Trouba was clearly not healthy in the first half of the season. Second half of 23 Trouba is equal to his play in the playoffs of 22.
He’s fine.

Sure, but we’re not paying him to be a pp quarterback. He’s there to let miller be better offensively and that’s exactly what happened this season. Once he was healthy they controlled play, and generated healthy amount of offense as a pair.

It's not about PP production it's about driving offense. He was much better the past couple seasons... which makes little sense considering the team as a whole is better than the past couple seasons, 5v5 wise..
He could give KAM more 'free rein'. I do not think it has to be one or the other.
Thats not exactly true either. It wasn't as good as the year before or this year, but he was still very much one of the best D in the league last season while dragging around a wildly ineffective Lindgren for most of the RS.
The only thing holding him back from being a PPG+ this year is the inability of the people around him to finish with any regularity (I know you aren't saying this, but I'm dropping this in here as its relevant to the conversation.) He's been as impactful (if not more impactful) than any other defenseman on both ends of the rink this season.
He's our best player and it isn't particularly close.

1) at work
2) I don’t know what websites break down PP% which is why I’m asking you

It is true. We're saying the same thing.
Both things were true last season. Fox playing poorly, compared to his elite big brain standard, is still top 5-10 in the league. I'm not comparing him to the rest of the league. I'm comparing him to prime, terminator Fox.

Cant force someone to sign here if he does not want to be here. They better get a same type of physical prospect back. Another power forward type wouldn’t be a bad thing to add.

Any reason why he doesn't want to sign here? It's not like they have a plethora of center prospects.

Maybe he is not a city type of person. That does matter to players, they have families and whatnot. Seems like a Flames type player.
Quinn’s system requires a puck moving defenseman and enables a good one to put up points.
Not confirmed but why would the Rangers let a player go with grit and skill go unless he did not want to sign here and wanted a faster way to the NHL like on a bad team like Arizona. Hartford has centers just not top line centers which Grubbe is not. 4th line Brian Boyle type at best in my option is his upside. Maybe he feels Hartford has too much depth. Any reason why he did not want to sign here.

To be clear, they are not saying "here's Grubbe, good luck". They are trying to trade him.
I think it's pretty clear that its Grubbe who is choosing not to sign here than the Rangers being like "yeah we don't want you."

Want to her something kind of humorous and something we all need to keep in mind here when discussing the NCAA UFA's:
Jake Leschyshyn is 24 years old, born on March 10th 1999
He has a very respectable 42 points in his last 52 AHL games
Skyler Brind-Amour is 23 years old, born on July 27th 1999
He had a good last year in the NCAA's with 32 points in 41 games
These guys are 4 months apart from eachother.
People shit on Leschyshyn but I think we need to realize that many of these seniors coming out of NCAA, even if they score at a ppg clip, are going to be far closer to a role player like Leschyshyn than the next Hyman.
That's not to say that Drury shouldn't pursue these guys as it never hurts to help with depth but we all either need to recognize that Leschyshyn has more to provide the organization than given credit for or these guys we are looking at are not worth much discussion

How badly banged up is Lindgren? Kane? And Motte? Anyone else nursing anything beyond the normal doody?
This tweet is from last month.
Schneider is 4th in +/-. Schneider is a +10. Miller is 3rd. +13.
Lindgren, Fox and Miller are ahead of him.
Schneider is 2nd on the Rangers in blocked shots. 127. Fox is 3rd with 124. The bonus category is top two. Trouba has 172. PuckPedia didn’t mention this category.
Miller crushed his bonus categories. Top 4 in TOI from D. Miller is 2nd. PPG. Miller has .55 PPG. .49 PPG was the minimum. Assists. 25 assist minimum. Miller has 34. Points. 40 point minimum. Miller has 43 points. 10 goal minimum. Miller has 9 goals. He could get #10 tonight. Top 3 on +/-. Miller is 3rd. +13. His bonuses max out at $400,000.
Lafreniere.
Lafreniere is 6th on TOI behind Zibanejad, Panarin, Trocheck, Kreider and Kakko. Chytil is 7th.
Tarasenko and Kane have played less than 42 regular games for the Rangers.
