8m. A little high, but we finally locked down a D man going into his prime, instead of after.

so this puts us over the cap right? I can't imagine this deal would be finalized unless a trade has been pretty much agreed to so maybe more news incoming

[Dunny]

I don't like it.

 

#1 money for a #2 Dman.

 

At least 15% overpay.

[Gravesy]

I’m 50/50. I really like the player, but it’s really high.

I think that must mean Kreider + Strome/Names are definitely off.

[Albatrosss]

Fuck thats a lot. Would’ve been happier if they did 8 yrs/$7 per instead

I don't like it.

Rangers always over pay by 25%. So thats good for them.

6.5 (which I think would be around where he should be) x 1.25 = 8.125

 

most importantly, 1st + Pionk.

I cant complain about 8m, yet. Wait until game 3, though.

can't do 8y. They could have done 1y, then re-signed in January. But Trouba is NOT a person you want to negotiate with. His notoriously annoying when it comes to contract. Just getting rid of that stress is worth the extra $1m per season

Again. Name me 31 Dmen who are better. Name 20 who are better...

 

This "not a #1 dman" thing is beyond old. By what criteria are you basing this off of?

[Fatfrancesa]

I like trouba and hopefully he lives up to the deal. The rangers seem to have a constant stream of bad contracts. Once they are finally getting out from one they are already invested in the next one. Hopefully this isn’t the case but he’s not a number 1 guy. At least he hasn’t been yet. The extra million here and there compounded by buyouts and they will have problems.

I do agree with this. But then again, I think they probably would have given Pionk $4m, soo....

[Albatrosss]

Any no-trade clauses?

You’re probably right. And you are right about them pretty much always overpaying. Still doesn’t mean I can’t hope they don’t. I wonder how much of it because of the taxes here or because the rangers have always been known for being loose in the wallet? Maybe both.

 

Anyway I do really like trouba and think he could get better, but damn that’s a lot for him. Expected though.

Nothing for 2019-20 (cant during RFA years)

Full NMC for next 4

2024-25: Player submits a 15 team no trade list;

2025-26: Player submits a 12 team no trade list

That's a bit steep. Better be worth it.

[ThirtyONE]

It's exactly what it was rumored to be from the beginning. Exactly.

 

How can anyone be surprised.

There was a range that was rumored from everywhere I read (7ish-8), not an exact number. This is at the very top of that range. So yes, I'm a little surprised they couldn't work him down some. I find it hard to believe Trouba went in asking for more than 8 and worked his way down. I think the Rangers were forced to blink first here given the amount of moves they have yet to make.

[Fatfrancesa]

I’m surprised because with the ntc involved I would hope that would bring the aav down some. Seems like trouba got top dollar and trade protection to boot. Whatever.

[Sod16]

At least we can ditch him, including a trade to Ottawa, if we don't feel right about this after a year. That's an escape hatch that would have come in handy with a lot of our other big contracts.

If the Rangers want to get rid of him after a year, then it means he didn't really live up to expectations. If he didn't live up to expectations, I'd have a hard time believing that contract is getting moved. So that no protection the first year kind of confuses me.

[Dunny]

Why would you give up two good assets, only to buy out and arb year and STILL pay top bean *and* hand out a NMC too.

 

I don't get it. I don't see much value here. This isn't the guy I'm building a defense around, and at that price, that's exactly the case. Why not bridge him?

[Zuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuc]

3rd most points by a D under 25 with lesser PP time than most of the others. Signing him for his entire prime years (25-32). 7,5 or 8m, dont really care. We signed a really good player for a long time (the 2nd one this off-season), I dont really understand how people can complain about this.

You're giving Trouba 20% more money than Morgan Reilly, who is 10 times the player.
