Hello Jets fans.
So I'm stressed out here regarding the Trouba issue. I am torn between a strong return on a trade and going for it this upcoming year in an effort to win the Cup, with Trouba on the roster.
Geting a stud d back in trade is clearly going to be very hard. Right handed defenceman that are 24 year old top pairing guys are tough to get, very very tough to get.
Then I look at Pittsburgh and see how the pens won two cups with a fairly average or at least unspectacular defence.
So I am musing if it would be wise to go that route. If Trouba was dealt for a centre it could make or forwards beyond great, certainly Cup worthy no doubt.
So If Trouba was dealt for a centre our d would look like this:
Morrissey Buff
Kulikov Myers
Chariot Poolman
Niku
Not a terrible group. Pretty decent overall. I would worry though, an injury would reduce the group's quality significantly. Niku remains a wild card. If the defence does not meet a sort of minimum threshold you just don't win in the playoffs.
This Trouba contract impasse really is bothering me more than I thought it would.
