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

[Jaromir Jagr]

So it appears that collectively we may have underestimated Trouba's value and/or overestimated the IQ of NHL GMs...

It's always the latter.

 

[The Undertaker]

Man the NHL is filled with idiots. Really well done by Drury.

 

[RangersFan1994]

I always liked Verbeek with the Rangers. It was only 1 1/2 years.

He was one player I liked but of course get him towards end of his career. Solid ball of hate. Fun to watch

 

[Levitate]

lol at the "drury sucks how terrible can't do shit" turning to "wow drury's a wizard"

 

[DanielBrassard]

I trade him

I would as well but I’m skeptical that happens unless the Rangers tank and he won’t move off 13M or whatever his asking price is.

 

[McRanger92]

I trade him

I think Igor is the next big fish to go. Kreider too. I think the high priced vets are all being purged based on how they've conducted themselves this season.

 

[RangerBoy]

Trouba preferred California. Can't blame him.

Urho with the bomb, Trouba with the screen, Kakko makes a friend:

This board often underestimates the value of our players that they hate. This board was happy with the Zooks and JT Miller trades the day they happened. Most of our guys have more value in general than some posters think imo.

Underestimated his value. Ben Chiarot got a 1st. Big D who hit hard are commodities.

Anaheim basically signed Jacob Trouba to a 2/16 deal and waived some scrub NPC who was injured. I think they do that combo 100 times out of 100. It's a good deal!

 

[DialUp]

@Leonardo87 sorry bro!

 

[B17 Apricots]

Next is Lindgren... CK and Vinny in the summer if they can't get their shit together

Much rather keep Vinny than zib but blow it all to hell regardless if we have to

 

[LORDE]

cool

now watch him use that cap space to sign igor to a big dumb contract

That’s exactly what he’s going to do

 

[rangers1314]

The Rangers visit the Ducks March 28th.

Keep ya head up.

 

[mrmovies779]

No retention is a huge win...but to get a body and pick also?Grand f***ing Slam

 

[will1066]

Vaak isn't good, but he is a lefty, which is innnttteerrestting...

A Finnish Libor Hajek

 

[GAGLine]

Apparently, the 4th round pick is conditional. I don't know what the condition is, but I assume that means it could be better than a 4th round pick. Probably a 3rd.

 

[Bob Richards]

Drury deleting $11.6 million with no retention between Trouba and Goodrow

I will become a shooter for Drury. Say mean things about him and I’m showing up to your house with a Wile E. Coyote rocket

 

[McRanger92]

Keyvn Adams had a press conference today in Buffalo where he basically said he has no answers and they are an undesirable location. That would be my next target if i was drury. Ryan Lindgren will provide the Grit you need to turn it around!

 

[Fitzy]

The Rangers visit the Ducks March 28th.

Keep ya head up.

A game where it might actually be worth it to dress Rempe, what do you know

 

[will1066]

Poor Leo can't escape the Trouba Train

POTD

 

[effen]

I will reiterate that FOR ANAHEIM this is a good deal.

I'd like to know what CBJ offered.

 

[Grifter3511]

Nvrm.
