Friendly reminder, no swearing in the comment section please. This is a family show lol

[@robertmascioli5632]

Trouba needs to go by trade, buyout, or waivers. I don't care how it happens but needs to happen.

[@timetowakeup6302]

This

[@louispeddiltton47]

why? waivers? youd sacrifice a great trade just to see him gone? youre a terrible fan. he has done so much for this team. youre a joke.

[@timetowakeup6302]

@@louispeddiltton47 Trouba is bad at hockey

[@warthurn]

Hard to makes sense of this SNAFU by the Rangers. If the contract included a clause about his wife then why would Drury get any IDEA of trading him? Unless Drury didn't read his contract. And there are several lawyers covering maneuvers like this. How did the trade to Detroit specifically get leaked if there was a spark there? Larry Brooks is not a lazy reporter as far as I can tell, it was his article I believe. It seems most likely that the trade was all set and not on Trubas list etc. But Trouba didn't want to break up his family situation. I dont blame him for saying his family is more important to him than his career at this point. In that case Trouba could be sour on the whole deal and basically said " I ain't goin nowhere Sorry about that!" Anyway, that's the only sensible scenario to me. IDK. It's really unfortunate this occurred. It would be best to Trade him for sure. It could have been accomplished...perhaps the Islanders would be working close to home....LOL

[@philreinfried8419]

Truba is a professional athlete and this is part of the sport … Truba screwed the team and Drury… wave him … how can he come back into the locker room

[@donsullivan1137]

Trouba’s cap hit is $8 million for the next two seasons….. his actual salary is $6 million for each year because of front loading the contract. If there was something in his contract regarding his wife the Rangers never would have asked for the no trade list. I think it’s time for the Rangers to end Larry Brooks’ access to the team. He has caused nothing but problems , the Goodrow situation and now with Trouba.

[@louispeddiltton47]

i agree. larry brooks is a freaking jerk. he just starts all this hate towards the team he says he supports. where is the support? they literally took home the pres trophy, and the whole time so far its been, hate this, trade that guy. like... what? where did this ass hat of an opinion come in? every freaking year. we deal with this shitty ass attitude and negativity. im getting really sick of this being the "public opinion". none of these clowns even watch the games i swear to christ.

[@humanbeing2420]

7:09 I read Brooks to mean that even if the Rangers trade Trouba to one of his approved teams (a team not on his 15 teams list), Trouba may not report to that team. Because he wants to remain in NYC with his family. He would be in breach of contract and wouldn't get paid, of course, but maybe he's willing to bail on his hockey career now. His doctor will be making doctor bucks soon. It's not like he absolutely needs the money.

[@shawnlewin9057]

Very balanced take. What a weird situation. Ultimately Trouba has the right to block a trade to 15 teams, but he must report if he gets moved. Right now he’s holding the Rangers hostage by threatening to not report if he’s traded or claimed. The league needs to talk with him.

[@louispeddiltton47]

did you say that about fox? no? stfu hypocrite. trouba is a benefit to any team he plays on. and he has a 5 year contract through this year. i think you need to think more.

[@franktrig]

Glad his wife's business is more important than the business of building an NHL team. Ridiculous. 8 mil. for a 3rd line D man. I believe it's this issue that cost us a much needed winger.

[@louispeddiltton47]

he is way more than a 3rd line. schneider isnt even a 2nd line yet. you are so brainwashed its like you didnt even watch the games all season. also, he has a 5 year contract, and youre all like "oh we can break it." NO YOU CANT. SO STFU AND STOP TROLLING and if you arent a troll, think and use your brain before opening your mouth. youre filing this world with your bullshit.

[@SNoCappidona]

Didn't know we signed trouba's wife to a deal too. When she going to lace the skates up for us?

[@shawnlewin9057]

Blame Trouba. Don’t blame his family

[@SNoCappidona]

@@shawnlewin9057 I didn't blame anyone. I don't care whose fault it is. The whole situation is absolutely ridiculous.

[@louispeddiltton47]

he has a contract. what? the rags can just dismantle it? suck it up? you are so worried about his wife you cant even handle the truth. i hope you stop calling yourself a "fan" because you arent one.

[@hardware1197]

Waivers for Trouba then make Trocheck The captain. (Lines) 1: Krieder, Trocheck, Lafy 2: Panarin, Mika, Smith

[@louispeddiltton47]

waivers? you will put an obvious great trade deal on waivers? please stop talking like you know how hockey works. you are a fool. and an arrogant mean no hearted person. trouba hs done nothing but be loyal to my team. and he has done great things behind the cameras too. and we got the pres trophy, and made it to the conference finals. youre a spoiled person.

[@Henry-nq6ig]

“Did I just say that?” had me laugh out loud. I don’t blame Trouba - he’s thinking of his family first. What men would criticize that. But, Rangers got to make the best business decision for the team. What professional athlete would criticize that.

[@Agentsmith212]

i thought of that - what if the nmc language is tied to the residency so in effect the NMC still stands. which is why the team would want to leak that they have a deal on the table. secondly i was watching a video by a former players wife who was saying that these agents make these ntc lists so that all the teams with cap room are on it so effectively a NMC.

[@whitegd4100]

Honestly sounds like a problem for him and his wife to figure out.

[@louispeddiltton47]

youre a joke of a fan. actually, you def arent a fan.

[@mattvillano7126]

The list of teams he can be traded to probably include all local Rivals as well as the remainder being teams with a solid D-core who wouldn't need a defenseman of his caliber. Waive him.

[@JetsWBB]

JT forced the Jets to trade him at a bad time for the Jets. NYR took full advantage of the situation and are now on the receiving end of the full JT treatment. Ironically the Jets would currently like to move the Pionk contract too.

[@10.11.9]

I was vehemently against trading for Trouba in 2019, but Rangers fanboys saw different. They pissed away yet another No. 1 draft pick for a player they can't rid themselves of. The franchise is a cruel joke from the very top to the bottom.

[@mattvillano7126]

Marc Staal was better at Trouba's age.

[@benyang2427]

If the residency was so important & time sensitive, then why did they decide to have a kid during that period? Makes no sense to me. Trouba cares more about his lifestyle in NYC than actually being an effective hockey player while getting top dollar compensation for his job. That much is obvious.

[@markdenicolas5997]

It doesn’t matter if they told him or not or what team he could just not report to a team he doesn’t want to go to

[@mattvillano7126]

He can buy plane tickets with all those million$.

[@LuisaCoraluzzi]

It’s been reported that his contract had a clause stating that his wife could complete her medical residency(3yrs). This time frame will be delayed until 2025, since she is out on maternity leave.

[@hardware1197]

So is it also possible JT was playing compromised as hinted at and might be rested and healthy and tighten up his game and continue to provide the leadership he showed two seasons ago? Nevermind.....

[@jasonthieme8926]

He can compete against mid and low level teams. When it counts he is way too slow and takes too many penalties and makes mental errors.

[@mariobuttino6095]

Sounds like the Lindros saga.

[@bxbigshot1809]

I’m going to be realistic this team is maybe 5th 6th in the east we will make the playoffs but that’s it this is a waisted year hopefully I’m wrong

[@Pojo-tq4zk]

Ask his wife obviously she's running the Rangers

[@shawnlewin9057]

No Trouba makes his own decisions. Right now HE runs the Rangers and Drury cannot allow this to continue.

[@louispeddiltton47]

there is a contract that cannot be borken. im not sure why everyone is picking on his wife. its like you have no idea how a contract works. so you spout whatever crap you want and its wrong, but you all act like its right. like, jsut stfu alreayd. stop insulting the mans wife.

[@whitegd4100]

Can we fire Drury yet?

[@tedjob21]

Drury is still cleaning up what he inherited, give him a couple more years.

[@RobEffbrady]

I still miss Zuccarello ! loved that dude !!

[@tomalaia2383]

Trade him to the Islanders for a bag of pucks, then you have the cash for Zegras and Tarasenko….

[@juans3728]

He makes a lot of money so she can live where she is at and finish he residency and he can still be traded so where in the contract would any one be breaking the law.

[@JohnnyReno71]

I don’t care I just want him gone!!! It’s not that he’s a bad player but he’s not worth $8 million. They just better learn from this mistake. STOP over paying and gives out no movement clauses. Save the money, see how the season for and get whatever we need in the season

[@TRONMAGNUM2099]

Doubt anybody will sign Trouba after this contract runs out. Not worth the headache. Still hoping something with the Isles or Devils is in the works so we can have an amicable split.

[@timetowakeup6302]

No chance

[@chronokenny8499]

Gotta be honest how much of a difference is it going to make if he is in Detroit. Still not going to be around hr whether in NY or not during season. 1 season apart while she stays in Ny whoopty dooo. Bunch nonsense from Trouba

[@jasonthieme8926]

Hard to know whats really going on. Seems like Larry Brooks really dropped the ball here and trusted someone he shouldn't have bc im sure no one wanted this drama. Jacob Trouba is rich. $40M from NY alone. Retire. Get a nanny. Figure it out. I like Trouba but he is preventing the team from getting better. I also liked McDonagh, Callahan, Buch and many others . Ill get over it after a few wins. I have partial season ticket package. I spend a lot of money on this team and I EXPECT the best product on the ice.

[@DonPeppinoo]

LOL!!

[@johnharmon536]

This is completely embarrassing. You can't leave the captaincy with Troubs now. The Rangers absolutely screwed this badly.

[@louispeddiltton47]

they made the conference finals. and won the presidents cup. you are a spoiled brat.

[@ChristopherJRich-Pisces]

I knew I’d come on here to listen to this dumpster fire😆

[@mattvillano7126]

Send him out of the division to Buffalo. Short plane ride.

[@Mike-mx1bw]

He should be mercilessly boo'd every second he is on the ice at MSG if he is still on this team come opening day. He absolutely screwed our last chance to be good before we're in cap hell. The worst example of a leader I’ve ever seen. Just a dirty elbow throwing bum

[@allenmanwaring9536]

I think too many people rely in information from people like Larry Brooks and Elliot Freedman. Their speculation is often times wrong. Stamkos wasn't leaving the Lightning either was he. I think Truba is going to stay, their normt going to trade him giving up something and retaining salary. For the gain if the trade, it simpky doesn't make sense business wise. If he steps up his game, he is worth keeping another year.

[@whatupdoggy44]

It’s a long summer but so far they’ve continued to be embarrassing trouba is trash and so are most of the players and are gm screw this damn franchise

[@Stevedrums741]

the issue that continues to dog the Rangers organization is that they bring people into the organization expecting them to be things that their personalities and prior careers say they aren't. I am a Trouba fan. I like his old-school grit and his willingness to go into the corners. Things that the majority of the Rangers refuse to do. Treating him as they are and knowing that Goodrow wasn't happy with how he was treated is telling me more than I need to know about the way they continue to run their organization. I had hope when the 'Sham' Sather finally retired, but I think the stench of Sather and his style remains. I also question the club's direction when it was apparent to anyone with a pulse that the Rangers lost because they didn't have enough grit, balls, edge and fire. So why Drury wanted a reunion with someone who is small and shies away from physical play (Kane) continues to baffle me. The fact that they came away nearly empty handed also confuses me. I have to wonder what the direction of this team actually is. Because right now, I don't see a thread of consistency or direction.

[@mikepanick9362]

before trading or waiving trouba, you need to make sure your replacement is actually equal or better. the window for decent replacements has largely gone.

Not a really big ask player wise. Leader wise maybe but this calls into question his awareness. Rangers are trying to get better. He is single handedly preventing that. He should retire if his wife residency is that important. I think he can afford it
