I specified McD + for Trouba +.
In other threads, there was consensus given Jets are obviously heavy on the right and thin on the left, this was fair basis of a deal.
In a vacuum Trouba slightly more given potential and rejuvenation. However, since McD is another 3 or so years cost controlled sweet deal, he is more valuable.
so the "You don't even have Trouba" line is irrelevant for purposes of speculation.
As to "you're still trying to screw them over for him" feel free to elaborate what you think a fair deal is with those pieces.
Peace out til this pm.
Not really the point. You're still offering up an asset you don't have. It isn't a small asset, either. I could say Anaheim deals for Ceci, and then try to say another team will overpay for him. That doesn't mean it isn't silly. There is a pretty big obstacle in the way of that, and it's actually acquiring Ceci.
And Anaheim wouldn't make that deal for those pieces. You haven't considered Anaheim's needs at all. Why in the world are they moving a cheap, but good defenseman in Manson
and two of their best prospects in Montour and Theodore? How in the world do you expect Anaheim to afford re-signing Lindholm, Trouba,
and Rakell? Not only would this deal put them in a massive bind now, but it puts them in an even greater one later, because they just lost
three good, and cost effective assets that will help them remain competitive moving forward.
That's just the financial, and cost-controlled side. It's not even considering the actual player value of Manson, Montour, and Theodore. With all due respect to Trouba, who is a good, young talent, but he isn't worth that. There is no way Anaheim is moving Theodore for Trouba and
adding Montour and Manson to the pot.
