Wait, really?

The Rangers would be going to jail for sodomizing the Jets if they got Trouba for Brady Toomanyconosants and a 1st.

My thing is the Rangers can't afford to go another year without a first round pick. The signings of Hayes and Vesey have put a band-aid on that situation. However, they do a RHS d-man in the worst way.

I think Trouba is young enough to warrant moving a 1st for him. You're essentially just fast forwarding the development of a 2017 1st round pick and guaranteeing that he will be at least "pretty good". I think it'd be a no-brainer.

That said, it's definitely not enough to get him.

Ho Sang and Beauvillier were selected in the Rangers spots.

Can't speak for any of the others.

If a first rounder was used to acquire Trouba, the Rangers would be acquiring a 22 year old player. They aren't trading for Zdeno Chara.

I get the desire to keep first round draft picks around, but the age of the player being acquired has to be considered in the calculus. I swear, if the Rangers could acquire Austin Matthews for this year's first rounder, some people would female dog about giving up the pick.

they'd probably take a RHS with the first round pick, so what's the difference

And the rockets red glare, a bunch of Hos in the air, gave proof through the night, that Ho Sang was still there.

Is it definite? Are they moving to Brooklyn for sure? My friend works at the Carvel in the lobby and he thinks they may stay.

They should've kept Nielson Martin and okposo and at the same time have Chimera and Ladd.
