Rumor: "Decision has been made" to trade or waive Trouba - Larry Brooks

[Leviathan]

Rangers can’t overreact in free agency after not getting another Patrick Kane chance

The worst thing GM Chris Drury could do is overreact to Patrick Kane’s decision to forego free agency to remain in Detroit on a one-year extension.

“If Jacob Trouba does not approve a trade to Detroit that is believed in place, he will ultimately be sent somewhere else, perhaps by waivers. The decision has been made.”

Dude doesn’t know what he’s talking about, he basically said bertuzzi isn’t a needle mover in the playoffs despite him being a PPG on the bruins in the playoffs and solid for the leafs.

Also that trade that is believed to be in “place” is pure speculation and not tied to any insiders.

A reporter’s hockey takes shouldn’t have any bearing on how you evaluate their legitimacy reporting

I’m basing of his reporting on the fact that he has no insiders and nothing close to a shred of truth on the trouba situation has been said. It’s all speculation to garner clicks.

Who cares about trouba or where he ends up, hopefully on the last place capitals

I hope he stays, he is such a great fit.

He clearly won't be. If he doesn't accept a trade, the Rangers are putting him on waivers and the Sharks are going to claim him. Sounds like it's either the Sharks or the Red Wings for Trouba.

Damn can’t believe the Rangers are violating Troubas mental health like this. He should make a tweet about it.

Bertuzzi isn’t a needle mover though, he just improves how well your needle movers convert mostly on the PP. Someone needs to actually generate the shots that he tips or cleans up rebounds on, he sure as shit isn’t generating any.

Easiest decision ever. Trouba blows. There shouldn’t be a market for him at all.

i wouldn't be sure somebody claims him at full value. in a trade you can negotiate for retention or send a contract back. a waiver claim means you get his full cap hit on the books.

 

[Quack Shot]

Is Trouba that bad now?

 

[Turin]

Is Trouba that bad now?

Depends. If you want him to play hockey, yes. If you want to get away with injuring star players in the playoffs, no he’s still good at that, though declining even there with his recent missed chicken wings.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

He's either accepting a trade or getting claimed off waivers with a handshake agreement for a large sum of picks/prospects from the Rangers in exchange for future considerations

Unless that's considered tampering, I have no idea. But it's the only thing I can think of where waivers makes sense because nobody is taking that cap hit for nothing in return unless maybe it's one of the teams that needs to get to the cap floor.

If the Rangers weasel their way out of another horrible contract, I can forgive Drury for not trading the 30OA at the deadline for some help

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Wonder who he elbows on the way out.

 

[Some Other Flame]

Can't see why any team would claim him doing the Rangers a massive favor for free

 

[Artemi Panarin]

Can’t believe they would do this to a recipient of the Mark Messier Leadership Award™

 

[Doomhammer]

Seems like disrespect for a Mark Messier NHL Leadership Award winner...

 

[ViD]

That’s your captain right there

 

[CrazyDuck4u]

Pat Verbeek needs to be all over this

[Chet Manley]

As a Jets fan, him being strong-armed into something he doesn't want to do is delicious. Yummy yum

 

[jetsforever]

Kind of weird to want to ditch him no matter what (if true) considering he seems to be a decently popular captain

TBH he would probably be a good fit back on the Jets (would also be hilarious)

Ruthless lol
