Speculation: Roster Building Thread: Part XIV (To trade or not to trade is the question)

[LiveLongandProspal]

What a f***ing mess. Our own captain.


Chris Drury is completely inept.

 

[McRanger92]

People can get their jokes off, but they dont watch the Rangers enough if they dont realize 8mil in free cap space the next 2 years and a removal of a massive malcontent isnt a big win for the team.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Drury said “oh you thought waiving goody was savage? Watch this”

 

[McRanger92]

Trouba quit on the team, not Drury.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

If you need someone to f*** your sports team, call Chris Drury or Joe Schoen

 

[Gordon Bombay]

Trouba’s locker gonna look like his one piece of art

 

[will1066]

This is not gonna heal the room. It might make it even worse frankly, with no defacto C. But frankly who cares? It's morphin time. And maybe they all secretly have hated him since the helmet throw.

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Trouba quit on the team, not Drury.

And Drury should've traded his ass when he got a chance and not leak the trade to LARRY F'N BROOKS

 

[Kords]

Honestly I feel bad for Trouba too. Has to be done, but I liked the guy about as much as you could like a guy who practically single handedly cost this team a trip to the SCF. This fanbase has been brutal though this year so it’s in his best interest to move on as well.

Sometimes you gotta tear it all the way down to build it back up again

 

[RGY]

Ok we can continue to be a mediocre team waiting for Kakko and Miller to produce consistently and not play like whimps. Tkachuk would provide more value to the Rangers than all 4 guys combined for the life of his remaining contract.

Team's that win Cups make deals like this. Not going diamond hands on guys who don't even want to be here.

I have great respect for you. But i dont think you know who does and doesnt want to be here.

Other than Trouba of course.

 

[Ruggs225]

I wonder if this is to get him to waive his NTC before being placed on waivers so he has some type of control of where he goes.

Big time. At least this stretch of games coming up is technically as easy as it could be so who knows. They may accidentally win a few games despite themselves.

Now we will find out who is all in, and who is a rat off a sinking ship.

I have great respect for you. But i dont think you know who does and doesnt want to be here.

Other than Trouba of course.

We are about to find out for sure who does and doesnt want to be a Ranger.

The Rangers put so much lipstick on the Trouba situation for the last two years the situation became even weirder than it needed to be.

Drury has been making moves in the background these couple of days to build the leverage he needs to execute on this today.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

This seems like a more accurate read of what’s going on here lol

Also a weird move to make the day of a game, but what do I know

 

[LOFIN]

Holy shit.

Respect for Drury

 

[McRanger92]

Rangers about to trade Trouba for Orlando Cabrera and Doug Mientkiewicz. If you get the reference, congrats, you know ball.

 

[Ruggs225]

Next on the get the f*** off the team list.

Kreider - who hopefully brings back a young dman with top 4 potential.


Then lindgren and miller.

Then zib might waive his NMC haha

 

[will1066]

Trouba’s locker gonna look like his one piece of art

Who graffiti'ed my stall?!

 

[SA16]

Wonder if Zibanejad will come on the ice tonight with the C on his jersey? It's possible they think jettisoning Trouba, and then elevating Zibanejad to an even bigger leadership position, will help him get more invested and turn his game around.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Even if you love Drury it’s hard to deny that this should have happened in the off season. If trouba put up a stink about being traded and he couldn’t get the deal done, waive him right then and there. I’m sure he would have liked a return for him but sometimes you gotta rip the bandaid. Now the team is in a tail spin, wasn’t worth the wait.

 

[leetch99]

We will coast a bit longer ..win a few more games....agree to terms with a couple of our guys and make the playoffs . Probably lose one or both of KK -Lindy and possibly Othmann . We might even win a round .....it is not impossible .
