Gorts really blew that Trouba contract...
After Trouba (for a few years) forced his way out of WPG- all in the interest of aligning with his fiance's medical career interests- I didn't see the necessity of a top dollar contract AND a suffocating NMC. Who could have known the havok the pandemic would impart on the salary cap...but even at the time of the signing it seemed that he was overpaid 1.5 - 2M per.
Beyond Trouba though...wouldn't take this lineup as NYR screwed...I mean- same lineup that started last year- except Reaves, Carpenter, and Hunt replaced by 3 rookies. Not optimal for sure...but in this Cap era, no team can fill out their roster with expensive UFAs.
