Massive blockbuster trade unfolds between the Rangers & Sabres
While the Rangers went silent after the beginning of free agency, it appears they are still pushing hard to move Captain Jacob Trouba.
With the team's last run in the Eastern Conference Finals, being a disappointing endeavor, Jacob Trouba's time in New York is quickly coming to an end. The Captain however nixed trades to both Buffalo and Detroit, while the team had plans to ship him and Kaapo Kakko elsewhere.
#Sabres and #NYR had actually worked up a deal for Kaapo Kakko and Jacob Trouba before everything went south. Was looking like the Rangers were going to clear some significant space.
Buffalo is still interested in Kakko at this time.
#NYR Drury continues to talk with Trouba
However, teams remain interested in the Rangers Captain, as the San Jose Sharks and Mike Grier are aggressive in trying to acquire the hard-nosed defenseman.
#NYR would be able to move Trouba almost instantly if he waived his NMC to #Sabres, #LGRW, and #FlyTogether. As of now its looking like a buyout, 3rd line pairing is the most likely option.
I would keep an eye on #Sharks too if that NMC gets waived.
If every other attempt fails, they could use a good old buy-out a tried and true technique. The major goal of all of this is to make more room for other acquisitions and save cap space for the next run at the ever-elusive Stanley Cup.
