The value is fine, but teams don't trade their only #1D away. Can't imagine Anaheim would even consider it.
 
The Jets wont trade Ehlers.

Yes they have a glut of winger prospects, but they're just that. Prospects.
 
I agree with most of the posters here, value might be comparable, but neither team wants to deal any of those guys.
 
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.
And then Anaheim hangs up the phone.

Ya really. Ehlers is in there because the difference between Trouba and Lindholm is that large. You take him out and the deal's done because there's no incentive for Anaheim. Ehlers is great, but Winnipeg would throw him in without a second thought if it meant getting Lindholm.

Ehlers is by no means a throw in to ANY TRADE. Teams throw in "B" prospects, journeyman players or mid round picks. Any unbiased fan will know that.

Don't kid yourself.

Nice drive-by; if you'd actually followed the thread instead of cherry-picking you may have noticed this follow-up:

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).
 
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.

If Lindholm >> Trouba, Ehlers >>> Montour. Montour hasn't even made the NHL yet, and he's 2 years older than Ehlers.
 
Except there's no good reason to trade Fowler if we're already trading Lindholm.

Good point, Anahiem can't really give up 2 top 4 guys even if they have one coming back. I think they'd be smarter to just resign Lindholm and keep Fowler, it's too bad they have an internal cap
 
The Jets aren't at all likely to entertain trading Ehlers, just so ya' know.

Why do people always say this? You have no idea what they'll do. We have an abundance of forwards, if the move was right, for sure they could do it.
 
To Ducks

Ehlers
Trouba
Burmistrov

To Jets

Lindholm
Montour
Stoner (25% retained)
I'm going to admit I don't know A LOT about Montour and that I guess would be the main sticking part of this trade.

As a CBJ fan who likes both teams a lot (they are my 2nd and 3rd favorite teams to watch because the current rosters and prospects) I think this is too much from the Jets and I would decline. The difference between trouba and lindholm is there but it's not THAT big. There are maybe 30 defenders that separate them at MOST. Trouba is IMO top 45-50 D in the league. So that being said to make up that difference Ehlers is not the guy to make up that distance because he is looking like a stud and a future top 20 goal scoring player here in the near future. Then they have to take on the stoner contract. Then when you look at the amount lindholm will make more then Trouba and you start to see why this favors the ducks.

I 100% understand not wanting to give up a #1D but Trouba while right now is a 2D likely has the talent to be that #1 here in the next year or 2 plus you would gain a sure fire top line W who will be great for them. So while you might not want to personally do the deal I don't think the Jets would do it either the value just isn't there.

Well, in this case, he is a young forward that played on the top-line at the end of his rookie season and that line excelled when it was formed. The Jets have a few other high-end offensive prospects, and a bunch of other middling young depth forwards. I doubt they would even consider trading Ehlers right now because their plan per Paul Maurice's words earlier this summer on a TSN radio interview is to spread the scoring out and to ice three offensive lines.

It is easy to state they would trade anyone if the deal is right, though it seems illogical that a team guided by a draft and develop strategy would be very eager to let go of their top-end young players that are cost controlled while still in the entry-level category. You keep those players and allow them to develop their asset values vs. trading them now and having them blossom elsewhere. Our opinions differ, oh well.
 
We are not trading Lindholm and Fowler. We are not trading Fowler for Myers.

It's best if you don't respond to that posters comments. I don't think anyone ever agrees with his ridiculous proposals. Come to think of it, it could be that HFBoardsUser guy on a second account.

What about Fowler and Rakkel for Trouba and Stafford (50% retention)

Or is that trash.

Stafford Getzlaf Perry

Lindholm Trouba
Despres Vatanen
Stoner Bieksa

How does this alleviate the cap for Anaheim? Fowler $4 million Rakell supposedly asking for $4 million per and Trouba seeking around $5.5 million and Stafford retained at 50% is still around $2.65 million so it still equals around the same for Anaheim and they need to shed to be able to afford Lindholm. Lindholm seeking around $6.5 million or a little less for 8 years and Trouba $5.5 million more then Fowler no way can Anaheim afford this.

Fowler can't be the main return for Trouba. The value is bad for Winnipeg and the cap is unworkable for Anaheim.
