Trade Everyone
Trocheck must be moved. When the Rangers are relevant again in 3-4 years he’s a 37 year old 4th line center.
Carrack would be a horrible trade. He is the heart and soul of these team right now.
Trading Trocheck is simple insanity.
Primary scoring is departing with Panarin… no idea how Rangers replace even that.
Trading Trocheck means giving up face off wins, secondary scoring, grit and leadership.
Given the Rangers sorry record in drafting, developing, trading – just how do we get that back?
Plus the new kids on the block need veterans to mentor them…trade guys who are NOT the problem and all that goes away, too.
Far better to "retool" by losing the scouting staff, the AHL staff, scouts and draft advisors – and the GM.
Trade Trocheck AND Lafreniere for Brady Tzachuck
If you trade trocheck you might as well trade shersterkin
Get rid of Miller been horrible from the start . Make Trocheck capt . For back bone leadership. If Miller is hurt then he shouldn't be playing. Biggest mistake by Drury is big contract extensions without production being part of it if they want more $ then produce more points
Noah Laba looks like a young DeNiro
Morrow is terrible
I like trading him if you add a center prospect in the deal or in Panarin deal. Target someone that can slot into 2nd line center in next 2 years. Maybe sign a vet to hold spot 1-2 years in off season.
Need to come out of these deals with LD and Center that are close (LD really needs to be in a teams system as D takes 2-3 to be effective in NHL).
Firmly against trading Trocheck. Putting the Panarin debacle aside, we have absolutely no one to replace him. Who are we putting/getting at center that’s going to take his place for less money?
Retool/rebuild will absolutely NOT be successful with doofus Drury in charge.
As things continue, we wont have a NYR team to follow and cheer for another five years at best. TRADE DRURY. He stabbed the heart of the NYR with Kreider. He’s now forced to dismember the entire team because of his moronic moves. Any rebuild “retool” needs a center to build around. Trocheck is that ‘center’. He doesn’t have to outlast the rebuild – just get it started. The Stanley Cup for the NYR is another 10 years out especially with Drury in place. We need to crawl before we skate let alone think of a Cup. Wanna really throw the dice? Get rid of Trocheck and all the senior players and make Lafreniere Captain. That’ll force him to concentrate on his game.
He’s still under contract so I don’t know why they would. He wins face offs and scores, keep him until next season and see what happens. For years the rangers had issues with center how they have a good one and want to trade him. Another dumb move by Drury
Let’s just dump everyone to ensure that we SUCK for a long time. Great job Drury and even a better job from Dolan for keeping him.
Tro on the Go. Noooooo!
Have to trade Trocheck, he has the highest value – he would be the #1 center available. He's 32 years old with 3 years left on the deal, you can get really great return. Does anything think we are making the playoffs in 2027 , 2028 ?
So… trade panarin, trochek, schneider, lafreniere, socy( done),
Othmann, zban( if he waives) carrick, and what roster is left? This is not a retool! This is missing the playoffs for the next 5 years.
There was no point in acquiring jt miller if we are going to rebuild the whole roster. Might as well trade him too.
The rangers we're a bad team TGO's last two yearts!!
You've convinced me to trade Troch! Why would a Marquee free agent come here with the way Drury has treated the players here?
Is there actually anyone out there who wakes and has their first thought be about the new york rangers?
Other teams don't want your garbage they want some value in order to give up their high draft picks.
Zibanejad has had a good season so ironically he has more value His contract runs through to 2030, does anybody have confidence that for the next 4 seasons he will maintain this season's form ?
Sullivan and his staff have done a horrendous job.
I’m very disappointed!
See Zorg in the Fifth Element.
Sadly, the rangers being this garbage doesnt give them the trade leverage they probably expect. Ill bet drury is finding real hard to move any of these players no matter how "well" they are preforming. Why trade for panarin now when you can just wait til the end of the season and he walks? Regardless i hope they trade everyone. Picks and youth is what this team needs. Also a new GM!
Please don't trade him he's the most important part of this team
Get rid of the Cancer JT …… Trochek is the heart of the Rangers. Pay him and make him the Captain 🏒
