Why is he gone?

Gm and panarin rift, gets panarin moved to a place of his choice, return doesn’t have to be legendary, just not a ton of cap back.

Re: saysthemachine - Because I believe someone will slip an offer sheet in front of him that he can't refuse and the NYR will be unable to match because of the CAP crunch situation. If they can get him back at $2.25M-$2,5M for 2 years, I'm all for it. Losing Kappo to a competing offer sheet is the premise of my proposal.

re: Birtle34 - If you are correct, rift or not, I'm on board 100%. My the is Retained salary at 25% just Under #3M. I'd love to move Trouba, but his wife still has 2 years of medical residency to complete. It was a stipulation of his NMC. But if they don't lose one of these contracts, the can forget about the conference finals. Not enough supporting cast. Like the way you think!

I think they’d trade him before the offer sheet window tho. They’ll get more that way. They’re not stupid enough to let him leave via the offer sheet

I’d put the odds that he’s traded like 50%…he signs a bridge deal with the rangers at 35 %…offer sheet and can’t match at 15%

SlimTJ100 - I agree. Whatever happens they have to try to keep him in the fold or get the best value they can.
