Valriera Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 There is a set of circumstances where that happens but it's really, really unlikely and not in the rangers' interests at all. So basically it's a load of bs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Carp is such a fucking idiot and I wish they'd hire anyone other than this boomer to cover the Rangers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonybologna Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 That's, strange... He has a NMC and no way he waives for Buffalo. 3-team trade? If they could get someone with a NMC to waive I’d prefer it be Trouba. I really like him too but that contract is awful and we have tons of D depth in the pipeline. But yeah this is just a really dumb thing to tweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not positive, Tony but I think Trouba's NMC becomes a Modified NMC after the '24 season. By then I think Schneider and Robertson will be ready to play his role, and possibly have a little experience as well. Both of them could possibly get a little more acclimated to his role by playing with him for a few seasons as well, so I can dig a couple more seasons with Trouba. I also am curious to see what Trouba plays like with Gallant at the helm. I keep thinking there's a lot of untapped aggression in him that can be unleashed. I believe Trouba is going to have a sensational season this year! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 That's, strange... He has a NMC and no way he waives for Buffalo. 3-team trade? Carp has been a rough read since the front office changes. Whatever connections he had seem to be gone. With that said, I could absolutely see Zib out to a team like Vegas or Minnesota (to play with Zucc?), and for a number of reasons.The biggest one being that moving Zib out means hardly any young assets out that the Rangers are presumably reluctant to move. I would have to assume it'd be a pretty even swap of Zibanejad for Eichel on their end. Perhaps a guy like Zac Jones and a pick as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's just become even worse after the change in the front office. A 3-way deal like you describe certainly suits the Rangers. It becomes a question of whether you prefer the younger player on a shorter deal, or to re-up Zib with the health and potential tailing off issues that comes with it. I'm torn tbh. But if Eichel is healthy it's not crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindG1000 Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 If Eichel's healthy, you pick Eichel. No question. Love Mika but that next contract is going to be an albatross basically as soon as it's signed. Eh. Maybe. If he signs for 8/70, it's probably just fine considering that the cap will have eaten a good deal of the overhead by year 6 (approximate 2027-28 cap is ~92M?), which is where that might get really tough - but at that ticket, he's moveable. If he signs for 5/50 - probably just fine too - he'd be 34 at expiration and that's exactly where you'd want him to start thinking walk and it's hard to consider a 5 year deal, even at that tag, an albatross if you're getting around that same point-per-game production rate the non-COVID Mika is capable of. It's where you get into something like 7/80, when that number starts looking like Matthews, Marner, Panarin and less like Kopitar/Toews/Kane that you're in a little bit more hot water.

Love Mika but that next contract is going to be an albatross basically as soon as it's signed. Reading and hearing more about the disk replacement surgery, I think I'd take my chances with Eichel. I don't think it should cost more, or much more, than Zibanejad though. I don't think there's any question Zibanejad has more immediate value for next season than Eichel, but long term I think it tilts Eichel's way.

Not really, but if it's an eight-year deal, like most eight-year deals, you'll want out by the time the players is around 34-36. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 In this case, you'd want out after watching him in R2 of any given playoff adventure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am very excited to see him under Gallant though. That goes for a lot of players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That goes for a lot of players. You're probably right about that, but his deal was signed before the flat cap, and I think we did go a little on the overpayment by about $2 million. I'd really love to see Trouba make us eat our words this year. The guy has the size, speed, and ability to be a Norris candidate....I hope we're gonna see it this season.
