Friedge reports that he initially heard that NYR was pushing hard & strongly believed they’d be able to work out the deal with DET relatively soon. He was then informed that reports were getting way ahead of things, & that Trouba was shocked & overwhelmed. It’s up in the air.

Darn!
Anyways…
Typical media
Thank god
I wonder if now he’ll change his NTC team list to put Detroit on it if they weren’t already.
Live look at Trouba after he looked at Reddit yesterday
According to reports Trouba was caught so off guard he instinctively started throwing elbows
Me when I tell my homies about the girl I’m taking to before it’s official
Does Trouba make the wing’s blue line better?
If Detroit gave up assets on this salary dump that would be abysmal.
The only way I could see this being worth it is if it was a bad contract trade, like holl for trouba
Lines up with what Darren Dreger was saying the other day about how Trouba was pleading with NYR not to trade him because of some personal issue. Dreger added Trouba would possibly be more open to being moved next season instead.
I think Trouba would instantly upgrade the D — we have nothing after Mo and Edvinsson. Would be a shame if this fell through in my opinion. But Steve Yzerman better be ready to pivot fast on Monday if Trouba kiboshes this deal somehow.
Who knows? Maybe NYR waives and then SJ claims … retains salary and deals him to Detroit. There’s your “future considerations” in the Walman trade.
I think it’s more like Trouba’s wife was shocked and overwhelmed.
Thank god. I don’t want another defender who can’t actually defend. He’s not an upgrade at this point; more of a side step
If NYR is pushing hard they should do max salary retained and also take a bad contract of ours or give us a sweetener
Fuck him and I’m a Michigan fan
We will know by Tuesday
If NYR decides to buy him out if he doesn’t want to leave, he will end up signing with NYI or NJD for his wife?
Y’know, if you look again at that elbow he missed, don’t look at Trouba’s face hitting the glass. As satisfying as that is. Instead look at where Trouba’s skates come down on Necas’ helmet. Look at Necas’ face, he knows he could have been cut badly.
The league isn’t going to do anything serious to curb play like that until a player is disabled like Steve Moore or worse, and Trouba is a likely candidate to do the disabling. Do we really want him doing it in a Red Wings jersey?
I can’t get overly excited about Trouba. I know he is a different kind of defender than Walman, but is he an upgrade? Meh
Trouba won’t be able to get away with the hits he dishes out here. A 2 min minor in NY will be a suspension here.
Thank fucking god. I lowkey hate that hypocritical, CTE peddling, suicide threatening merchant. Okay maybe highkey hate him.
We don’t want him anyway
Trouba can fuck off.
