Well the World Cup is done.
Europe looked pretty bummed for a mishmash team that people said wouldn't care about their team.

Well World Cup over means trouba saga will intensify
Why hasn't Gorton trade for trouba yet? Asleep at the wheel again I see
is J.T. Miller for Brandon Montour and a high pick (2nd round probs) a good trade?
I think it might be, Montour should be pretty good, but not sure on value.
Been thinking about the three way recently.
Framework would be:
Miller to ANA
Fowler to WPG
Trouba to NYR
Fill in cap related moves Rangers taking on a few one ways, give up some ELCs, decent prospects, another NHLer, and maybe getting another NHL player.
Three teams fill needs.
don't tempt me
of course, if we were not smart enough to avoid NMC to begin with
Yes.
OTOH, If we used our financial muscle and ate 2.5 on Stepan, making him 4.0, that would be so desirable that we could force 'peg to make it a package deal that includes Staal and his NMC.
Stepan down to 4, Staal ditto, and Raanta at 1m x2 = 9 in cap hit
vs
Trouba rfa = 0, but they would have to expect to go ballpark 6 just for him on long term deal
Burmistrov expiring at 1.55
and Pavelec, expiring if mem serves like 3.9 something
Another scenario could be we send him to Detroit for Howard at half price PLUS something for our trouble.
1. Trading players before their NMC/NTC kicks in, is bad for business. It tarnishes your credibility during future negotiations. Philly did this with Richards and Carter.
2. Retaining 2.5m for 5 years on Stepan's contract is ridiculous. Salary retention for more than 2 seasons is basically shooting yourself in the foot cap-wise
3. Stepan at 6.5m is more than worth every penny he makes.
Essentially, there are three forwards that are likely available to facilitate a deal for Trouba
1). Zuccarello - probably has the most trade value, as well as the best fit in terms of cap space; also would fit the same mold as Brassard in terms of maximizing his value.
2). Miller - not as much trade value as Zucc, but a cost-controlled young asset. Additional cap space would have to be created. And, while it's only been one game, the signing of Vesey might make Miller somewhat redundant.
3) Nash - probably the most ideal player to move due to age and contract, but he'd have to be moved in a separate deal for assets to bring back Trouba. Not as much trade value as Zucc and the Rangers would likely have to retain money in the deal.
Took a gander at the Jets board, they seem to be under the impression that a vetted poster said something around Zucc to the Jets would happen soon now that the WCoH is over. Did I miss that somewhere?
Zucc and Skjei seems to be something a few of their fans would settle for, but honestly I think it's a bit of an overpayment.
