IMO: keep Trouba, trade Miller
Buy him out !!
rangers not given Lindgreen a ridiculous contract they they will end up regretting. He’s a great player but he’s hurt a lot . No more then $4 million a year or get rid of him
Rangers are not buying out Trouba. They have 2 more years with him and if they buy him out he is on the cap for 6 more years not worth it. They will have hime come back next season and if he does not play well they will trade him and pay half the contract remaining on the final season. Common sense needs to be applied here.
Buyout would mean 4 million in dead cap for next two season and then 2 million in dead cap for the 2 seasons thereafter….I think they can find a trade partner, especially if they dangle Kakko or chytil or a first and take back 1-2 million in salary the first year
Buyout Trouba save 4m
Release Lingdren save 3m
Resign Schneider bridge deal 2.4m
Trade Goodrow and prospect for Kiril Marchenko 1 RW
Sign Henrique for 3C
Sign Toffoli or Bertuzzi 3rd or 4th line
Sign Zadonov to replace Lingdren
Stanley Cup
Trocheck or Lafreniere for Captain
Why on Earth did they name him Captain?? Perhaps they were trying to get more out of him. His style of play isn't conducive to longevity.
I'd rather use Ty Emberson of the Wolfpack
They are not buying him out period and truthfully it’s pretty dumb to think they will
For mailbag episodes: you should do an episode on the rising salary cap and how Drury should use it. Should he spend to the cap this offseason and maybe get Guentzel? In other words go 100% all in jeopardizing the future or save and prepare for Shesty and Laf? This would require another budgetary free agency with no Guentzel no Marchessault etc.
It's time to get rid of INCONSISTENCY and start looking for CONSISTENCY. I am fed up watching over paid professional hockey players play terribly bad what kind of practices do they have? they play lost.
Looking to dump a bad contract?
Trouba and Miller on the same line just does not work and this has a lot to do with Trouba not being a play maker he is slow and undecided. Miller on the other hand likes to feed and make plays and we have seen this during the season. Being a captain and a leader you protect your players and commend their play and makes sure the team as a whole have no issues and Trouba never did this. To be a Captain and leader you have to have COJONES and be FIRM.
trouba not going anywhere edstrom-cuylle-rempe line next season go rangers
Trouba is a IDIOT and he's the Captain.
I totally agree with you Jon
Please!!!
Trouba needs to be replaced, doesnt matter if its a buyout or a trade, just please replace him!!!
If buying him out in fact results in a $4MM annual charge against the salary cap (I've read elsewhere that it's $2MM), then a buyout effectively reduces the Rangers' salary cap by almost 5% and they get nothing in return. That's nuts. They won't do that.
I can’t take this organization seriously if Trouba is still a part of the team next year honestly
Common sense, trade Ryan Lindgren, too small, always hurt, zero offensive upside, unable to carry the puck on a breakout.. Ans stop with the stupid Tough as nails, that means nothing….
TRADE TROUBA TO UTAH, THEY NEED DMEN AND HE IS A BIG NAME
Trouba ain’t going nowhere he’s damaged goods and he’s now a third liner wake up.
hes a rat – every playoffs he chickenwings someone, looking to injure them
I would think they could trade him and eat 2mil, only 2 years left
A trade of trouba for a low pick 6th, 7th round and trying to avoid salary retention is only option main focus should be shesty ,laffy,lindgren contracts. Hold on to gustaffson .You can blame trouba he played like shit, but miller made plenty mistakes that cost goals panarin great season but looked bad against florida.. Goodbye wheeler, roslovic, wennberg,ruhwendel. Try to land Brett Pesce and if trouba is moved sign bertuzzi one year .bring up z.jones 7th D
Lines;1 panarin trocheck laffy
2 Kreider Mika bertuzzi/necas?
3.Culley goodrow kakko
4.othman ,c.stephenson/wennberg? othman.
Wishful thinking…….
