Trouba is absolutely no worse than any of the pile of players like Edmundson, Kulak, Savard, Chiarot. NHL fans hate players like this, but NHL teams have proven they value them. And he’s younger than all of them, and his best has been better than any of them.You make it sound like Nurse also has value. Trouba is an awful player with an awful contract. He has negative value.
No smart player personally negotiates through a throwaway comment in the media. This is a nothing statement. If you actually read the full quotes, you’d see that he said he’s letting his agent handle this. People who are just looking for drama and too lazy to read the context are trying to turn a generic response into some controversy that doesn’t exist.Well if you say thoose words he said you take a "paycut 9-10 million for the team not aim on the absolut highest crazy number.The feeling is that is to greedy and want 12+i know it is all about the business but it feels a little to greedy for the love of the team.
Personally i would not give him more than 9 million for 7 years.
So Trouba with retention would be attractive to top clubs. Does he have trade protection? He might say no to moving. Rangers will have to find another way to fit in Shesterkin’s 10+Trouba is absolutely no worse than any of the pile of players like Edmundson, Kulak, Savard, Chiarot.

Trouba isn’t really that similar to Nurse in how he plays, but in a way he’s similar. He’s really not as bad as some say, like Nurse. He’s just evidently not worth his contract and isn’t suited for a top role on a contending team. Put him in a reduced role and where you aren’t paying him one of the worst contracts in the league, and you have a contributor that NHL teams will definitely value and fans also might.
and then start Stolarz the next 79 games after Woll tears his hamstring bending down to adjust his skate?
Would you rather have him or marner?
Yes that’s what I meant.Shesterkin or Marner you mean? Probably Marner if we keep Woll at 3M
Age isn't really something you can use in his favour. He's not young anymore. He's approaching the end of his career and he's not a good player at this point. The comparison to Nurse is based on shit players who are vastly overpaid.Trouba is absolutely no worse than any of the pile of players like Edmundson, Kulak, Savard, Chiarot.
