Vincent Trocheck would IMPROVE the top 6 — But what would it cost?



Vincent Trocheck is 32 years old and has 3 years remaining on his current deal with the New York Rangers. For some, that might be a turn-off, but the center has been a highly productive center his entire career and brings a much needed physical element to the team. But how much are you willing to give up for an aging 2C? Also, the Men’s OIympic bracket is set.#LGRW

  1. I don't really see the need for him. I'm not saying Copp is a great #2 center because he's not, but he does fit/complement Kane and DeBrincat very well. That is the best line on the team. This will be an unpopular idea, but if they bring him in, then he should be the #1 with Larkin moving to the #3rd line. That's not to hate on Larkin, but he is not a championship level #1 center. He is a very good #1 center. He is a championship level #2 center. There is no need to break up the #2 line… it is playing great. Larkin had a hot start. I think it was like 15 points in 10 games. Since then, he has been way under a point a game clip, and he has never been a point a game guy in his career. Raymond is driving the top line, not Larkin.

  2. Anyone who thinks Trocheck is in any way comparable to Copp or Compher just doesn't know what they're talking about. At all. No comparison

  3. Don't give up any blue chip prospects for a less than a point per game aging vet aav doesn't matter. Picks or depth prospects are fine

  4. So what are we looking at here? We only need two pieces to be complete. But would trocheck if acquired get you to the finals? I don't think so. There's 25 games left he won't get you to the Stanley cup this year. Patrick Kane May retire. I'd rather take EP 40. He's younger and Lucas Raymond and him have good chemistry. Then bring up some of the prospects next year.

  5. Brain is so back in the first 10 secs dropped his penn and awkwardly asked how being away from him wouldn't be. Nice to see you back haha

  6. Dudes 32 guys wtf are we even talking about here? He will be 35 when his deals up. Yet another terrible take. Is he better than Copp and compher yes but you’ll be played by the rangers if you give anything valuable for Trocheck

  7. Absolutely not. That would be making a move just to make a move. At this point I'd rather just wait it out.

  8. Perhaps a contending team that needs some scoring depth would be more suited for an aging, less than point per game player.

  9. How motivated do you think Trocheck is to play D, on this version of the Rangers. He would be re-energized by the Winged Wheel, and he would look awesome wearing it! LGRW!

  10. I mean calling someone who is 32 as “mid-30’s”???? So Brian is technically in his mid’s too then 😂. Trochek is on the Olympic team. Isn’t that pretty telling about his talent? He’s clearly not the same player as Compher or Copp.

  11. People talking like we don’t need more offense and acting like 32 is ancient. I could see if he had six years left on the deal, but it isn’t like that. With the cap moving up, people need to recalibrate what salaries mean. The salary isn’t bad especially in this cap.
