Love this. Cap will rise a lot in a few years anyways. Will this contract ever be a steal? Who knows? I don’t think so. But at least it should be moveable in 4-5 years.
AND we didn’t overpay for products of Panarin in Strome and to a lesser extent Copp. Drury knows what he’s doing.

Exactly what matters to Drury is the next 3 - 4 years when our team is looking to win a cup with our top guys like Shesty, Zib, and Fox in their primes. Great deal imo!

Trochek is also the type of player who, as he ages and the cap rises, can easily slide in to a 3C role. This isn't someone like Strome or Domi or someone like that where they are all offense. He is more than solid defensively.

I like Trochek, I might not be a fan of 7 yrs but the aav is good to me. Welcome aboard, Vincent!

Not to mention Kreider and Trouba.
The fan base has to face it. the next 3 years *ARE* win-now mode.
Yes, he's a center, Copp is not. At least according to the Rangers. We can debate whether he is a center, but that is not how Drury saw him.
Also, surprised that people are saying he stunk against the Rangers in their playoff series. I thought he was the #1 pest that was really killing the Rangers on the faceoffs and forecheck. Aho even disappeared toward the end mostly except on the rush, but Trocheck was super annoying. Looking forward to him annoying other teams!

Echo the whole love the player, not the terms sentiment. Five years at that price would have been fine. Still, I think he'll do really well here.
drury was 15% of the cap back then. troch is like 7% of the cap now. drury was also 2 years older when he got his deal than trocheck is now.

It's almost always dumb to trade significant assets for a player at the deadline. I mean how often does it work out? Did we make the ECF because of Copp? And what trophy do they award for making the ECF? I wouldn't have made the deal (structured that way) but I'm not the GM. I would have much preferred the contingent 1st rounder was triggered only if he re-signed with us.

Good player. Helps the team. I let the pros worry about the money.

Familiarity with Gallant is a good thing here. We know what we’re getting.

Drury had to go 7 to get the hit down. It's jarring but im not too concerned about contract lengths. They usually get sorted out one way or another.
He is an upgrade over Strome and Copp. If you were going to sign either of them for the same hit, which the other two were rumored to get (and what Copp got in Detroit), you could've had a better player in Trocheck instead that fits the direction this team needs to go in.
He's got more speed than both Copp and Strome
He's better defensively than both Copp and Strome
He's a true center, unlike Copp who is more of an army knife (I think Gallant noticed this quickly)
He can win faceoffs, unlike Strome
He's extremely effective on the PK, better than both Copp and Strome (Car had the best PK in the league and they went like 30 games without a goal against with Trocheck on the ice last season)
He's better on the forecheck and suits Gallants game better than Copp and Strome (and hes played for Gallant already)
He plays a grittier more physical game than both Copp and Strome
He plays on the PP so he replaces Stromes RH shot there which imo was important. He can go into the bumper spot.
He's a better goal scorer than both Copp and Strome
He can put in all situations and he checks off all of the boxes if you were going to commit to signing a 2c through free agency. There was a reason why his name was above Strome and Copp on the available lists

This is essentially the discussion we had the other day, Copp is just not fast enough.
5.6m is not bad at all. In the short term, I'm a fan. Better than overpaying for Copp or destroying our cap on another FA.
But 7 years is way too long. But he never would have bit on a 4 year deal with that average. Better not have a NMC attached.

Likely Trocheck because hes a RH shot and can slide into the same areas Strome did, not to mention help in the faceoff circle
yeah at that time 7.5 was close to the Cap Max amount.
hopefully Trochek, because if Laf scores too much it will cost a lot to re-sign him.

We're CLEAN, we PROMISE!
Liked him bunches with Florida, seen enough of him to know he is "feisty" and has a solid shoot 1st mentality which we need more of.
NYR's gain, is ALSO Hurricane's loss. That's a good thing. Lost Smitty as well.
speed, faceoffs, grit, and physical play, pretty skilled too.
