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

[HatTrick Swayze]

Big time Drury W

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Without retention that’s a solid move

 

[McRanger92]

PLEASE no retention

 

[NYR94]

Godspeed Jacob

 

[RangerBoy]

 

[Raspewtin]

Without retention that’s a solid move

without no retention this is a f***ing homerun

got a good player, pick, AND shed 8 mill in space for a pissy malcontent who sucks? that's f***ing incredible

 

[Bob Richards]

Drury is a f***ing wizard lmao

 

[DanielBrassard]

Amazing trade

 

[JimmyG89]

No salary retention is amazing. Clearing the books for more moves.

 

[NickyFotiu]

This would be a good thing and I very much hope it happens. Especially NJ.

LOL I knew I would hear that response. Heard it with Zooks, JT Miller and others as well. I would not want Trouba hurting any of our guys no matter how bad some people feel he will play. Would you be okay if Chytil goes against him with his head down?

 

[mas0764]

Interesting to see what the pick is.

I bet the return could have been greater had Trouba played ball in an open bidding this summer.

Instead this seems to be an acceptable return and it was accomplished in a push come to shove situation on a hard and fast deadline with everyone knowing the player was out the door.

 

[MrAlmost]

yes he is

Well fair. He has been on a horrible team so he might be a good replacement for Lindgren who i imagine is next now.

 

[RangersFan1994]

 

[RangerBoy]

The Ducks have two 4th's this season. Their pick and Red Wings pick. No 4th in 2026.

 

[New York RKY]

Ducks taking on the full salary!

 

[McRanger92]

Best trade we've made since Gomez for McD

 

[will1066]

Whoa I'm just sort of catching up on the last 24 hours now. Holy schnikes. So Trouba is gone and Brooks is saying Laf could be in a package for Brady Tkachuk? Do I have this correct?

Half correct

 

[Matt Rentfree]

Drury! It's not my birthday for another 15 days, you silly so and so!

 

[B17 Apricots]

Looks like Vaakanainen is on the IR unfortunately

 

[toNYRico]

Looks like I'm ordering from Colony Grill for dinner tonight. Cheers, Christopher.

 

[Fitzy]

Full salary makes this a steal upon steals.

Thank you, our west coast Duck friends.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

A+

 

[NYR94]

ANA taking on full salary...not bad Drury

 

[duhmetreE]

Oh man…. Sam is going to struggle

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Drury is Elphaba
