As much as I want Lindholm I don't think giving up Trouba and Ehlers would do it for me.
I'd be willing to part with something like Trouba, Petan and Burmi for just Lindholm and Montour even but not Ehlers.
 
Take Ehlers out and replace him with local Anaheim boy Chase De Leo (a Ducks season ticket holder at one time); he is pretty much ready for the NHL now.

Take out Stoner as well and figure out the cash with someone else.

Don't care if Burmistrov is included or not, frankly.

Then it might be a done deal.

Lindholm >> Trouba
Montour </½ Ehlers
Stoner and Burmi are just spare parts. Stoner have negative value and Burmi might fetch 4th rounder or so.. he's next to nothing also.

Ducks need a adress their for real top lw 6 forward.

Chase De Leo is nice kid, but he isn't even close to be as value as Montour and he's the least valuble asset of those four players.
 
A Trouba-Lindholm trade has nothing to do with the other pieces in the deal. Anaheim has to afford Trouba. The only way I see it happening is if the Jets can force Trouba to sign for a discount to facilitate a trade, which may happen come late November, and he suddenly becomes affordable for Anaheim.

Ehlers wouldn't be included in either case.

The Jets aren't at all likely to entertain trading Ehlers, just so ya' know.

But Jets have their super stud winger in Laine? With Wheeler, Laine and Ehlers there is one spot too much for top line spot. Wheeler is the capitano and he isn't going anywhere. So it's either Laine or Ehlers for longterm. They are both top line forwards but there isn't room for both of them.

Ehlers & Laine will soon want + 6 mil contracts and Jets don't have cap space for both of those guys. When they ofc want to resign Wheeler and he's getting +7 mil.

So, even though Lindholm's better and has more value than Trouba, the Jets get to remove the other good piece from the deal and refuse the cap dump? Lindholm, alone, would be worth more than Trouba and De Leo and yet we're still adding Montour to the deal? Makes sense...

Yeah, no. The Jets have room for both right now. Not looking to move Ehlers anytime soon. The Jets will finally have an increased scoring threat upfront and will be able to spread out their offense; trading it away sort of defeats that purpose.

Take Montour out; I didn't write the proposal. Take De Leo or not, take Trouba and a mid-range pick or two for all I care. Not really taking the proposal all that seriously, frankly, considering that it included Ehlers.

We can even throw in Burmistrov for free (you pay his freight though).
 
I'd rather keep Lindholm, keep developing Montour and end up trading him (or whoever he makes expendable down the road) for a lesser young forward than Ehlers.

I don't think it will fly without Stoner (assuming it would fly with him). Ducks need the cap. Stoner is a serviceable 3rd pair D, just way overpaid.

Ducks would be nuts to turn down the OP with Ehlers in it but that's OK because he isn't going anywhere.

Solid effort on OP, but no thx from Jets. I would do something like:

Lindholm
Stoner (nothing retained)

For

Trouba
Burmi or Lowry (cheap bottom 6 guy, who plays Centre or Wing)
3rd Rd pick
