NY and Ottawa are most likely taking in cap dumps this off season to keep their rebuild going.

Karlsson isn't signing with a rebuilding club, And Trouba is looking at either coming home to Detroit or here in Florida to be near his fiancee Kelly Tyson.

you are seriously a broken record with this BS.
And bobrovsky/panarin were going to get traded at the deadline, Tavares said he wanted to resign with the islanders, Bryce Harper/Manny Machado were going to sign with the Yankees, etc. etc. you see it all the time with sports. To be completely ignorant and say trouba wouldn't want to sign in NY (he wouldn't have an option really if it was a sign and trade by WPG), is ridiculous. Biggest city in all of the NHL(over 10x the population of detroit, over 20x tampa, almost 100x sunrise fl), has multitude of opportunities for his fiancee (NY is a hotspot for the medical profession-- Dolan could get one of his contacts to hook her up with a gig), enormous endorsement opportunities (much more than detroit, tampa, etc).

Also, signing panarin and karlsson means that the rangers are no longer a rebuilding team, it means that the rebuild is complete. especially if they also re-sign hayes in the offseason.
