He's from, I think, Rosemont, if I'm not mistaken, right?

That sounds correct, yeah.

Yeah, and so if he says, you know what, I don't really want to play there, he just has to be patient.

he will not go back into the draft he will be an unrestricted free agent free to sign wherever he wants and i'm sure the rangers are like hold on a second here first of all we're currently a dumpster fire second of all this kid has played at wisconsin michigan state in east lansing and he is from the midwest no guarantee that he's like you know where i really want to play the rangers so

All in all, I don't blame the Rangers one bit.

And I do think that if you want Trochak,

that it's Yurov, it's your first round pick in 27, and it's probably a prospect defenseman.

Other than that, I just don't think the current offer, if this was indeed Billy's final, Bill Guerin's final offer age, I don't think it's going to get it done.

And in this case, I sort of, I guess the more I think about it, side with the Rangers and say, I don't blame them.

I'm not going to take that chance.

No, and I, you know, we've discussed this for a couple of days now.

The Yurov piece makes perfect sense.

Like if you are the Rangers, you want that.

You're trading a really effective, yes, Trochek is 32, but he's got 12 goals.

And most importantly, he's got three years left on a contract that carries a cap per an AAV of $5.6 million.

With today's cap, that's a freaking bargain.

And he's not a true one, but he definitely is a huge upgrade.

And we'll talk about this as well, the face-offs.

He is very, very good there.

So I'm not surprised.
