If he came to the Red Wings. And played like he didn't want to be in Detroit. The trade would be a big mistake for the Wings. I don't think the Red Wings want to be known as a team breaking up a family. Stop the trade. The Red Wings can look at other options.

Horrible look for the Rangers franchise to be putting this whole situation public. There was an article saying some of the players have realized this is starting to become a trend (Goodrow, off ice employees, and now Trouba). Not surprised at all no one forced there way to NYR in free agency..

How? They have a business to run. They went out of their way to take a major loss, to send him back home to family... so he couldn't continue to use that crutch. Guy is worth tens of millions, there is nothing that his wife or son will miss out on. Skype and FaceTime still work just fine. You fell for the agents PR. Maybe if he signed a reasonable contract, this wouldn't be an issue. My wife was in college when I 1st got sent to Iraq in 2003. My kids were 4 and 1 when I got deployed in combat last in 2014. I knew plenty of dudes that did their 20 and never got deployed. Life doesn't always seem fair, but you suck it up and get stuff done.

​@@americanadreaming as they say, it takes two to tango. The Rangers shouldn't have offered the terms of the contract if they weren't prepared for this possibility.

"Chicken Wing" Trouba's fall from Grace has been swift and harsh.

Rangers have to hold onto the worst Captain in the NHL for one more year. 🤣

NYR will still want to unload him. Detroit still may be in play but really they are going onward with a different direction for their defense now.. But the trade price for a team to take on Trouba's contract just went up. Maybe NYR also has to add assets as an incentive.

Sounds like the trade will happen next year

If Rangers end up keeping Trouba maybe this will have shaken him up enough that he plays at the level he is being paid. If not then he needs to be grateful to be able to continue to play anywhere in the NHL.

It's one of those things where he is free to not report but it is a really shitty thing to do when you agreed to the contract... If he didn't want to get moved he could have gotten a no move clause

As a rangers fan, the nature of this going public before free agency left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth, I’m not sure who leaked it, but we are in a position where not only should we unload him, we now need to incentivize it further if we want other suitors.

It doesn't matter as to why he doesn't want to be traded to ANY team that's on his NO TRADE LIST. He doesn't need to qualify his reasons for not accepting a trade to any team in that list. THAT'S HOW CONTRACTS (are supposed to) WORK!

@Mike-ix5sv

Ай бұрын

This is correct, but it's the order of events that is weird and suspicious. Timeline of events. 1. Mid last week it was reported that new york asked him for his 15 team list. 2. The rumors of a trade came out at the draft. 3. Saturday it was reported that he was shocked and upset that NYR wanted to trade him. 4. We find out he nixed the deal to Detroit. This does not add up. How can he be shocked that ny wants to trade him when they asked him for a 15 team list?? Further, why would NY negotiate a trade with Detroit in the first place if Detroit was on troubas list of teams he wouldnt go to? One of two things happened. NY negotiated with Detroit prior to receiving troubas list and assumed ( incorrectly) that he would be ok going there. Or trouba modified his list to include detroit after he caught wind of the trade. From all reports it isnt just that he doesnt want to go to detroit, but that he doesnt want to leave NY at all. Well, that's not an option, all he can do is work with NY on a suitable destination. Strong arming NY into keeping him would be not honoring the terms of his contract aswell as creating enemies and bad blood within the organization

Let's face it, we just witnessed the underhanded way the front office dealt with Goodrow when it served THEM.
