Yea that's me, always shitting on Yzerman's moves and hating really hard on the team. You got it so right there.

Please no. A headhunter whose game is in decline. Consistently gets beat wide.
We've seen it with guys like Seabrook, Dumoulin-- avoid these types of players as soon as they turn 30.

If you need all this bs to happen what does it say about the player? He is just the name, a shell of his former self and trending downwards. I fully expect us to be interested.

Why when next year we’ll simply be replacing the buyout conversations with Trouba instead. Why trade one dud for another?

Enough of the yapping… get this done.
I’m actually excited to see him punch some guys. I have a good feeling about this trade. Despite it being Trouba. Perhaps he rebounds here. It’s entirely possible.

If Yzerman pays your favorite UFA dman to the term he's going to get, you'd shit on it. Don't like.
Two years at a lower cap hit for a bottom 4 guy that adds toughness is a better decision. Especially after getting rid of "detroit's 2nd best dman" that no GM in the league wanted 3.4m contract.
Yzerman is building the most entertaining DRW team since I've seen in almost a decade. I'm happy with the big picture.

Rangers fans hated Marc Staal with a passion and were thrilled when we took him on. Did pretty well with us. Trouba could be better than that in the long run.
I have a long list of players who need an elbow to the head that I would like to share with Jacob.

people on the Rangers board are hoping they get a 1st next year as part of the deal....
Wouldn't surprise me anymore

Trouba wouldnt be my want if we were getting a RHD, Id rather get Tanev on a shorter term deal, but depending on how much is retained this isnt the worst move imo. He's only signed for 2 years, and by the time his contract is up I would have to assume ASP would be knocking on the door about to make the team.
People on this board are hoping they can dump every undesirable contract they can imagine in exchange for Trouba. Fans aren't always the best in guessing a player's value.

Someone needs to tell Yzerman that just because they are from Michigan he doesn't have to acquire them. If this turns out to be true then for the last 3 years we have acquired a player born in Michigan...with mixed results.

Must be recent because you're always responding to my posts. You don't like it when anyone enjoys seeing the improvements of the team. Anything that happens must result in negative responses and hate.. or BOOM, "Ignore list!".
I encourage all SNOWFLAKES to ignore me. Hide in your safe space so your feelings don't get hurt.

I did ten years ago.
I expect an overpayment then analyst from Yzerman referring to him now as the player he once was.
No less so than the paid GMs who deliberately signed those players to thosev specific undesirable contracts...

I always thought Trouba was overrated, even 10 years ago. But when you idle your expectations and accept he is what he is, then he's a decent mid dman with size and toughness.
Jet fans use to act like he was the 2nd coming of Christ. I always expected this HUGE breakout that never happened. That's not saying he is terrible. If his cap hit is in fact 5.5m, then I think he is fine add to help push this team to uptick the 6th year under Yzerman on his chart. Progress is the goal.

The problem is his cap hit is ridiculous. I wish he had Holl's deal.

I don't want to let it play out. So far we have traded a good underrated Big RD defense prospect to ship out Walman.
Jacob Trouba is a dirty piece of shit and sucks.
I'm trying old friend but I'm losing it here lolNamaste, Go Wings, namaste!

Literally don't like any move we've done in the past week. It's either status quo from Detroit or head scratcher.
Dotter
THE ATHLETIC IS GARBAGE
Help me understand this. I see status quo as in getting incrementally better without losing future assets or prospects.
I'm judging Yzerman based on how the team gets better in the big picture. And so far he has delivered each and every year since being here. It looks like Yzerman wants to make moves to get this team over 91 points in 2025... all while not giving up assets.
This is a weak draft because they lost development time in COVID years. I think after MBN, there's not much there other than (hopefully) Griffins depth.
If Yzerman lands Trouba, I expect him to go for some offense July 1.
