The guy has a NMC and basically ended up in NY specifically because that's one of the few places he was willing to sign a deal in the first place. He's not going anywhere. And frankly...that shouldn't really be that big of a concern to NYR fans. He's a good, impactful, all-around Top-3 Defenceman, and the best thing they've got, despite some wonky analytics "insights".

It’s much harder to replace the skill of DeAngelo & Fox than it would be to find a shutdown Dman, and that can be found for a LOT less than 8 mill. Lindgren is a tough cookie, Miller is a monster, DeAngelo can throw hands with the best of them. I don’t think we’re too soft, and if we traded Trouba for a LD I’d be targeting a big, defensive-minded guy
I went from an ADA hater to a pro ADA guy, but he cannot "throw hands with the best of them" he's tough but he's small. While he may KO the Kyle Okposos of the league, they are far from the best of them. ADA has to stay in his lane or the real tough guys in this league will serve him a plate of piping hot reality. He's not Tie Domi.

His girlfriend is calling shots here, so offers have to be send to her.

I've got an offer for her.

Doesn't he want to stay in the New York area because of his wife becoming a doctor ?

Even if you could trade him, it would have to be in that area.

The only reason Trouba chose New York was because his wife is going to be a future Dr there, That's the only reason.

Yup, He's not going anywhere.
This. Guy is a legitimate 1B d-man. He got better as the season went on. In the play ins he was the best D we had. He is the only big minute eating D rangers have currently. But because of Fox deangelo and nils in the system and to some extent skinner NYR fans think it would be ok to deal him. He plays against the best in the world every night and does a good job insulating the youth. Fox and Deangelo had such great seasons because of trouba taking those match ups. Plus he has a mean streak which we need more of not less. He goes nowhere barring an ugly divorce. The key is finding a mobile good decision making partner to pair him with ( like josh Morrissey) to maximize his talents. Hopefully Robertson or K’Andre Miller can be that guy

Posters thinking this idea is simply NYR Buyer's Remorse likely just havent watched NYR closely, to see how we got here.
In the short season after Trouba joined NYR, DeAngelo finally delivered a season consistently performing to his talent and gumption, Adam Fox arrived fully ready for NHL from college hockey, and NYR'S top RHD prospect Nils Lundkvist had one of the best seasons of any D man outside the NHL.
So many think Trouba leaving won't leave too huge a hole, and would allow using that Cap hit elsewhere on roster. All possibly true.
But I also believe that Trouba playing his many and tough minutes helped place ADA and Fox in position to maximize their impact and production.
And i expect Trouba to more consistently effective following his 1st season in NYC, many athletes go though a bit of challenging transition coming into such a new environment (obvi not always, thank you Bread)
It will be a gamble if NYR move Trouba
