The Trouba love affair here is a joke.

Jim Schoenfeld has stepped down from his role as the New York Rangers assistant GM and senior VP.
Schoenfeld was part of the Rangers' organization for 17 seasons. He started as an assistant coach with the Rangers and eventually moved into the front office. "In nearly two decades with the Rangers, Jim made an impact in nearly every level of the organization," said Rangers president Glen Sather. "His tireless efforts and contributions were vital to the extended run of success we experienced during his tenure in New York."

They make it sound like he's Ray Bourque.

What's even funnier is when they post, Risto, Nylander or Reinhart and the other 1st we have for Trouba. But don't pay for a 2nd line Center that we need .

Schonny would be a perfect pegula hire.

Wonder if there is any interest? Mutual interest?

In relative terms, my first wife is even hotter now than she was when we split up.

And we "visit" every time I go to NYC where she lives.

It's not even that I think he's a bad player but he's not really head/shoulders above Montour or Risto. Any one could argue from multiple angles that the 3 of them are interchangable based on what characteristics they want to see.

THAT... is not a 7M guy who we would trade huge assets for.

Can't keep giving out big contracts or we will be stuck in cap hell, 1 player at a time and 1 contact at a time. Skinner is priority 1.

In the world of how do we make this happen:

We have the Night King, now let's make it feel like Winter is Coming to the teams that have to play in Buffalo. Game of Throne mood music and a slow build to the conquering!

Cheesy - heck yeah!
Better than the crap and nonsense that keeps people in their seats and does nothing to kick off the games - for example, the Jumbotron production where the players start with their faces down and slowly pan up to look at the camera. Who comes up with this crud?

I love comparing duchene to ror

they are nothing alike

duchene is one of the faster centers in the nhl, exactly what you want if building an upbeat north south team

Trouba was top 15 NHL DMen giveaways this season with 86. Risto had 44.

- JVince11

And Dahlin had 79 giveaways with nearly 60% o-zone starts.

Thats why the Hayes idea is perfect imo. 2C for this year, can slide into a 3C role. $6 per makes way more sense than $10m for Duchene when hopefully Mitts will be taking that role in 2 years
- jcragcrumple


Neither makes sense to me
$6mil is too much for Hayes
Signing Duchene will be a disaster for whatever team gets him (unless they play him as their 1C)

I'd like to have Duchene but, how many guys can you pay 8-10 mill a year. Eichel, Skinner (maybe) Duchene and 8-10 range each. Then what about Reinhart and we have to pay Dahlin as well.

You're way off on Duchene and if we were a playoff team this year, he would be a Sabre now. That is a fact.

Career 60-ish point player, who tops out around only 25goals per, at 9mil or MORE per season...
that’s just bonkers

Casey will be our 2C sooner than later
Overpaying anyone to be 2C for a year or 2 is dumb
Especially if we are overpaying a guy who isn’t a really good 2way center (like Duchene)

No, I’m not
Duchene is a career 60 point player
That’s not worth 9 or 10mil per
That’s horrific at that price

Would you be happy if Jack was a 60point player?
Then wtf would u want Duchene???

You're way off and he will get 8-10 a year because that's the going rate. Eichel needs all the help he can get.

I like Duchene. I just wish we could get him for 8 mil a year. I think he would be a great fit for us. I think he can be a 60-70pt guy here. It would be great if we could get both Skinner and Duchene for similar money, Trade Okposo, draft Caufield.

Eichel, Reinhart, Skinner
Duchene, Caufield, Oloffsson ( this line could be killer for years...)
Mitts, Nylander, e-rod
who cares, who cares, who cares

Yeah, he will get that much
Let’s hope it’s by a different team

I’m not way off
It’s a FACT that Duchene is a 60 point guy for his career
That’s not an opinion, it’s a FACT

I'm still convinced we're going to have to trade for our 2nd line C.
