Thread: Any Fit Here
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KINGS67</b></div><div>To me, Anderson Dolan isn’t going anywhere. He has always been pegged as that future 3c and he’s doing exactly that. Also, I don’t see Kupari going anywhere, as of right now, unless the kings are getting a better asset than Jones/robertson</div></div>

I mean with the C depth of the LAK, Kopitar, Vilardi, Anderson Dolan , Byfield, Turcotte, Kupari, Tyler Madden, Akil Thomas ... i don't know how many Centers you can play even if you move Kupari &amp; Thomas to the wing .

Zac Jones even with a high offensive ceiling is probably too similar to what the Kings have in the system as far as undersized puck moving D man.
The same reason the Kings would be interested in the bigger (6'4) Robertson is the same reason NYR wants to hold onto him.
Dont think either organization "needs" to make a deal currently so forcing one doesn't make any sense.
Trading Robertson for say Akil Thomas as presented above, doesn't add enough value to NYR, even though they are an organization with a shallow center pool.
Money coming off the books, may attack it UFA (Danault?) or make a move for a C (Eichel, Stamkos?) via trade.

Thread: Assessing trouba options
A) I don't think NYR have any designs on trading him in the short term. If he was moved or asked to waive his NMC for a move at the earliest it would be 21/22 after all his SB money is paid out. his MNTC kicks in 24/25.
B) Trouba doesn't have sexy offensive numbers but he's getting the the tough assignments of the the other teams top offensive lines, he allows Fox to not get those assignments, especially at home &amp; thrive on the offensive side of the game. Against the CAPS on the road who did Laviolette try to get OVI out against? Not Trouba. (this is not a knock on Fox but trying to show the overall value in a D core) Last season especially it allowed Fox &amp; DeAngelo to play more sheltered minutes &amp; focus on the offensive side of the game, heck those 2 barely played any minutes on the PK last year, &amp; now Fox is looking like the complete package but Trouba's presence in the lineup is a plus factor in that progression. Trouba is like having an excellent Left Guard in (American) Football. Not a lot of stats to track &amp; no fantasy value but you need one to win. Not saying he's played up to that contract, but the stats don't quite tell the entire story unless you watch this NYR team every night. He's also the leader of that very young D core.
Fact is, JT was getting 7 @ 7- 7.5 no matter where he ended up so, until the younger RD's (Shcheider/Lundkqvist) prove they can play in the TOP 4 &amp; PK &amp;PP, Trouba's more than likely not going anywhere.
