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

[Oscar Lindberg]

Drury is going to trade Trouba for Gubranson isn’t he

I woke up in the middle of the night violently shaking because I was so cold, felt nauseous and had the worst diarrhea of my life. Thought it was food poisoning but I guess it was an exorcism! Good riddance!!!

THE POWER OF CHRIS COMPELS YOU TO LEAVE ED's BODY! THE POWER OF CHRIS COMPELS YOU!!!

[Bob Richards]

he makes 8 million dollars to be a bottom pair defenseman on a good day. Also has made it known there are very few places he would be willing to play for. What GM in their right mind would give up assets for him?

This is the NHL where 80% of the teams brass have to pour ice down their pants whenever someone shows a clip of a Bob Probert fight.

There will always be a few.

 

[DialUp]

Trouba for Patrick Kane straight up!

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Ok, so what exactly is the point of increasing your complaining when Drury is doing something about it?

Because it's a little too late. They may have gotten something of value if they traded him a few months ago and not have him on the ice every game playing like shit.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

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.

yes, along with a new 8 year extension that runs concurrently with his existing one

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

lets f***ing go

 

[nyrage]

this cannot be the only move though.

at least one, ideally two more players have to go.

It's a start, but definitely more to go hopefully.

He was practicing on the 3rd pair. Foreshadowing

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Had to be done but that C is poison. Callahan traded, McDonagh traded, Trouba waived. No wonder no one wants the job.

stop giving it to Dmen. If Fox gets it next watch the immediate brutal decline and trade

 

[makdeniss]

They will play without a captain for some time. I would give it to Kreider though

 

[Levitate]

I’d guess they get a depth D back. Maybe someone young who hasn’t impressed the way the other team wanted (dunno if a reasonable one exists)

 

[hardnosed]

I assume Fox is our new captain?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

maybe we’ll learn to not hand out NMCs like candy now

 

[Mike in Houston]

 

[bernmeister]

If DET, my hopes would be for Rassmussen =player/salary coming back

 

[tlk]

Provo for Trouba?

Not exactly inspiring.

 

[ThePeoplesPeople]

Drury's tenure so far is definitely OK at best. But I do think there is reason to think his body of work in the next 4 years will be better than the previous 4.

 

[Levitate]

Because it's a little too late. They may have gotten something of value if they traded him a few months ago and not have him on the ice every game playing like shit.

They tried and Trouba nixed it

 

[rangers1314]

Love the term “absolute hardball”

 

[Ruggs225]

Man Fantilli going to look great here.

Haha

 

[RangerBoy]

The Rangers place Trouba on waivers. He is claimed by Columbus. The Rangers and Columbus complete a trade for future considerations or something not much. The Rangers get back something. Overhardt will lose his mind. The Rangers babies will be upset too.

 

[will1066]

If it's a trade package, wouldn't other names be revealed as being a roster management move?

 

[MrAlmost]

Do I live in an alternate reality? Elliott you f***ing dunce, the precedent wasn't 20 years ago. It was 2 years ago with McDonagh to Nash. Do people just forget the things Tampa and Vegas have done to players? Haha
