Even if his agent plays hardball and we have to trade him at the deadline ..... i think we get a better return than what the Jets just got.

I'd agree, which is why I am not so sure he will sign an extension until a no trade/movement clause can be in effect.
Which I think can only be after he is on the NHL roster for 40 more game days.
Other than that he would have to trust the Rangers would not trade him before any clauses activated.
If think they are allowed to have that clause activate next season, but only after those 40 game days on roster.
I think the 1st round pick was a the differentiation between what a Detroit could offer versus the Rangers... and you also have the cap constraints Detroit has (lots of bad contracts). So I'm not sure how that helps drive up the price.

Seems to me that its way more likely he gets his long term deal now.

We haven't really talked about it much, but don't think for a minute that a significant factor in getting Trouba was the impact/benefit for a guy like Skjei.
So there's the elements of what the Rangers think Trouba can do, and then there's the trickle down effect.

Brooks says the contract will be at least $7.5 million, so it will probably be around $4.75M.

Easily. Picks are worth more near/at the draft and players (especially a top pairing RHD) are worth more at the TDL.

Literally just thinking that before I read this.
Lighten his load and I may like him going forward more than I did yesterday.

I think this ^^^ is a significant factor that influenced how things went down.
Also consider that that like the Rangers with a pick in the 4-9 range, Winnipeg spent considerable time scouting players they felt would be on the board in the 20s. So there are guys there that they like. Getting the 20th pick back was going to be more attractive to them.

I thought he said "can't at first lol, why would the Rangers tweet that?

Agreed. The only factor was, he's one of the best "young" RHD in the league and he was available.
Though luck for the Peg that he basically hand-cuffed them into giving him away for bad value.

His agent is not going to mess with us. This is where the kid wants to be. Totally different than trying to force way out of Winnipeg for years.
We’ll get him on a good contract for both sides. I just hope we get max 8 years on it. Kid’s a stud

Yeah, they’re either paired together or Skjei is on the second pair, which is what we’ve all wanted

This is an example of why I've never liked using Edmonton, Colorado, etc. as examples.
The Rangers will have the resources to make moves and sign players, and New York will remain an attractive option for a lot of players.
Very few players put Carolina, or Columbus, or Winnipeg, or Edmonton, etc. on their short lists. New York typically is. That's our competitive advantage. And we will use it.

I think they're going to take a very long look at Skjei and Trouba together and see how it plays out. I think they've been theorizing about that one for 7 years now. We'll see what happens though.
I endorse this trade and the people behind it.....
If top D are getting 10-12 mil, i can see Trouba going for about 9

Exactly, WPG drafts well and this will give them another asset to bring forward.
There is also a Duluth connection with Pionk, one of WPG's top prospects know him well. Dylan Samberg is going to play in the NHL, there is a connection there as well.
Would the comps for the contract be Fowler/Dumba/Ekblad? If Ekblad got 8 for 7.5, you would think Trouba can get 8M for 7, or 7.5M for 6 years?

You also see the focus on how they want to build a team:
Players with familiarity/comfort with one another
Guys who fill specific roles, even the unheralded ones
Higher end talent, supported by core worker bees
Balance and a focus on chemistry and combos
A snarl to their game, tough to play against (I've said for years its a mindset)
Finding prospects who have better odds of putting it all together post-draft, and finding young NHL'ers who are on the cusp of hitting that next level.
