I'm not sure Jet's take this deal even if Ottawa retains 1/2 of Ryan's salary, let alone only 2M.
Jets get the best Defensemen in the world a solid 40pr RW(who can fit real well on the third line across from Perrault and beside Roslovic or even Petan) who would end up getting paid less than Little with a 2 year shorter term. I really like Trouba but if you think his value is even close to Karlssons your wrong, if any team should value him less it’s the Jets as well(disrespecting the process, teammates, coaches, city of Winnipeg and is now asking for 8m out of this team, sorry if he is really trying to get this team to go out of its way for him because he doesn’t like it as much as he should than he should be traded), Vesalainen is great but I think he’s a 50/50 in regards to if he even breaks the Top 6(due to Ehlers and Connor, even if he does transfer to the RW there’s Laine and Wheeler).
If Trouba isn’t gonna bend his demands for the Jets organization or doesn’t like our management than he should be traded, and if a RHD who happens to be the best defender in the World happens to be on the market why not try... I think it’s more than fair.
I mean for next season alone the lineup would look allot better in my opinion.
Connor Scheifele Wheeler
Ehlers Petan/Roslovic Laine
Perreault Roslovic/Petan Ryan
Copp Lowry Tanev
Morrissey Karlsson
Myers Byfuglien
Chiarot Poolman
