So Kane and Stamkos were seen golfing with Larkin the other day, cue the Stamkos to Detroit rumors and the Kane extension.

I guess Larkin didn't give Stamkos any Mulligans.

His wifes final year of residency in NYC and they have a 6 month old. She can't leave. And she'll probably divorce or cheat on him if he leaves her alone with the baby for a whole year, in the middle of a high stress job.

Guy should probably block Detroit and try to see if he can get traded to NJD, Isles, or even Philly.

Good drama. I hope it lasts

I doubt that actually. The rags are desperate for every bit of cap space they can muster. A 3 mil Dman is not something they want coming back right now. Even after Trouba is gone probably. 

There would have to be assets going back, presumably a dman. Maatta is the cheapest and only has 1 year left.

Indeed and he could leave certain teams that are at the cap 'off' that list knowing that these clubs are likely not interested in his services nor could they afford him.

Trouba is probably  going to be a NYR for this upcoming season.

And I love seeing the Rangers stuck with that contract.

"Future considerations"

If anything goes back it will be Holl who they can buyout at a $1.3 hit

As of today, he has a 15 team no trade clause. Detroit would presumably NOT be on his list if he wanted to leave NY. However, since he knows there were talks beforehand, he could put them on his list just so that he doesn't get traded, if he wants to stay in NY.

Ha Ha Ha If Chris Drury wants to be a prick, He can put Trouba on waivers and send him to the Sharks like Goodrow and he has no say. He's definitely gone next year because Drury needs to give Igor Shesterkin his 8 x $12,900,000 or so that he's seeking.

BREAKING NEWS: The NHL makes history as Kelly Trouba becomes the first ever hockey wife to have a career/family. 

"This is new territory for the Rangers and everyone in the league." Chris Drury told TSN. "Our in house counsel and the players union are reviewing the CBA on the matter as we speak"

This could complicate trading Trouba for the Rangers. Traditionally NHL players only wed drunk in bed all day sleepy wine wives. These women were normally so drunk and full of xanax they wouldnt even realize they were in a new home in a new city. 

Will the Rangers destroy this historic family and shatter a boss ***** queens career just to save a petty 7 million dollars? 

More to follow as the days unfold.

He can rot there for the next year, Kelly has Jacob wrapped around her little finger.

All the more power to Kelly.    Figure out your contract to reflect/protect your family dynamic.   I can't blame her at all.

Why is BigRigs so pissy about Trouba?  Fk that guy.  He's a turd. Been a turd for a while now.  Best to let him be NY's problem for another 2 years.  We don't need to add an 8 million dollar albatross to our roster.

Oh I certainly don't want him lol

This is fun to watch though, because this is an absolute nightmare for the Rags. If they can't move him they are going to have to move several other guys they don't want to. I don't think even SJ will pick up his contract on waivers right now.

Doesn't a team have to give up 4 1st rounders to get him if they pick him up off waivers?  Forget about that.

Tarasenko is an upgrade over Perron. Other than that this team got worse. 

Fabbri will be replaced by the rookie learning curve of Berggren. 

Gustafsson is a worse version of Ghost.

One of our better defensive D, Walman, is gone and will be replaced by the rookie mistakes of Ajo and/or Ed. 

Yzerman didn't fix the net (again) he just tossed another 37 year old backup goalie onto the heap. 

Only way this team performs is if we see major progression from a mix of Veleno, Ras, Ed, Ajo, and Berggren. But especially Ajo and Ed. Or Yzerman grabs a quality Dman this summer.

You are so misguided on Simon Edvinsson, it's sad.  Did you not watch the AHL playoffs where we won all our games with him in the line up and lost all the games without him?  It's like Killer whale in a backyard swimming pool obvious how good Simon Edvinsson is.  Replacing Walman with Edvinsson on the top pair is going to help Seider tremendously.  The problem is going to be replacing Edvinsson on the 2nd pairing.  Until ASP-Johansson is up an running, this 2nd pairing is going to struggle.  Maatta-Holl will prove to be an awesome third pairing, but if Chiarot and Petry make up the 2nd pairing, they're going to get torched.  It was blue whale in a backyard swimming pool obvious last year who was on the ice when the opponent was at their best.  Next year, these 2 are just going to be older and slower.  If the SCAM is going to stick to Chiarot and Petry in the lineup, this team isn't going anywhere.  They're rally killers.

Multiple trades have fizzled out for Rutger McGOATry because of his demand to play in the NHL right away reportedly. 

Kienan Draper needs to talk some sense into this kid.

Yeah no team is guaranteeing him a roster spot on any team. Even playing in college. most players need at least one year in the minors.

I could see a team like Edmonton picking him up to be an ELC cost saver. McMcGOATry. 

[stephen-gregory-yzerman 129]

Where would McGroarty rank among our prospects? He was picked 6 spots after Kasper is he ahead of Kasper? Is he ahead of Danielson? Mazur? Id like Yzerman to step up and get him but whats his floor/ceiling? top 6 winger? top line winger?
