Elite RHD?
Only the Marner offer seems realistic. The rest are quantity for quality.
If this is truly what the Jets believe, then Trouba will remain a Jet.

Rielly or nothing.
Only Leaf that interests me.

And now we have driven straight off the cliff....well done.
Sorry that the worst team in the league isn't stacked with talent.

Dude a measly 17 ev points in a season is bottom pairing material. Polak had 16. Offensively, he's similar to Polak, you can talk about defense but Polak is good in that department as well not to mention more physical. Get where this is heading?

Oh, I get where this is heading.... on the fast track to nowheresville. I can see that you are looking at the world through blue tinted glasses, and nothing will change that. I'm done discussing this with you.
A: I'm not the one comparing Zaitsev/Trouba.
B: Every player (wingers/D) have a prefered side....but most will do what is asked of them for the better of the team. Why don't you list the players who have demanded a trade due to what side they play on.
Somewhat close, Mark Streit demanded a trade because he couldn't have a regular spot on Canadiens' defense, playing powerplay minutes as a left winger. It wasn't about money at all, but a matter of position.
Trouba : Proven.
Zaitsev : Unproven.
You really think Trouba wanting to play on his natural side is unreasonable? Show me an NHL Dman that doesn't have a preferred side, and I'll show you a Dman that doesn't care about excelling in the league.
For the record, I'm not a Jets fan, just a realist.

Of course you are. Why try to engage in a discussion when you don't have any reasonable facts at your disposal?
With Zaitsev emerging as an elite RHD there isn't enough urgency or desperation to make that kind of trade. Even Andrew Nielsen is impressing in camp.
It's obvious that the jets are the ones overvaluing Trouba because he's been on the trade market for 5 months with no takers.
Leafs get J. Trouba
Jets get J. Gardiner, C. Carrick, K. Kapenen
I agree, so what makes him worth the insane price some Jets fans are seeking?
Probably the fact that he's still under 23 and still has 1st pairing potential.
These trade proposals were on the website:
Leafs get J. Trouba
Jets get JVR, C. Carrick and a 2017 2nd
Leafs get J. Trouba
Jets get J. Gardiner, C. Carrick, K. Kapenen
Leafs get J. Trouba
Jets get M. Marner and a 2017 2nd
Leafs get J. Trouba, E. Comrie, D. Stafford
Jets get JVR, C. Carrick, K. Kapenen, M. Marincin and a 2017 2nd
Would love the last proposal. Let the discussion begin
