  • Vincent Trocheck was NOT traded at the deadline

    6:17PM: On NHL Network, Elliotte Friedman said “I do think Minnesota tried…I just heard that the price was very high and with Panarin they were boxed into the corner and they are not with Trocheck because he’s under contract for three more years.”

    He added that Boston looked at Trocheck and decided the price was too high.

    3:21PM: Bill Guerin was on ESPN and was asked about the center market and Trocheck and said “it’s tough and I thought winning a goal medal with Chris Drury would give me a little bit of a hometown discount but he wasn’t in that mood (smiles). It’s tough, these guys are so valuable and when teams have them they know they have something special and it’s valuable and I think that is why we saw prices set so high. It’s just such a critical position…it’s critical but it’s not the easiest thing to do because when you have those players you don’t want to give them up.”

    3:11PM: The Rangers have not traded Vincent Trocheck by today’s 3PM trade deadline.

    Trocheck still has three more years left on his contract and his modified no-trade goes from 12 teams to 10 teams on July 1.
