In New York, rumors are growing regarding the future of Jacob Trouba. The Rangers are exploring all their options this summer, with general manager Chris Drury as aggressive as ever in trying to take the team to the next level and ultimately reach the Stanley Cup Final. Among these options is the possibility of parting ways with their captain, Jacob Trouba.
Trouba is set to go from a full no-move clause to a 15-team no-trade list, starting Monday.
This means his future with the Rangers could be reevaluated, especially since Trouba remains a player who has. great value on the trade market despite his $8M salary impact, as his contract only has two years remaining. Teams appreciate his intensity, leadership and toughness, which makes him an attractive player on the trade market.
On the New York side, the leaders would be fed up with his indiscipline and would find him more and more overpaid, he who is very limited offensively. He remains a defensive defender who hurts, but who is not worth $8 million per year.
Among the potentially interested teams, the Detroit Red Wings stand out. GM Steve Yzerman absolutely wants to improve his blue line and the Wings could be an ideal destination for Trouba, who is a Michigan native.
This could represent a homecoming opportunity for the defenseman, even though his wife is a doctor in New York and that was the reason the defenseman wanted to move from Winnipeg to New York.
Trouba was extremely criticized during the playoffs, and he even came out publicly to admit that his mental health had affected him. Coming home might be the best thing for him
And the Red Wings don’t stop there. According to TSN, Detroit is very aggressive for Steven Stamkos, while Yzerman would like to find the player he appreciates so much.
Pierre LeBrun reports that Tampa will have to improve its offer by Monday, otherwise several teams will be ready to talk with Stamkos, including the Wings.
Among them are the Nashville Predators, who are desperate to improve their offense. General manager Barry Trotz seems determined to make a move if Stamkos becomes available, although he would prefer to stay in Tampa if possible.
In any case, things are brewing in Detroit.
Trouba, Stamkos…Steve Yzerman is on every shot…And he wants to hit the home run.
Definitely the team to watch. Detroit freed up some cash with the Jake Walman trade this week. They are believed to be among those preparing to shake up the transaction market…
