the sheer number of Octopuses I had to ritually sacrifice to even join this forum is intimidating to think about

I mean nobody ever asked me to do that but some things are just implied
Honestly my octopus ritual sacrifices still make me sick. They're so intelligent. The last ones understood; they were resigned to their fate. That made it so much harder. I saw something almost human in them. By then, I was committed.

False. Being director or chair of a department at an academic hospital actually means you usually make less than your counterparts in the community. internal mediicne subspecs with a lot of procedures - like interventional cards, GI, nephro ( if you do dialysis), all make over 1M easily , if that’s what they want to do.

Every time I see your profile picture I think I'm the one who made the comment then I start reading and I'm like when did I write this?

"Comfortable"

Lol
If that’s just “comfortable,” I’m experiencing something on the order of Chinese water torture.

Well I only just now realized you guys are two different posters. Always just assumed you were one schizophrenic.

Trouba not wanting to accept a trade to Detroit is my only concern with the trade/waivers thing. He’s still got good hockey left in him but we don’t need another Leddy situation where he half asses it.

Yeah trouba retained would be a big get for the wings. He played over 21 mins a night on a team where his pairing also played the hardest matchups and won the presidents trophy. Oh no, he didnt look amazing against Florida in theconference finals. He would take some serious pressure off of Seider and be by far the second best dman on the team.

He also brings some physical edge that will help draw some of these younger guys into the fight a little more


When Chiarot was paired with Weber in Montreal - Weber tended to keep things orderly in their own end while Chiarot was a rover (some of his best hockey)...I could see a similar style between Trouba and Chiarot.

Yeah, if he genuinely disent wants to be traded anywhere we should have no part in these talks.. an unmotivated player is a distraction

If he was all for it but sorting life things out so be it.

You have to think that if he refuses trade to Detroit and gets placed on waivers, Yzerman should be smart enough to not claim him at full price. You are clearing cap space by giving away picks tied to players that seem to have value, the worst thing you could do is then swallow the entire contract and waste the open space you created.

If Trouba is on waivers I expect him to go somewhere like Utah, Minnesota, Winnipeg or another undesirable market. Then that team flips him at the TDL with retention.

Are you accounting for the fact Rangers need to spend cap on a center ? They have centers going to UFA; Roslovic (4m) and Wenneberg (4.5m). They need a center.



What term has he signed with TBL for? I missed that update!

Your Copp replacement got 7 years at $9 million AAV.

Look at these UFA prices and term and tell me why Trouba is a bad deal with 30% retention...
It's not. It's a definite upgrade.

But as we saw last night after signing kane to a perfect deal, everyone immediately went to trashing other things.

Yes he's regressing. But at 5.5 for 2 years it's a good deal.

Unless you'd rather pay a guy like tanev till he's 40
