The next terrible contract the rags will be able to get out of without any cost.

At least without the consequences of the bad signings the rangers have little incentive to make better ones. I hope.

If Trouba was getting paid fairly what would he be making?

He was always pretty good, young and cheap in Winnipeg so I always struggle picturing him as this big liability.

He is such a headhunter now too he rarely did that for us :laugh:
He’s a headhunter now because he can’t keep up with the play and it’s his way to try and contribute.

The Rangers have had dead cap space for over a decade due to buyouts and retentions. What terrible contracts have they been able to get out of without any cost, aside from maybe Goodrow last week? Rangers fans are sick of their team handing out dumb contracts going all the way back to Holik and Gomez.

Rangers will easily find a buyer for Trouba. Like it or not, he’s still an effective top 4, doesn’t hurt the team, play a physical game and can put up 20-30 points a year. Most importantly, he’s a RHD and these goes for a premium.

A lot of people won’t like it because they only care about points and superstars, but he would be a clear upgrade for a lot of contenders that are looking to bolster their RHD.

On the top of my head, Detroit, Ottawa, Buffalo & Toronto are all teams that could use a guy like Trouba to stabilize their D.

He was horrible in the playoffs, not sure what you watched.

The guy played with a hurt ankle for a chunk of the season, including the playoffs. Trouba isn’t half as bad as advertised here. The dude is mostly given d-zone deployments as a shutdown guy. Of course his numbers aren’t going to look great.

I’d gladly take him on Detroit, no retention needed if we can get away from Holl and Copp.

How much is it gonna take to dump him? Luxury is a nice way of saying he sucks azz for his cap hit.
Alot less than this website believes. On this website, a player is either worth nothing and assets must be attached to even move them or theyre 99 and any offer isnt good enough. There is no in between here.

If moved, he likely gets moved without attaching assets
