  1. TLDR:

    * No indication the Rangers will buy out Trouba

    * Sources are “divided” on whether the Rangers will Trade* Trouba.

    * Chris Tanev is “extremely well regarded” by Rangers

    * Brooks kept using the word “menacing” and physical about defense.

    * Multiple “indications” that Kakko is being shopped to move up in the draft along with Rangers pick 30.

    Personally I don’t like Brooks but I know some people do and feel he has a decent pulse on the team. Do with this as you will.

  2. If we keep Trouba I think it is less of a vote of confidence and more to do with the buyout/trade/salary cap implications.

  3. Superrandy

    If the Kings can easily move that insane Dubois contract then we can move Trouba. If we don’t it’s because we believe the player is worth it. I’d move him and use the money elsewhere.

  4. Krispyford

    There were times this year where Trouba looked pretty good for decent stretches of time. And then there were games where he looked like he didn’t even belong in the NHL anymore. It’s hard to know which guy is going to show up next season. He isn’t worth $8,000,000 a year, but if he can at least play solid 3rd pair minutes without costing us games, I’d rather just deal with him for two more years.

    And really, it’s probably just one more year. He can easily be traded after this coming season as a veteran with playoff experience on an expiring contract. The Rangers retain 50% for the rest of that season and he’s off the books in the summer just in time for free agency.

    We don’t want to tie up cap space with buyout money when we’re in the Cup window. I want as much financial flexibility as possible to make big moves. We’re not going to get lucky like we did with Goodrow to SJ again.

  5. Please move on from trouba. The money we save is more important than what he brings to the table.
