Player Discussion Vincent Trocheck

[IDvsEGO]

There were people who were against the signing because of the contract, not what we were getting for the money. It was the right move from day 1. I don't buy the "Trocheck blocking Chytil" stuff. Chytil has done just fine and just signed a nice contract. I like strength down the middle and in a few years Chytil and Trocheck can switch places as Trocheck ages. It's a good problem for the Rangers to have.

I think theres a valid question what chytil's numbers look like if he gets trocheck's opportunities?
If he's starting the season with panarin, and they click? I think chytil is sitting around 50-60 points.

Has chytil taken a solid step forward this season? Absolutely, and it does make alot of us feel better about his production in the future but alot of us wanted the kids to be the second line.

Having Trocheck and Chytil behind Zibanejad is like having Crosby, Malkin, and Staal. I mean obviously not to that same extent, but a situation where your 3C could really be a 2C on a lesser team.

I'd absolutely agree. But they also struggled to keep that core together for more than a few years. Some of that was Staal wanting to play w his brother, but it was also salary costs and players wanting more opportunities.

About time we show this man some love. Guy has been one of the most underrated 2Cs of the last half decade. A true swiss-army knife 2C that can drive play, backcheck as hard as forecheck, win draws, play PP, PK, you name it, he does it. A controversial signing for media "experts" and some fans. Troch has been everything Chris Drury has wanted him to be and then some.

He was Canes best player by far in the series in 2021, so we knew what we were getting. He seems to have improved as he's gotten more comfortable, knowing hes a trusted member of the core here. I know people still pine for Buchnevich, but Trocheck isnt here if we kept him. We'd be screwed without this guy.

Strome's +/- and PIMs are funny but not at all shocking.

No one argued he wasn’t gonna be immediately better than Strome or copp.
The argument was always what can panarin and Chytil do because gallant would always take the vet alternative.

I know Bread has more points but if somebody said Vince was the MVP of our first 26 games I would not argue. His faceoffs have won us many possessions.

 

[Row I Goon]

Leads the league in faceoff wins. Been a while since we had anyone that did that - could be a trivia question for Sam and Joe…?

 

[cwede]

can't ask for more than NYR have gotten from this 'non-super-star' -
the Faceoffs, the points, playing all situations, the adapting to play with whoever he's with

 

[EdJovanovski]

Better than Mika

 

[pld459666]

Solid all around player perfect for Lavy's style of play.

 

[Machinehead]

He's been an absolute savage this year.

 

[bl02]

Has he had a game where he hasn't showed up or competed?
Player of the year so far for this team. He's playing like a 8.5 million dollar player.

Better than Mika

Not even close and I have no doubt he's rubbed off on Lafreniere in a good way. Not backing down. Playing physical. Trying to win puck battles.

 

[GENESISPuck94]

He's been arguably our 2nd best forward this season.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

He’s also been fantastic this season!

 

[2Leetch_94]

The guy is burning down villages.

 

[Barnaby]

Guy is playing like a 1C right now. I’m not saying he is one long term, but he’s playing like one this season. For all the criticisms of Drury, letting Strome walk and signing Trocheck was a master stroke.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

Trocheck had a 6.53 game score tonight lol

 

[McRanger92]

Buchnevich or Trocheck? It was one or the other. I’m happy with our decision.

 

[n8]

How many 4 point games has he had this season? I feel like at least 3 this season. I feel like he's had at least two 4-assist games already.

EDIT: apparently it's his first one and I'm having serious senior moment. He has had four 3-point games however. Not including tonight.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

He’s on pace for almost 80 points this season. Wow.

 

[LaffyTaffyNYR]

He’s on pace for almost 80 points this season. Wow.

while playing very good defensively and leading the league in FOW% I believe or was at one point. He’s been fantastic

Ryan Strome makes 675K less than Trocheck does.. think about that

Strome 34/3/16/19 (45 point pace)
Trocheck 35/9/24/33 (78 point pace)

Loving this season from the guy. He and Quick have made me eat it this season and I love every spoonful.
