3rd pair rhd.I'm guessing Detroit is a preferred destination for Trouba.

Also, freeing up 5.5 million in space potentially to immediately hand it to Patrick Kane is something
