JACOB TROUBA OFFICIALLY REJECTED TRADE TO DETROIT RED WINGS + BUFFALO SABRES NOW INTERESTED



JACOB TROUBA OFFICIALLY REJECTED TRADE TO DETROIT RED WINGS + BUFFALO SABRES NOW INTERESTED

[Music] so I don’t think this should be a surprise to anybody that has been paying attention to the NHL Rumor Mill but I guess it’s within our best interest to go out there and cover all our bases and just talk about what comes out as it comes out because when it comes to one of the biggest and I mean literally biggest in terms of size on the ice and monetary impact one of the biggest guys on the trade market this free agency period we’ve had a lot to say about New York Rangers captain Jacob trouba big dude solid right-handed defenseman and a player who has been on the market as a trade candidate not because the New York Rangers don’t like him as their Captain not because he’s a bad leader not because necessarily he’s the worst player in the world but for $8 million a year and the services that he provides es you can definitely say that Jacob trouba leaves a lot more to be desired on the ice outside of his physical play and his ability to really hurt people with his elbow Jacob trouba had a really rough playoffs especially towards the end there and a lot of Rangers fans were clamoring about how this guy should not be on the team anymore he is not good enough to justify keeping his cap hit around and despite the leadership qualities that he brings you know he’s a well-liked guy in the room he stands up for his teammates the carelessness within his game is also something that I think Rangers fans have pointed to as well sure it’s nice to have a guy who is physical but if he’s continually getting other people hurt if he’s continually putting himself in suspension worthy situations where’s the value in that regard now when it comes to Jacob trouba because his name was already circulating on a bunch of trade rumors heading into free agency day it was a big shock to everybody myself included when trouba ended up the first week of free agency still a member of the New York Rangers there were already reports saying that he was going to get traded to Detroit that he was on their radar and that the wings wanted to get this guy and a lot of wings fans were reacting to that sentiment in a very negative way hey why is Stevie y going after this player do they really need somebody to take more minutes away from cider etc etc etc but the trade did not go through with this in mind let’s go over to a segment on TSN TV from yesterday by Jay onr he had himself Emily Kaplan on the show as a guest and they had spoken about the Rangers trouba update situation of course this is a video so it’s not really something we can screenshot but instead we’re going to be screenshotting today’s edition of specter’s hockey because La Richardson does summarize the comments made by those two on the show on ra and Kaplan discussed the recent trade rumor swirling around New York Rangers captain Jacob trouba the Rangers reportedly had a deal on the table with the wings however the 30-year-old defenseman didn’t want to do it with his wife still finishing her residency as a medical doctor Kaplan believes that trouba will be in the Rangers lineup when they start the season in October even though it was really uncomfortable over the last few days and weeks she noted that trouba did use his no trade protection in his contract to Nix the deal with the wings so with this idea in mind we have ourselves confirmation from one of the more reputable NHL Insiders on the scene that Jacob trouba was almost traded to Detroit but he himself rejected that notion now as we had spoken about in the video going over why trouba did not end up getting traded in the first place him sticking up for his family and saying that hey I want to stay here in the area my wife’s doing her thing I want her to be able to finish that I don’t want to relocate and have everybody displaced because it would really mess up her own progression in her career that’s totally admirable but as we had been talking about as well Jacob trouba and his contract is only on a modified no trade clause right now which means that there are teams that he is allowed to get traded to but these are teams that he himself is also vetoing trades to by some sort of a way I don’t really think we’ve gotten confirmation as to how that’s happening like how can he ni a trade to a team that he is allowed to get traded to per his mod ified no trade clause a lot of speculation has gone out there and said okay maybe if trouba ends up getting traded he’ll just not report and that would be a violation of the contract and no team wants to have that happen to them so it becomes a lot more complicated when you think about it that way but with this in mind when it comes to trouba rejecting the Detroit Red Wings we had ourselves word from Michael D Roa of the hockey news that another team that is a lot closer to New York than Detroit is is apparently interested in TR as well Michael D Roa of the hockey news has reported that the Buffalo Sabers are possibly eyeing Jacob trouba great segue I know and if you wanted to talk about the connection you want to talk about New York you want to talk about how close some of these teams are the New York Rangers and MSG they are pretty close to Buffalo New York now sure it’s not like their nextto neighbors or anything there is a little bit of distance there but Buffalo New York to New York New York is a lot closer than Detroit Michigan to New York New York and if there was already some contesting from trouba and his party to say okay no we’re not going to do Detroit they’re too far away is Buffalo potentially an option here could you add a Jacob trouba to play alongside of an ow and power for example and really bolster up the size on that right Blue Line having daling power and trouba as a triple threat in your top four seems like a really interesting idea because with Jacob trouba a lot of people will talk smack about his Mobility people don’t like the way he reads the game people don’t like how he chases for hits and some engagement issues as well how he takes himself out of the play by making rambunctious and careless physical moves but if he’s playing with a guy like Daran or power there’s a lot more stability there because those players are very mobile they make smarter reads and they’re a lot more polished up defensively even though Jacob trouba of course has been in the league longer than both of those guys combined it is kind of weird when you think about just how badly Jacob trouba has aged into the contract and how poorly he plays in his own Zone and the interesting thing about this Buffalo Sabers idea is Sab fans seem to be on board or at least some of them do here’s a comment made by principal RK on the saber sub is Jacob trouba overpaid yes does he suck yes do I think we need a guy that will elbow people in the head yes we shouldn’t give up an asset for him but if they pay us to take him then I’m in if just to keep our own team safer Drury has declared that even though they want to get rid of him he is Untouchable drury’s cat okay that’s a funny joke really interesting observation there and a parallel too to the shro iners cat phenomenon there are some other comments here saying no I mean it’s a hard pass that $8 million cap hit would be brutal so I guess it really depends on who you ask but the fact that Sabers fans are not unanimously saying oh no we don’t want that guy like there is an argument to say that he would be a positive benefit to this team that intrigues me and it starts getting me interested as to what the New York Rangers could be offering these teams to unload a player like trouba away we know that this player is not going to be like oh you’re going to trade trouba for a first no you’re probably going to trade trouba with a first for future considerations or something in order to get the Rangers what it is that they want they don’t want this guy in his contract anymore despite the fact that he is their captain and that he is a pretty versatile leader I say versatile leader not a versatile hockey player because when it comes to his on Ice ability it’s really tarnished itself over the past few years here so let me know your thoughts in the comments section below about this entire Jacob trouba idea the fact that he firstly officially rejected a trade to the Detroit Red Wings and secondly how do you feel about the Buffalo Sabers being involved here and the Sabers potentially throwing their hat into the ring as a potential Suitor for Jacob trouba and the next two years of that $8 million contract I say two years it expires in 2026 but you know we have this upcoming season to play through as well so 2 years Sabers fans what are your thoughts on acquiring a guy like Jacob trouba are you in this are you not yay or nay if you’re a Red Wings fan how do you feel hearing about trouba officially rejecting Stevie Y and his trade right there even though a trade seemed to have already been on the table I also wonder you know if the Red Wings were able to get Jacob trouba let’s say they got trouba and a first for nothing does that make the Jake Walman trade more stomach B we had seen a lot of people pissed off about that move there was a lot of backlash if there was a trouba trade with some Assets in return does that make the Wallman trade a lot easier to acknowledge so let me know your thoughts in the comment section below about the Red Wings the Sabers the Rangers if you’re a fan of any of these teams what are your opinions on this situation I hope you enjoyed this r99 and bye [Music]

  1. Screw it.. I'm already over it😅 the Red Wing will be fine.. Stevie-Y has this team all set up.. we have prospects waiting in the wings( no pun intended) 😁 that could possibly even make the team THIS seasson, so..🤙

  2. I think their best bet is to talk to the Islanders. I mean, it's perfect for Trouba since they can maintain their same residence and her career, while being out of the Rangers hands. The only problem of course is that I'm sure the Islanders know this, and would want to make NYR eat as much cap as possible.

  3. I'm glad Trouba rejected the trade. I don't want him in Detroit and I don't mind Buffalo saddling themselves with his contract for a couple years. WIn/Win for me.

  4. Buffalo is 3 hours closer to MSG than Detroit. That’s by car by the way. By plane the time difference is essentially negligible. So if he accepts a trade to buffalo he just isn’t too smart. It would make no sense for him to accept a buffalo trade vs a red wings trade based off of possible standings placement and travel.

  5. Dude is straight whipped. Come home and live with your parents for a season if your wife is so worried about the puck bunnies or you finding someone better. She just doesn’t trust you bro. Usually the athlete leaves his family behind for the season while they move the kids schools, find a house etc.. she’s clearly not down with that. Most Rangers fans hate you Jacob what are you doing rejecting your hometown team

  6. Hopefully this is a lesson to all owners and GMs. The fact that an 8 million a year player that ain’t that good is dictating his terms so his wife can have an extra year playing doctor is crazy

  7. I get not wanting to move your family. But if you want to have complete control of your destiny (Full NMC), than have it put in your contract, even if it costs you some salary. Trouba did not do that. He took the money AND wants to have control. Uh uh. Not how it works, Jake.

  8. I don't think Buffalo is an option. If NJ or NYI were interested, maybe. But when it comes to a desire to stay close to family, stay close to his wife who is in residency? No. It's one thing to be across town. It's another thing to be across the state. Trouba could simply choose to retire rather than report to a team anywhere outside the NYC area, then no one would get him.

  9. As a sabres fan, i would be okay with him as long as they dont give up any assets to get him. They have the cap space, no big name UFA's will ever sign in Buffalo until they are relevant again. They have the room for the contract. Also with the cap projected to go up again next season it would be fine. They already have the majority of their core players locked into contracts I am not counting on Owen Power breaking the bank as his defensive play is really poor. Unless Lindy turns him around this season, i see him signing a 2 year 4m deal as a show me

  10. The only disappointing thing about this from a Red Wings standpoint is if some of the rumors of the trade details were true ie. the Rangers were going to retain salary, take Justin Holl in return and were going to include a draft pick. Even then I don't know that most Wings fans would have been happy with the trade anyway.

  11. The fact that the wings considered adding him is very concerning. Even with salary retained it would have been a senseless waste of cap. Could have just kept Hronek and made the playoffs by now if you're willing to pay Trouba. Only way the trade would have made any sense is if NY was throwing in a pick/prospect
