It sad that $1m overpay in the cap era is a catastrophe amongst fans

If Trouba continues and builds off last season, it will look like bargain in a few years

Good with the years and money

As Jan said, gotta be something else coming shortly

He’s 25 not 28, I think it’s fair all around. If he was 28 like most when they sign the 7 year deals I’d be worried, at 25 I’m not worried at all

Pretty much what was expected. Not great, not bad just there

This deal has been done for a while. Some fine print needed to be ironed out. Prepare for some moves shortly.....

Around where we all assumed the numbers would come in..now the important dominoes fall

glad this is done. time to go to work gorts

Blog updated with additional information.

nodoubtaboutit.....neveradoubt...knewitallalong

Edm: is under repair ,never know how a 4 for 1 deal for R N H fits

Selling shatty Smith names for 1/2 off the $$ & a sweetner aint gonna be hard

Anything involving your boy? *TPC’s boy

Good deal for you guys, kid is just going to get better.
Provorov better shut up about getting anything more then that cause Trouba the better player.

No talks for a bit now. Will be clarity in next few weeks.

Salary is reasonable, although I think the term may be a little too lengthy. But still a pretty solid deal

He just turned 25. If 7 years is too lengthy for a 25 year old who should get 7 year deals?

Thanks for the update Jan.

Look, I just hope this dude doesn't fall off when he's in his thirties. Obviously that's a ways away but like that seems to be a trend with defensemen. If we get a great 4-5 years with him to kick it off and the last 2-3 are him mentoring young kids and being steady that's all you can ask for. Also in cap era, $7 versus $8, all close enough in my opinion.

In 2-3 yrs, the contract will look just fine based on inflation.

Per Larry Brooks:
Trouba in at $8M per for 7 years...Rangers have approx $1.54M with which to sign Buchnevich, Lemieux, DeAngelo. That trio should account for between $4.75-and-$5.25M.

My response:
Seems light for the three. Buch is the $2.8 or so range, so just $2.4 for ADA and Lemieux means that they basically accept their QO or slightly higher to get them signed. (the QO is around $1 million or so. So if Buch gets $3 million, then each get $1 million since they have no arb rights. Could go slightly higher to build in some goodwill)

Thanks for the update Jan.

Agreed. As said, had hoped for $7 million or so, understood that it was higher.
