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

[Jim Ramsay]

So my take on this is Drury had a trade in place in the offseason and Trouba used his clause(which was within in right) to nix it. Drury probably thought he would see how it played out this season and obviously Trouba(amongst many others) look checked out so now Drury is reacting

Drury isnt a savior, but I am glad he's trying to salvage something this season because the players look like they couldnt care less

If we send him to the AHL and he refuses to report can we terminate the contract?

I believe so

 

[bobbop]

The Trouba news means they are close on a deal. No reason to bench him otherwise.

Stay tuned.

Does this mean his artwork wont be available for purchase at Casino Night?

I still dont think Drury is a good GM.

But he is gaining my respect at least.

50% off

A team has a claim ready to go...

That team got the Golden Ticket as far as I'm concerned

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

What are you even complaining about here? You think malcontent poor player Trouba is good to have on the team?

He should've been gone a few months ago

No but a game used Kazoo from JD and the Straight shot will be up for bid.

Were you not around for the Messier mess?

God Bless This Mess

You know… the more i think about this. The more i hope we just waive him.

I am scared shitless at what a trade looks like. Drury giving up multiple firsts to rid him?

We all know Drury cant make a trade.

Im having Nemeth flashbacks.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Cold blooded. Could've been avoided if feelings weren't hurt in the summer. These guys must've forgot #ItsABusiness

Well that’s an attempt at changing the room.

Can’t be the only thing.

I straight up hate you but damn I respect you

 

[Profet]

My guess?

Rangers have a deal on place.
Trouba can either waive or he'll be on waivers and will get picked up by a lesser team.

 

[McRanger92]

Nashville and Detroit make the most sense as trade partners imo

 

[Ruggs225]

I straight up hate you but damn I respect you

Im kind of hurt you hate me.

Yep. Same.

 

[Shesterkybomb]

He was as good as traded the day the C went on his jersey, we always dump the captain lol

This is just the start imo. Get the team back to cruising altitude then reassess. Igor, Lindgren, Kakko, Miller shouldnt feel safe imo. Contract demands and Drury now has cap flexibility to add guys who fit what he wants to do. He hasnt been the best GM but at no point has he had any flexibility to make moves.

 

[tlk]

What's the likely purpose of whatever deal? Saving money for the TDL?

Trouba only has negative worth in this forum, with some retainment he has value for a lot of teams trying to add physicality to their lineup.

i think of Drury as doing well in most trades.

The Nemeth trade was expensive because we wanted that D. Who we lost to waivers later.

 

[Ruggs225]

Maybe we can trade Trojba for Skjei

And then Kreider for JT Miller.

It will be a rangers retro team. Retro is all the rage these days.

Ok, so why not complain then? Drury NOW is making up for it. Would you rather he not get rid of Trouba now?
