Roster Building Thread - Part XII(Training Camp/Preseason)
- Thread starter Leonardo87
- Start date
when his deal ends, he will want signif $$$$$$ and more not less term; if he wants/needs to he can retire
club will want to add quality cheaper youth to optimize roster while acknowledging unyielding cap
these are diametrically opposing positions
now if bread stays it is a ? of will he renew, at what # and for how long which neither side wants b'c of the above
but if he is dealt as a rental, then perception is different for us as sellers, acquiring club, and him as a player
that is what I've meant by that

Rangers have to trust their younger players that were drafted high especially ones that showed signs of progressing like Lafy has. Give him an A on his jersey. He has leadership qualities too. That is great to have in a young player.

Weekly reminder that Trouba and Drury suck and based on today's article, both can f*** right off.
Losers. Strip Trouba of the C.

Still pisses me off. Set aside the fact that Trouba's been mostly awful for us and his salary is an albatross on our cap, HE HAS A LIMITED NMC. The f***er can't just rewrite his contract and throw a hissy fit and say "no, I won't report there." f*** you. You shitstain. I know you can't tell the future and you didn't anticipate your wife being a resident for an extra year, but that's your problem, not ours. This is a business. Ordinary people get fired and let go all the time due to "business reasons" or hell, for no reason at all and they don't have the luxury of having a big bank account to rely on through hard times. But this 8M a year f***head thinks he's bigger than the organization he works for and whined and bitched and took his ball and went home. What an asshole.
Like think of it in our day-to-day lives. Imagine the CEO of the company you work for says, "hey, we're drastically downsizing here, but we're opening another branch in many other states. We'd love for you to relocate there. You'd keep your lofty salary as is and everything." You can either say, "I love it here, but I understand it's a business so I'll relocate. Thanks for the accommodation" or "okay, well thank you for the opportunity, but I'd like to stay in this city as my family is here so I will just go look for another job." You don't pull a Hulk Hogan and say "that doesn't work for me, brother."
Honestly, this should be grounds for termination of the contract. Saying he won't report to a team he is legally allowed to be traded to? Good. We won't trade you but we don't have to pay you either. You're in violation of your contract and the contract is now voidable. Sayonara 8M a year. Enjoy being a stay-at-home dad.
Trouba is a bitch and so is Drury. f*** them both. Trouba should not be C of this team.
Rant over.

I think it's because 2022-2023, nobody remembers anything other than the implosion after game 2. Fox had 6 points in the first 2 games, but the actual team was just very bad in the post season. So fans will chalk it up to Fox was bad. That team was so bad that even 100% Fox at this best couldn't save that disaster from happening.
This recent season he was injured and didn't have the best showing.
Fans clearly want to see the best players dominate, and when they don't, some of those fans will go to the extreme. Also, Fox should be playing every meaningful minute of those games but for some reason we're stuck on the lower side of 20m unless the game goes to overtime. This is the playoffs, that number should be be reaching the higher 20's without overtime.

You also thought he was healthy last playoff so your "observations" aren't carrying much weight...

This came across my YouTube feed today. FFS Russo eviscerates Milbury on Lavy’s firing.
First question - “Mike, how are you still the GM?”

To be fair, (and I really dislike Milbury) but he handled that pretty well.

Letting Smith get to the net and both defenders focusing on the shooter? They are in mid-season form.

It's a good thing Lavy recognized that Miller/Schneider was a worse pair than Miller/Trouba and isn't trying to stick with it.
I thought Smith was injured?
Also... i hate that he is wearing #91...
A cursed number for us.
Wennberg, Grachev, Blais, Tarasenko, Naslund...
Ugh... this is will be fine.
