Well. Shit. I didn't even see what happened.

I hope they call someone up instead of trotting out the has-beens.

Bad deflection goal aside I actually think he was solid last night.

Physical presence? Oh you mean how he takes himself out of the play (often times missing the hit, at the worst times to throw the body? Yea def worth 8mil.

I liked Pionk when he was here too lol

To make it worse, hit wise Trouba and Pionk arent even hugely far off from each other. Last year Trouba had 173 hits and Pionk had 165. This year is 48 for Trouba and 38 for Pionk. Not claiming Pionk is a bruiser or anything but he’s not exactly a push over either.

Trouba went from being overpaid by 1.5M annually the second he signed the contract, to being overpaid by about 3-3.5M annually. The Rangers banked on progression at his age, and instead we saw no progression last year (he was just solid not great) and have only seen regression this year. I was expecting a step forward this season, but we got two steps backward. And he's wearing an A, which is a joke.

All true, but losing their second-most important defender for a month and a half in a 56-game season is an absolute disaster. Especially when they're already in a losing spiral. This is rapidly looking like another lottery year.

Yeah, I don't care for Trouba, but to act like this is addition by subtraction is pretty crazy. We're already playing Anthony Bitetto, Brandon Smith, and Libor Hajek, now we're looking at those three plus Jack Johnson.

Yikes.

Can they not give Schneider a run of nine games, or is that not allowed?

That's not really what's best for his development long-term.

I saw what happened....Trouba and Kreider got in a purse swinging incident in between the 2nd and 3rd periods. Trouba's bra slipped while he swung and missed Kreider, and strained his shoulder!!

[Sharpshooter]

Well, I guess Shesterkin will continue to get more work in with increased shots against? Ugh.

[Dunny]

Really? To give the kid a short run, with no expectations? I don't see the harm at all. No different than Chytil, and he's more advanced than Chytil was.

Thanks for clearing up Ozzy always a man on the spot.

With the team in its current state, I can't imagine that depressing locker room being a good place for him to be right now. Especially where according to some players, losing his tolerated and doesn't make other players angry enough.

[Sod16]

The fact that Trouba was due for a big contract made it a very bad deal. As I mentioned in another post, if you were to waive him, no one would pick him up. We gave up a first rounder and Pionk for a guy no one would take for free. That said, he's a lot better than whoever we call up from the taxi squad, and now DQ has failure insurance.

I'd rather not, honestly. At this point, just embrace the suck. The season is all but lost. I don't want anyone coming in now trying to fix that who matters in the bigger picture.
