The Jacob Trouba Situation Is UGLY! Who Will Be The Top Line Winger? My Thoughts & Opinions!

[@alexandergustafsson4245]

Wave him. Bye bye Troubs

[@richardmanginelli2624]

BTW; I have absolutely no faith in Dreary 4yrs and did nothing to fix 1RW Traded away 8 draft piks in 3 yrs with nothing to show for them. How did Mikkola look at 2.5 3yrs winning a cup

[@timetowakeup6302]

The buchnevich trade still hurts

[@johnrhatigan8652]

It’s a results business! Play better! If you want to stay here.

[@kevinmaguire4437]

lol relax 🧘 it’s all out of our hands. We will be fine.

[@chrispritchard898]

Everything you’re saying about Truoba . 1000 percent agreed . I think his wife is the one behind this trade . She very happy practicing medicine in nyc

[@Justme77400]

He’s cucked by his wife. She comes before the team. He at the very least is not captain material.

[@nyr4life]

To be honest, I think this a NYR culture problem. Here me out, everyone knows the history with the NYR, original 6 Franchise, big ticket market...etc, but in all of that lies a major problem and personally I don't know if it can be fixed anytime soon. The major problem being that when a player, especially a big name player comes open to the market, Rangers are always linked and in the mindset of players and there agents is $$$$ big money. The culture needs to change, the Rangers need to be ruthless and start running the team like a business, screw feeling, screw comfortability. The notion needs to change that players come for a big payday.For example, the player we are talking about. Jacob Trouba should have never got 8 mil from the Rangers and when he was thinking of signing 6 years, he demanded that he wanted 8 or not signing. What Rangers should have done is say this is what we will give you, take it or leave it. Another example, Barclay Goodrown. He wanted a big deal and Rangers overpaid for him, and this not anything new, this has been happening for years and years and years. Rangers need it to stop. The organization needs to change it and do things differently. Rangers need to show that players asking crazy money for what they are not worth need to stop. Rangers organization needs to be ruthless.

[@donsullivan1137]

I think that Trouba’s injury disclosure after the Rangers were eliminated pissed off Drury and Laviollette. Made them look like idiots for continuing to play him.

[@gamecraze8133]

They could have put them on long-term injured reserve. Just imagine what they could have done with the $8 million dollars!

[@MrHyde11976]

What do you mean? Laviolette played him with an ankle broken. They both could eat shit

[@dumpybear8664]

Why would he turn down Detroit? Perfect trade for him on an up and coming team. I’m glad at least we know he’s gone one way or another. Good man, not a great player (anymore)

[@rangers11ization]

I was also shocked when our 8 million dollar captain on the 3rd defensive pairing threw himself in between two panthers players and let Bennett score with 40 seconds left in the 1st period of game 6.

[@bocephus124]

He’s staying because of the cap hit ,

[@mondoseguendo6113]

positive value? you mean as an organ donor, right?

[@SamWesting]

If things do get uglier, Trouba could get the Tony DeAngelo treatment at MSG. Sad that would happen to an ex-captain, but whatever.

[@Justme77400]

The Igor situation, him wanting 12 mil per season, has me seriously concerned. If he gets that we can forget about winning a Cup for a while, at least until his contract expires.

[@brandonwoolf7921]

trouba and stamkos will follow Kane to the red wings haha

[@AB-jr9ny]

Trade him to the Islanders so his wife will stay happy working at the local hospital.

[@stephengreico2810]

How or Why would he want to stay at this point? He's hurting the team in more ways than one.

[@loganreifsnider3182]

Agreed 👍

[@georgecampbell1453]

The best thing Trouba can do is get traded why would he want to stay with this SHIT SHOW. He’s the reason they lost. Wake up Drury is the worst , how many deadline’s you need to see Drury is horrible.

[@lordrayden3045]

So quit think g about it Just waive him You sound like a cry baby

[@stephenarrigo5679]

I want Bertuzzi or Monahan...Best fit for production, age and our salary cap space.

[@lordrayden3045]

He has a no trade clause? Then he’s perfectly within his rights to stay

[@lordrayden3045]

“He’s not going t be here next year” Ok…… so get bought out and then go where you want? What’s the problem? This is on the rangers not him

[@richierich398]

As a wings fan, I’m glad he said no to the trade

[@joechriste7052]

I second this.

[@Megan-19]

We definitely didn't want that crybaby in Detroit.

[@Luka-nl7nz]

He’s ridiculous. He should’ve read the room way earlier then this and at least have been aware that there was a possibility he wouldn’t return.

[@BrodieBr0]

2:35 if Trouba is so delusional to use being hurt as a scape goat he needs to go all the more. His ego to be the ''tough guy'' and play while hurt is single handedly one of the main reasons we got eliminated. His play at 100% is third paring level at best, and if he thinks he's good enough when hurt he needs to come down to reality. I'm sick of this nice guy crap. He may be a good guy off the ice but you can say that about 99% of hockey players. This is a business with the goal to win a cup. I've been a Rangers fan over 50 years and we've had one cup in 84 years. Clearly things aren't working so I'm all for a change of being more ruthless and making every player on the team feel like they need to play their best to keep their jobs. That's how it should be, that's what championship teams do.

[@andrewbranchaud9029]

Don't forget the stupid penalties, especially in big moments.

[@BrodieBr0]

@@andrewbranchaud9029 Exactly! Seems like every time we get momentum, here comes Mr. Flying Chicken wing to take a penalty and crush it. Also, Can't keep him at that cap hit. He hurts us off the ice too since his cap hinders us from bettering the team and re-signing actual good players like Igor and Laff.

[@johnmandato344]

I know RW 1 is priority at the moment but I really hope we pick up Zadorov

[@Agentsmith212]

This is why naming a captain has to be strategic. if he might be taded in 2 years whats the point. imo it needs to be laf with a next deal

[@orlfane1622]

The players watch video of the games. How does Trouba not see how bad he is playing. How is he not ashamed that he is taking 8 million dollars a year from his employer and not playing worth a shit. How can this be a surprise to him.

[@nyr4life]

Kane signs with Detroit for 1 yr deal. Guentzel and Kane off the board. Stamkos or Marsceallult is now Rangers best option via free agency

[@TVForces]

Stamkos to Detroit

[@benyang2427]

Rando Western Conf fan chiming in here...yeah sad part about Trouba is that his ceiling has always been HIGH! Sadly, he cares more about his NHL lifestyle in NYC than actually reaching his potential...could've become the US version of Pietrangelo but nope.

[@timetowakeup6302]

Trouba is a dumb hockey player, and he’s slow. Bad combo for a dman

[@loganreifsnider3182]

At the end of the day we all know it was a really bad contract and naming him captain.

[@dumpybear8664]

Although naming him captain does give him perceived value to other teams. He has no real value.

[@johnnyred8902]

What's the problem with these athletes and their complaining? This is part of the business they are in and they are paid A WHOLE LOT OF MONEY! I'm sick of hearing multi millionaire complaining about stuff which is part of the business they are in. GOOD FOR DRURY AND THE RANGERS long over due

[@ChinStudios]

The moving your family thing is a lazy argument. I don’t get 8 mill a year to suck at my job💀

[@jamesbedus7382]

I’m in on Tyler Bertuzzi. Kane if the price is right.

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

TB Yes Kane no way JS.

[@richardmanginelli2624]

Zadarov comes in at half price of Trouba and hits every shift not once a month

[@DarthStevo]

Think he turned down 5 mil per year with Canucks...but I want him too

[@SeanK1998]

His deal instantly screwed us w the flat cap. Now he’s tryna screw us again by blocking trades you can’t make it up. What a nightmare that signing turned out to be!

[@rangers09891994]

He will be gone regardless of a trade, buyout etc.

[@stephenarrigo5679]

Kane to Detroit and I am SO HAPPY!!...Bring in younger guys with some jam please!!...And you know what this proves, he didn't want to be a Ranger and I found him underwhelming when he was here...I want guys that want to wear the Rangers Red, White and Blue!!

[@Megan-19]

Kane is a badass, you sound ridiculous.

[@chronokenny8499]

His wife being a dr complicates this and I still can't believe this dude was handed the C. Thinks he is untouchable bc of that and gave him the idea that he is way more valuable than he truly is. What a mess. Just get this guy the hell out of here.

[@Megan-19]

Keep him, Detroit doesn't want that crybaby.

[@Chas_Murph_]

I wouldn't be worried about RW. There are several options out there. Maybe not as sexy as Jake or Kane, but there are options. I feel there is no need to make a bad long-term decision at RW right now. This roster is a playoff team right now. We can address things later if needed. As far as Trouba goes, like you said, his lack of self-awareness is hilarious. His wife can practice medicine in any city in this country and have a great career.

[@JosephPetrizzojr-v4p]

Just call him and tell him yo pack your bags and hit the road jack and don't come back, trouba sucks period.

[@paulvolpe1274]

"all i know is I have a massive headache" hahaha

[@andrewbranchaud9029]

We can't afford him and continue to add pieces to the team, we don't need another Wheeler! If you're asked for your list be smart and make sure there's places you want to go on there. Be a professional too.

[@ProjectMerljn]

The thing that bother's me most is that moving/trading/buying out Trouba means you no longer have that "snarl" on your back line, in particular on the Rangers where we are lacking that sort of hardline guy. Say what you will, but we need a guy to pair up with fox that can lay hits /stick up for the team. So if we move him, whose going to replace that?

[@loganreifsnider3182]

Drury will have to find a hard nosed guy who can play a tough game 🤷

[@BillyAu]

They have a physical but nice defense, that other teams know and would love to see the train go. He does bring energy and big hits during the long boring regular season at times but not worth it at 8 million.

[@alouie001]

Rempe and tanev if we get him

[@timetowakeup6302]

Trouba is BAD at hockey. Hitting guys doesn’t make up for the fact that he’s a terrible defenseman who takes a ton of penalties. Trouba is making 4x more than he’s worth. Get him out of here

[@Rodneyschaffer3214]

How can he block it if they weren’t on his no trade list? Are you saying he heard about it then put them on?

[@MPDLR]

One of the most cogent, normal, well spoken sports videos I've seen - thanks. Sheesh after hearing all this do I - a desperate Detroit fan even want Trouba?

[@timetowakeup6302]

Trouba is bad

[@MPDLR]

@@timetowakeup6302 How so?

[@Improvise1013]

fucking guentzel to the lightning of course

[@justinlevine3936]

Fucking Florida teams

[@michaelmarro1011]

I hate Trouba

[@bron175]

BTW Guentzel is LEFT winger not RIGHT winger

[@boxingfan5555]

He wasn't coming to ny anyway, rangers can't afford a guy like him, I want the rangers to sign marchessault

[@andrewbranchaud9029]

😆👍

[@gamecraze8133]

He doesn't want to move or go to a team not in contention for the cup, so this is going to be interesting.

[@kevinfrances1694]

Jacob is selfish

[@kevinfrances1694]

First off this is what Tampa does it's not the first time remember lacavier

[@stephengreico2810]

How or Why would he want to stay at this point? He's hurting the team in more ways than one.

[@pjpredhomme7699]

He has to go - at this point - when you burn a bridge that badly - you don't want that especially in a place like NYC .

[@andrewbranchaud9029]

The longer it takes to move him the harder it will be on the team, all the major targets come off the board, then who are we going to get?

[@dee7487]

Lightning acquires rights to Guentzel from Carolina for a 2025 3rd pick.

[@Clinton-nt6qp]

Hey great video breaking it down, I can’t read all the comments it’s a lot. Bottom line like you said it’s a business and if you put your shoes in his place it’s more than likely a combination of him feeling he’s not finished here and his family. If his wife’s doing good in NY then that’s what there trying to hold on to for the benefit of themselves. The Rangers gotta do what’s best for the team and if they can’t meet in the middle then it’s going to be ugly. Can’t wait to see what unfolds but spot on regardless, trouba is not 100% and hadn’t performed on the ice so he’s gone and not going to be a part of the team.

[@mariovaccarella6854]

Great Video, as usual, Evan. I think that he has to go, so, it's My Patrik Laine/Jacob Trouba Trade (package) has to be A Reality

[@joansico3837]

He can't be moved to his list of teams till july 1st at noon w/o his permission

[@sierramodre1]

On a whole I like what Drury has been doing; I think he finds a solution here that works… On another note, I’d be looking to put package together to get McGroarty pronto, asap

[@loganreifsnider3182]

The whole "moving the family hassle" situation... him and his wife make over $8 million a year. They pay ppl to pack up and move them lol. All they have to do is board the plane

[@u.s.m.c.fewproudthemarines2987]

See what happens tomorrow. I think they're going to Fuck up on Free Agent day 8 i doubt will be traded now. JS

[@John-ny5vh]

Love Trouba! Keep em

[@michaelmarro1011]

I can’t stand Trouba.

[@bobbyganoosh929]

And yes agreed Evan I’m also very annoyed at how Trouba is handling the situation like grow up dude your holding the team back and it what world would you assume that you were untouchable or that you would finish your contract after some of these horrid playoff performances it’s not personal you just don’t bring enough to this team and your eating up way more money than your play deserves

[@pjpredhomme7699]

TRouba went to Michigan - Detroit has a lot of ties to Michigan players - Larkin I am not sure if they played together - Copp - although he might be part of the trade for him . The deal will get done .

[@Torgo1969]

Dirty Trouba is unwanted here in Michigan, IMHO.

[@Mike-ix5sv]

​@@Torgo1969I cant disagree that he's dirty, but his snarl, just being mean is exactly what Detroit is missing. The way teams have taken liberties with larkin over the years, and now raymond, a guy like trouba would make opponents think twice. I think alot of wings fans will happily turn a blind eye to dirty nature of his game in exchange for the positives he would bring. My positive outlook is predicated on what the trade looks like and how much $$ NYR retain.

[@markreppa7636]

Another Petry disaster if stupid wings get trouba.

[@joechriste7052]

​@@Mike-ix5svno, we wouldn't.

[@GeoffreyDwyer]

When he’s gone, put the C on Krieder

[@michaelmarro1011]

In my opinion, Definitely not him. He’s not captain material. A Captain should be the guy that does what we it takes to win and improve the team. No matter what it is. Lead by example Kreider doesn’t do that

[@andrewbranchaud9029]

That's who should've been captain in the first place!
