After more than four years, the Rangers have named a new captain: Jacob Trouba! Why this decision shouldn’t come as surprise, especially considering how the Rangers have constructed their team in recent seasons. Did the Rangers make the right choice, or should Chris Kreider and/or Mika Zibanejad have been considered? Biggest takeaways from the press conference with Trouba, Gerard Gallant and Chris Drury. The biggest reason why Trouba is a good choice: it’s what the players wanted. Why Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Barclay Goodrow should all remain alternate captains. Talking about Panarin’s hilarious congratulations video to Trouba. Does Trouba becoming captain guarantee that he will play out the last four years of his contract with the Rangers?? Also, Tyler Motte is still a free agent!

Miller to the Tampa Bay Lightning for essentially nothing. Also, Tyler Motte is still a free agent! **Note: In this episode, we say Libor Hajek was a former first-round pick.

Kaapo Kakko is back! After a fairly lengthy waiting period, Kakko reups with the Rangers on a two-year deal worth 2.1 million per season! Why this was always the most likely outcome, even after Kakko was controversially scratched for Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Final. Calling for the Rangers to take off the training wheels and put Kakko in a very prominent role (likely on the Artemi Panarin line) with a lot of rope. Going over some of the biggest reasons why there is still hope for Kakko to develop into the player that we all thought he would be. Why Kakko (and not Vitali Kravtsov) should play with Panarin and Vincent Trocheck. Why re-signing the ever-popular Tyler Motte is still unlikely.

With Jacob Trouba carrying an annual cap hit of $8 million for the next four seasons and his full no-move clause becoming a limited no-move clause in two years, is it inevitable that he will be traded before his contract expires??? We’re giving Trouba props for what he’s done for this team while also looking at some reasons why a deal might eventually be inevitable. With the incredible emergence of guys like Adam Fox, Ryan Lindgren and K’Andre Miller and the defensemen with considerable upside such as Braden Schneider, Nils Lundqvist, Zac Jones, and others, does Trouba become slightly more expendable?? Could he already have been traded if not for his full no-move clause??? And if he was traded, would the Rangers have been in on players like Nazem Kadri, Johnny Gaudreau or Patrick Kane. Plus, we continue Draft Spotlight by looking at the Rangers third-round pick: center Bryce McConnell-Barker!! What does he bring to the table, and was this a good pick for the Rangers??? Episode 647. Intro song is “Leave the Lights On” by Passafire.
