The Official 2026 Off-Season Thread: Revenge of the Nerds

Contract isn't bad either for what he is. 5.625 with 3 more seasons left, 33-35.

Concerned about acquisition cost though. Drury was apparently looking for a 1st + good prospect last year at the deadline. Allegedly the Wild offered a 2027 1st + Stramel and were turned down. Which probably puts the price somewhere in a 1st + Cowan territory.
 
I think we're going to hear a lot of these rumours coming in though. Chayka is going to be checking in with every team in the league right now who has a centre or a top 4 D they're willing to move off of.
 
We don't need a premium C but we absolutely need a very good one. And Trocheck had been that for most years, and was still decent this year even in a year like the leafs where every rangers nerdies tanked.
