"Per Cam Robinson, the Rangers and Minnesota are not close on a Vincent Trocheck trade. Robinson is reporting that Chris Drury's asking price for the veteran center is well above what has been made publicly available, and Minnesota's standing offer is nowhere near that ask."
"As much as we should praise Drury for holding out for what he wants in a Trocheck trade, I can't help but think holding onto him longer is a bad idea. He's been bad for the last month and it's clear he's done here."
"At this point in their young careers, it's potato/potahto. Neither is a guarantee. Yurov is the better skater, which may be the main reason why fans prefer him over Stramel. But in terms of total package, both are comparable prospects and I'd be happy with either in a Trocheck trade."
Chris Drury is seeking a higher price for Vincent Trocheck than Minnesota is willing to offer, creating a significant gap in trade negotiations. Trocheck remains the premier center available on the market with three years remaining at $5.625 million annually. Despite his value, Trocheck has underperformed recently, suggesting the Rangers should consider trading him sooner rather than later. Rangers fans prefer Danila Yurov in any deal, though Minnesota's offer centers on Charlie Stramel and a first-round pick. Both Yurov and Stramel are comparable prospects at similar career stages, with Yurov being the superior skater. Stramel's advantage is his position as a right-handed center, while Yurov plays wing.
