When it comes to the “who’s who” of New York Rangers reporters, Hall of Famer Larry Brooks is tops. So it is only natural that his latest column sent shockwaves not only through the Blueshirts base but also the Isles and Devils.
Breaking Down Brooks
A few key notes before we get into where I feel Brooks is diving into speculation versus actual names being discussed.
- There are up to a dozen teams in on Trouba
- The Islanders and Devils are in on him
- Winnipeg has not allowed Trouba’s agent to speak with teams yet
First and foremost, as I was told by my source with the Rangers, Trouba is a very popular player right now.
