[@Shroomster491]

I completely agree that hating him because of his wife is dump, but the only person to blame for that is Trouba himself. He left Winnipeg on bad terms and one of the reasons he had to go to New York was his wife's residency. And now again the rumour is his wife's residency as a reason why he doesn't want to be traded. He seems like a stand up guy for taking his wife's career into consideration, but to me it looks like he jeopardising his own career in the meantime. His NMC turned into NTC on July 1st and he signed it. So unless I'm completely wrong he agreed to the possibility of being traded to the teams not on his no-trade list once that kicked in. No one expected covid to happen and he is not the only one affected by it. Players get traded and a lot of them are not even asked if they want to be traded and id bet that none of them want to move away from their families.

[@TheMediumChannel]

Yeah, as a Rangers fan I'm really annoyed. Firstly on the positive note he's an impact player that forces opponents to keep their heads up when he's on the ice. That is a valuable assest. Apparently he's a good leader and on a team lacking hard hitting losing their most physical defenseman would be big, also he has a good shot when he uses it and obviously blocks a lot of shots (partially to make up for poor positioning and excessive turnovers)... ...that said playing with an edge and reckless play are different very different things. Clearly Trouba has gotten slower, less effective, always a turnover machine that can't make a freakin breakout pass to save his life and that offense that lured the Rangers to spend a head scratching 8M per vanished when he put on the blue jersey, and now with decreased efficiency the borderline and dirty hits are up to overcompensate for his declining play, penalty minutes are up...and the team is handcuffed...we can't even get Vlad Tarasenko who'd like take a discount to come back to NY because there is no cap f'n space! No option for a top right winger...round out the D....and if we can't get rid of this guy by the deadline next March say good by to future superstar K'Andre Miller.... Trades are part of the deal...he's getting paid 8M, freakin deal with it already! Time to move on

We love Trouba. We don't love his cap hit. The fact that Drury has actively tried to move him shows they don't really want him on the roster, and as a player that would usually make him agree to a trade and go to a team who wants to pay him to play. At the same time, his wife works in NYC and that was a reason he agreed to sign here from the start. I'm not a husband or a father, but I think anyone who is can agree with what he's doing here and putting his family first. It's an awkward situation, in which the best result for him is being moved to a rival team nearby and hurting the Rangers by doing so. The best result for the Rangers is to get him to accept a trade outside the NY/Metro area, but I don't blame him one bit for sticking to his contract and putting family first. It will certainly make things awkward if he does return as a Ranger, especially as the captain, but if I made even half the money he does I would not care about being booed at work. Shit I'd take 5%

[@girhen]

The way contracts work in the NHL can be annoying when you're on the receiving end of something like the Nurse or Trouba contract, but I like that the players have more security for a contract than the NFL, which regularly cuts contracts. A player can struggle to demand more money, but NFL teams can yoink at pretty much any time. It feels one sided that one side can underperform and be cut, but overperform and... just be stuck. The NHL sets terms and sticks to it. Part of negotiating 4+ year contracts is considering those what-ifs. Shorten them up for safety or offer incentives instead of solid contract. Do a bridge deal if there have been 1-2 good years. Trouba came off 50 points and the Jets couldn't come to terms and dealt him. Good eye on their part to see they shouldn't jump on a great year as clearly sustainable performance. Very good player, but not holding as much value as he held out for. I feel like Trouba is going to game the system a hair, but that's just part of how it works. As much as he'd probably hate to live in Edmonton (too far away from NYC, cold), I bet he knows they don't need to put another overpaid defenseman on their roster and won't include them on his list (and if he's wrong... cup contender!). Sharks are garbage right now, so easy pick there. Whether or not he wants to play for Islanders or Devils, they'd be close enough to home that he could let them be targets for his family's sake. Effectively, there might be 5 teams in far off locations that he doesn't want to go to that might take him, 5 places that want a veteran that could that he doesn't want, and finding 5 more teams that might take him could be a tall order. Tough to trade, and I'm guessing that his value on the roster is still more than what the Rangers would get back after accounting for the buyout penalty. In the end, Rangers are getting what happens when you buy high, and the Jets are enjoying the return of selling high.

Torts: "I'll bet you got beat up every day on the school bus". Brooks: (blinks)

The dog after 12 edibles

[@danielnam9026]

The dog has the BAU BAU look on his face. If you know, you know what I’m talking about.

[@joebojanic1905]

I heard that Detroit was trying to pick him up. Not sure where thats going.

[@rix911]

Why is it irrelevant what his personal situation is? There's a lot surrounding this player and the more transparent everyone is about information the better off we all are.

[@JamesGibson-iz9el]

He brought it up, it's the excuse he gave for wanting out of Winnipeg.

[@Desert-Father]

He left Winnipeg on bad terms too. Just sayin'

[@ShibaInu154]

@@Desert-Father How about giving a reason rather than "just sayin'"?

[@Desert-Father]

@@ShibaInu154 Because the reason he left Winnipeg is the same as this one. He used his wife's work situation to deflect criticism and undergird his hockey related reasons.

Dude is cucked. If I'm a $8mill/yeae NHL stud. I'm marrying someone who wants to stay at home and raise my newborn child.

Drury is the AH.....Not Trouba.

[@Storm74.]

For once trouba isn’t the ah

[@past-tense-of-draw]

@@Storm74. trouba only ever is on the ice off of it hes a great guy

[@Nuclear_Onion]

I mean I can't blame Drury for trying to send off a really bad contract. Unless they went out of their way to have Brooks write that article, who knows.

[@brutalplanet1708]

Not happy with what he did to Goodrow either.

[@brutalplanet1708]

@bulletboy4111 Ya, Troubas ANDD Goodrows contracts may be rough, but he's doing them both dirty and they both deserve better. They're both getting treated like crap. Not to mention no other holes were filled. He just created two more things to worry about.

[@robertwells6724]

In my opiniom, Brooks is a bad reporter. Most of his articles are trash.

[@Uncle_Troy]

Where's Torts to give Brooksie a little bit of verbal abuse in retaliation for the dumb stunts he's pulled over the years as a journalist? 🙈

[@petermills-c1h]

Journalism is a profession. Not sure the term journalist should apply to someone who is just a hack writer.

[@eric31593]

Im not a huge fan of trouba as a hockey player but man some of these comments lack basic respect

[@ryankvopka931]

As a fellow devils fan who’s not big on trouba for obvious reasons if he really doesn’t wanna leave because of he wants to put his wife’s career first and he’s able to do that because of his contract then that’s his right. Rare time I support trouba but that man deserves better

[@ffghfdsgfgdgsfhgsf]

This dog is so SO SO CUTE

[@powwowken2760]

Do people forget what a contract is? Like yeah, if Trouba gets traded and doesn't want to move he doesn't "have to", provided he's willing to get the ever living s**t sued out of him.

[@Xirik-Alansei]

Has there ever been a life long Ranger player? they seem to throw their players pretty easily. they were the Golden Knights before they existed.

[@Pksubbaru]

nice shoresy reference

[@mike3384]

As a Ranger's fan I don't like Trouba because apparently when he's playing injured and in pain he makes dumb playoff game costing penalties.

[@rodbelding9523]

If he's exercising his no trade clause, that's within his right to do so. The Rangers have only themselves to blame for giving him that contract lol.

[@peanutdimitrijevic9577]

Trouba is a clown bro, 3rd pairing d worth 8 mil, that’s worse than the Nurse contract.

[@Knights97]

Is manner gone and ur the best/goat of KZbin

[@Wayf4rer]

Trade clauses don't mean much anymore, teams will just work out deals to force you to waive.

[@amanasd26]

like how? i suppose they could use brooks to bully or bench the player but if the player doesn't want out , buyout is the next option.

[@joansico3837]

His dog is cute 😂

[@RoyalMela]

1:12 I am sure Aimo Koivunen is born again as Trouba's dog.

[@pkake1319]

We should keep their personal lives out of this. Except, they are human, so at least understanding they have a personal life is important.

[@TjayK2]

His dog looks like a demon in that photo

[@bryancook1235]

this is the kind of toxicity that will sink a franchise for awhile

[@ShibaInu154]

Oh please. Rangers will be beyond it by October. Their fans won't because the typical Rangers fan is at home in a cesspool.

[@richardzink6026]

Why can't they just meet and restructure hus contract

[@jwinak9146]

Why should Trouba volunteer to give up money the Rangers committed to pay him? Would you?

[@dandaddeadbeat8788]

$8mil contract and 16 teams on a no-trade clause? Those journalists need to find out who his agent is.

[@dumdawgpro]

google it its not that difficult to find out.

[@ShibaInu154]

He's the guy who gets like 500k a year for negotiating it. . .

[@johnkc4775]

As a Jets fan forgive me for enjoying some schadenfreude. Trouba was NEVER a stud #1 but he and his agent negotiated as if he was. Trouba is just another lesson to GM’s to research the product before you open the vault. He was a good partner to Morrissey but he was the tag along with
