Description

Really just looking for a general opinion on Jacob Trouba, should we move him before his NTC kicks in or keep him?

Curious to know what fans think of him and other fans across the league think. Given that the rangers have Fox, Tony D, Trouba, and Nils Lundkvist having a tremendous year in Sweden. I would think we would have to create space for the rangers top prospect (IMO) in Nils Lundkvist.

With that being said, I do not know if it is the right move to have 3 D-man under 6 foot playing the blue line, it seems like the NHL is going in that direction when it comes to defense man (IMO). Trouba brings that physical presence that I love.

If we traded him, what would the return be? Really curious to hear what everyone has to say!

Not a Rangers fan but just in general, you don't sign a guy for 8x8 and then trade him one year in. He's not going anywhere. But I have no idea what the theoretical return would be, so I can't help with that part, sorry.

They would be in serious trouble without him. He hasn't been great but for the first couple of months he was stuck with terrible partners. The rangers in general are a horrible defensive team but that wont get any better if they have DeAngelo and Fox going up against top competition. It's never a good idea to sell low on a guy either

I think that he has struggled more than anticipated this year. I think there can possibly be a nagging LBI but I'm not certain about that. In general once we get k'andre or deangelo gets better in the offseason defensively on the left side, I think he will be consistently better.

That contract is a killer, No way is Trouba worth $8 million per for another 6 years or so. Trouba at the most is a $6.5 to $7 million Dman pretty much like Krug. Good luck getting any value for him.

deangelo wont get better defensively. he is an offensive defenseman always has been. He has the ability to be elite in that aspect. but defensively hes never going to get to the point of being defensively responsible, he will always be a liability in his own end.

To the original poster, trouba isnt going anywhere. you dont trade free agents you signed long term not even a year after you sign them. Thats a terrrrible look for a team if they do that.
