On the finish of the day – actually – Rangers are in a a lot better place than when the solar got here up on Friday.
The Blue Jerseys are swimming in area after buying and selling Jacob Trouba to Anaheim to shut a tough chapter within the lame-duck captain’s profession; they locked up franchise goaltender Igor Shesterkin to an eight-year extension for a superbly truthful $11.5 million; and they’re even two factors to the nice after them 4-2 Garden takedown of the Penguins it represented the membership’s most disciplined efficiency in weeks.
There is not any query that there was trauma in basically forcing Trouba out the door by being threatened with being positioned on waivers if he did not settle for a commerce for different choices that have been introduced to him.
The story of how this developed has been advised and retold right here, and I do know that I turned a big a part of that story, and so I remorse that it had such a profound impact on Truba’s life. However I do not remorse doing my job.
