    If you make 8 million as a third pair dman, you better be the best third pair dman in the league

    Never gonna see a cup in my lifetime 😭

    Just looking at the headline, I’d have to guess that was put out by Trouba’s camp, no? Or Brooks is just making shit up lol Need to read the article

  4. Incredible no one wonder we haven’t won a damn thing in 30 years. This makes us look amateurish.

    I promise I’m not the worst person on the planet (bad preface … I know!)

    But a wife who has a job and a 6 month old child is not an “excuse” to hold a $5 billion dollar business’s decisions hostage.

    I do not hear cries of outrage for random AHL Joe Schmo who makes $80 grand and has to uproot his family across the country every year.

    Jacob Trouba is NOT a victim. The family dynamics are a big inconvenience for sure, but one a guy with a $64 million dollar contract to his name sure could stomach a lot more smoothly than any of us could.

  6. I’m sorry, every player faces these issues when being traded, spouses jobs, kids in school etc… what exactly makes Troubas situation special here? He now has a M-NTC. Ball is is drurys court.

  7. “There is no guarantee that Jacob Trouba would accept a trade even to a club on his approved list if that means leaving his wife and nine-month-old (as of training camp) behind.”

    What’s this mean? He’s allowed to reject a trade to someone on his approved list?

    Fans are going to rip this guy apart next year when he inevitably plays like shit again

    Hey does everyone remember those articles calling Drury such a cutthroat and he was determined to shake things up

  10. nyrangerz30

    Get ready for another season of Trouba getting caught out of position, hitting the boards with every shot, and fail to make simple outlet passes again. Surely he won’t be bad at the same things he’s always been bad at!

    Why do we care about his wife ? He is not the only player to ever be traded. Other players family members leave their jobs, family, and friends. I don’t feel bad for her or him. Boo hoo.

    >“There is no guarantee that Jacob Trouba would accept a trade even to a club on his approved list if that means leaving his wife and nine-month-old (as of training camp) behind.”

    What the fuck does Brooks mean by this? Trouba has a no trade *list*. If a team is not on that list, there is **nothing** Trouba can do to stop the trade from going through. Does he mean Trouba will threaten retirement if traded? I legitimately want to know what Brooks means by this. Because that might be the most incomprehensible thing he’s ever written, which is saying a LOT.

    If he doesn’t move trouba after this fire Drury into the sun

  14. JPmoneyman

    What the fuck happened to “Trouba is 100% done, the decision has been made” ?

  15. OrdinaryMongoose9104

    Can you imagine what the building is gunna be like if he is on the ice opening night

  16. MUSTY_BUSSY

    At this point how can you move forward with him on the team? This player is an active detriment to this team.

  17. This article basically contradicts everything reported on this “situation” in the last 48 hours. What the fuck is going on.

  18. alldatJuice

    If I was trouba I’d be fucking embarrassed

  19. Tommybrady20

    Without getting into the admittedly complicated details… everyone in the league has a wife and kid, Jacob.

    You’re not special.

  20. Key-Tip-7521

    Geez. This better end asap. What ever happened to the Gary cooper type of leaders? The Strong silent type? That’s what the rangers need. That’s a real leader right there!

  21. I must say Drury has handled this situation awfully.

  22. RhythmTimeDivision

    With Brooks, sometimes you get insightful articles rooted in decades of covering the NY Rangers.

    Other times, you click and say ‘this asshole works for Rupert Murdoch, and this horseshit article is exactly what I SHOULD expect from the NY Post’

  23. TreeFugger69420

    Whatever the truth is in all of this, Larry has made an absolutely mess of it. This is what happens when you’re so horny for sources you publish the first thing you hear.

  24. CrunchEnhancer-NNCV

    I can only take the sob story for a human making 8mil a year playing a game for so long. Teams given him 40 mil. This is literally part of the reason the pay is so high. Relocate on a dime. If this was his top priority he should have taken a pay cut for a full nmc. If he still doesn’t want to play out his contract I will gladly take it over.

  25. Wesley__Willis

    Worth mentioning that Trouba did the same thing to Winnipeg and they were thrilled to be rid of him

  26. NYdude777

    I don’t like players that hold my team hostage.

  27. tushshtup

    she’s in residency, not the military, her husband makes 8 million dollars a year, i’m sure they have a nanny
    believe it or not there are people doing residencies in cities while their spouses do residencies in other cities
    she’s certainly the richest and most comfortable person in her residency

    this is not very moving or tragic

  28. uknownick

    This whole situation basically killed rangers offseason
