2022-23 NYR - Trouba Time

Trouba has a full NMC, why would anyone assume he would be willing to waive it to go to a rebuilding team?

Trouba has an attachment to this NYR group- so not sure he'd waive his NMC...but if he would waive, going to a team on the rebuild would probably be his only option...can't see a team that's "right there" having the CAP to take him on. That said- ANA would be a great fit for him in terms of place to live, direction the team is heading, etc. Big consideration for Trouba would be his wife's completing her MD residency in NYC. This was one of the main reasons he wanted out of WPG- to accommodate her career.

what is the motivation to trade Trouba, so you can sign Coop or Strome?
i'd argue that Trouba is more important to the makeup of this Rangers roster than the other two...

Gentlemen - I am aware of all the clauses you mention. The wife and kiddies too (He's been in New York for three years so the residency constraint may no longer apply -not sure). He doesn't have a M-NTC until 24-25. Got it! What I am attempting to do is gauge interest assuming all the obstacles are put to the side. What teams might express an interest and what kind of an offer they might consider. A hypothetical. I'd be interested in your thoughts. I plan to put one out there for the Breadman too. Thanks for listening.

re: Mike_Gartner - I understand Jacob's upsides. Fox is at $9.5M (deserved), is Jacob really worth $8M relatively speaking. $6M would be more appropriate in my view. I wouldn't need to drop Jacob to sign Copp or Motte or Rooney. But if a take Jacob off the roster I can bring Vatrano (or some other UFA and several others who just went to the semi-final (note: No Strome). Also take a look at my previous post. If Jacob were to leave I move Schneider to # 2 RD, Nils to #3 RD and Zach to #3 LD.
