Wheel him in and let's go senator head hunting next season. I like this Jake better than the other.
Dont like those future pairings. Theodore and ASP together would prob get caved in a lot because defense is not their strong suit. I think you were right the first time in terms of chemistry. If you sign Theodore you pair him with Mo. Ed preferably needs someone like Roy or Pesce.EVS
Ed - Mo
Theodore - Sandin-Pelikka
Johansson - X
PP1
Theodore
PP2
Sandin-Pelikka
In their primes, Ed and Mo can hit 30 mins during the playoffs. Theodore plays the Rafalski role on PP1 and Sandin-Pelikka plays the Kronner role on PP2. Any forwards who play with that second pairing and/or play on the power play are going to see their offensive numbers get a bump. For the record I don't think we are going to sign Theodore, his price will be far too high.
he’s been declining the last couple seasons. Why would we bail out New York for someone who by the end of last season was a third pairing d man? We already have a ton of washed up d-men.The rumor is retaining 2.5 million and Trouba at 5.5 on our second pair is good business.
I really hope Yzerman pulls the trigger on this move.
Honestly, I still don't want Trouba at 5.5. If we get Trouba at 4 and send Holl back, and don't have to pay anything to do it, then I'd be happy. Otherwise, actually get a good player or accept that this year is a wash and stop mucking up the future with more bad playersThe rumor is retaining 2.5 million and Trouba at 5.5 on our second pair is good business.

Rangers are trying to gain maximum cap space to make some material changes. Holl back doesn't help with that mission.Honestly, I still don't want Trouba at 5.5.

Nope. Yzerman wouldn’t only need to be fired but would also need to be committed to an asylum if he did that deal. Trouba has negative value at 8 million and even at 4 million he’s not worth a prospect and a 2nd rounder.Rangers fan is peace. Here's my best guess: Trouba for a 2025 second and Elmer Soderblom.
I know Soderblom's had concussion issues a never really picked up from his 21 game NHL opportunity. A change of scenery and a young player with size and limited upside the Rangers can add to their mix and mantra of trying to get tougher to play against (even though he's not a basher from what I remember).
Cause if you watch the player he is a bottom pairing defenseman at best at this stage in his careerA clear upgrade at RD. Moves Petry/Holl to the 3rd pair. I’m confused why people are upset (depending on what we send back)
Then let them keep Trouba. That's the whole point. Unless there's enough negative value going back to the Rangers to cancel Trouba, we shouldn't take him. If we had to trade a second to get rid of Walman, the Rangers should have to trade their first born children to get rid of TroubaRangers are trying to gain maximum cap space to make some material changes. Holl back doesn't help with that mission.
So the 3rd leading player in ice time defensively on the President's Trophy winning team is a downgrade? He was playing on a broken ankle with a chunk missing, not even many NHL guys are doing that. He is tough as hell and would be an ideal partner for Edvinsson.he’s been declining the last couple seasons. Why would we bail out New York for someone who by the end of last season was a third pairing d man? We already have a ton of washed up d-men.
He’s been declining hard, hes not worth half of what his contract is and being a third pairing on a top team makes him Lebda.im a bit confused by the "Trouba is done" squad. he was 3rd in D-man ice time for the Presidents Trophy winners. he's not what he was, and i always thought that Rangers contract for him was a bit mad, but is he top 4 on Detroit's D? definitely.

Would still need a sweetener. Atleast make NYR pay a 2nd the way we had to in order to dump Walman.The rumor is retaining 2.5 million and Trouba at 5.5 on our second pair is good business.

Disagree based on what Emily and friends were saying last night and they have cap room and want more competitive players in the room.Nope. Yzerman wouldn’t only need to be ford but would also need to be committed to an asylum if he did that deal. Trouba has negative value at 8 million and even at 4 million he’s not worth a prospect and a 2nd rounder.
Lebda was the third pairing dman on the Wings 08 cup team. Doesn’t mean I’d trade for him. He’s declining hard and trading for him with that price tag is dumb. Especially if anything goes back to NYR.So the 3rd leading player in ice time defensively on the President's Trophy winning team is a downgrade? He was playing on a broken ankle with a chunk missing, not even many NHL guys are doing that. He is tough as hell and would be an ideal partner for Edvinsson.
He is 30 years old and it is a two year commitment. I like the deal, he makes us better and helps slot roles on the team better.
Dude I'm not Professor X and using telepathy. This is literally taken from factual information from Emily, Weekes, etc. last night and Larry Brooks here in NY.Then let them keep Trouba. That's the whole point. Unless there's enough negative value going back to the Rangers to cancel Trouba, we shouldn't take him. If we had to trade a second to get rid of Walman, the Rangers should have to trade their first born children to get rid of Trouba
Trouba is a much better player than Jake Walman gang. Even with Trouba's decline... We know his rough end to the season had a significant injury, Walman was being healthy scratched in a playoff race.Would still need a sweetener. Atleast make NYR pay a 2nd the way we had to in order to dump Walman.
