good ‘ol bruce garioch, sens mouthpiece. he makes larry look good

Mika as a part of a package for BT? Obviously he would have to waive but let’s pretend he does.

Mika+Miller is a pretty solid return

LOL....Hell we will even throw in Lindgren if they buck ....and if we win the Cup in next two years an all expense paid trip to a hot climate . Just get it done !!!

Paul Giamatti vociferously jotting down notes.

"This is gonna be one hell of a story..."

 

[bleedblue94]

Idk that's John Davidson's problem. If no one claims him trouba goes to Hartford. if he doesnt report his contract gets terminated. Thats the path this is going. But it seems like he will get traded.

I know where it's going, I'm trying to tell you why Columbus wouldn't just put a claim in on him if he doesn't accept the trade there

 

[mas0764]

Worst case scenario for Trouba is a waiver wire in which he doesn't not get picked up(which is plausible given his large contract). If he got demoted to Hartford, that would be worse than almost any NHL destination possible.

Then that's incentive for him to accept a trade.

Curiously timed article Brucie!

It's not curious, this is known as negotiating through the media. Both teams have their media shrills in full activation for a reason. It will be interesting to see if they can figure it out

 

[MrAlmost]

I've never seen so many people say that something so small by one beat writer was absolutely positively not true and will never happen.

Little odd.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

With the news that Lavi and Drury are officially together, who is most likely to host Christmas this year? I could see Lavi whipping them up a really nice Beef Wellington.

The first line of that article is misquoting what Larry said. No one said Trouba would be involved in a Tkachuk trade. All it says was more moves are expected and the Rangers want brady. Ottawa is so shook by this, its a little sad. Sorry they had to find out this way that he has no interest in being the 10 seed for remainder of his contract.

what a morning - just breezed through 20 pages of this thread. As a newer member it's fun to see pretty much the whole board in on the action.

can i ask a question though?

Why is @McRanger92 continually lumping Kakko in with the rest of the country club brigade?? He plays the right way, has chemistry with cuylle and fil, he's even missing a front tooth for f***s sake. yeah if he gets you a stud or an upgrade at D or C sure he's not untouchable - but why is this guy just repeating the idea that he's part of the problem over and over and over??

 

[Zynbanejad]

I'm in the keep Kakko camp, but if it's part of a package for Brady, I'll pack his bags

Kakko tells the Finnish media he wants more ice time every 5 minutes. I dont dislike the guy but he does do it.

 

[RangerBoy]

Ottawa doesn't want to trade Tkachuk. He is a signed player.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Trouba decides to be waived and leaves it up to chance to spite Drury in receiving nothing in return in an agreed deal.

Although 8m free and clear is probably the better of the two

Who gives a shit if we even get a 7th for him at this point?

 

[I Eat Crow]

He'll only move if he says he wants out.

only players i’d be kinda eh about moving for him are laf and gabe. even then i’d probably do it

Ottawa hopefully paying attention to the disgruntled captain speedrun the Rangers are on.

Good. I want a guy that wants minutes. Especially when he's been ignominiously scratched for dryden hunt and jonny brodz in the biggest games of the year

 

[DanielBrassard]

What happens if they don’t start winning?

 

[leetch99]

Get Mike Ricci as an assistant coach ASAP

Unfortunately he is right up there in that dept .

Im happy a guy wants more ice time.
And lavi absolutely gives him more time when he’s playing well.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Unless they don't want to claim him knowing that he actively does not want to be there as opposed to a different location. Why would they bring him in there if they know he actively doesn't want to be there

I don't think there's anywhere Trouba really wants to be at this point.

 

[McRanger92]

I want that too but by hugging the halfwall and rarely shooting the puck, he's not really giving the Rangers anything they dont already have. And Im sorry but Kakko wanting whats best for Kakko is not good for the locker room in times of turmoil.

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

as long as the sens owner is melnyk they will never be good

they’re basically the redskins with Snyder

Well when he looks around at the effort of the country club boys I can see him thinking he deserves more time
