So, if Edmonton would trade Yakupov for Fast, would you do it?

I think they may have been referring to a poster from this board in the training camp thread saying something along the lines of they are just waiting for the WC to finish to make the announcement. That same poster has put out a bunch of different noise since that post. The World Cup is over though and no announcement of a trade has been made.
Jets need a top 4 LHD not a third pairing RHD. A 29 year old winger can't be the main piece for a 22 year old top 2 RHD.

I will say that Jim's work as a freelancer has been fantastic. It's almost as though he reads these boards. He's up to date with all of the prospects and knows who is in line to compete for spots...all the way down to guys like Jensen. Definitely worth keeping on twitter.

Mattias Janmark will be undergoing knee surgery and will be out for 5-6 months.

Me too. I'd say a right side of:Also, as odd as it may seem, I'd feel better moving Skjei ahead of McIlrath. Finally seems to be coming into his own and he's the one RHD in our pipeline that I could actually see being a 2nd pair defender. It's also much easier to find a 2nd pairing LHD than it is a righty, and we're stronger there organizationally.
Where has he been a top-2 RHD? Isn't it a bit presumptuous to say that about a player who has played 3rd pairing for your team? I realize is upside is probably that, but if he was that, shouldn't he be playing that role?
Hey now. No reason to be realistic around these parts. Trade Stepan before that NMC kicks in. Do it to other players too. Then sit and wonder why no one wants to sign/play here anymore.

in order to pry trouba away from gm chevy, a top line player will need to go the other way. thats a given.
i agree that zuccarello would be that guy. front line player with a good contract. his buddy was moved to the sens and he's the next in line.
if you can turn brassard, zuc and mcilrath into zibanejad and trouba. OMG. done deal. period.
i dont believe nash is going anywhere in that deal though. i wish but not happening. and i would not want to see jt miller moved. he's a kid who is ready to breakout imo and i exactly the type of player gorton is looking to add. keep him.
as unpopular as it may be, i still think the offer needs to be zuc and dylan mcilrath. makes too much sense.
zuc steps right in to that top 9 lineup and mcilrath replaces trouba in that 3RD spot and gives them a western canada homegrown kid who can develop behind big buf and tyler myers.
gm chevy gets his top line player and a high upside youngster to develop. we open up a top 9 forward spot for brandon pirri and settle on a defense that looks like this.
mcd/trouba
staal/klein
skjei/girardi
holden
zuc & mcilrath for jake trouba. makes too much sense.
thats your deal folks.
Ah. Gotcha.
Me too. I'd say a right side of:
Trouba
McIlrath
PM RHD
would be excellent. Lefties are in an abundance. I'm ok with a 3rd pair PM RHD like Clendening for now. Wonder twin G should have been bought out. I wasn't in favor over the summer but McI shouldn't be lost because of Girardi's bad contract.
Took a gander at the Jets board, they seem to be under the impression that a vetted poster said something around Zucc to the Jets would happen soon now that the WCoH is over. Did I miss that somewhere?
Zucc and Skjei seems to be something a few of their fans would settle for, but honestly I think it's a bit of an overpayment.
Also, as odd as it may seem, I'd feel better moving Skjei ahead of McIlrath.

Just heard from a good source (and another one too) that Trouba definitely will be dealt. He demands a much clearer role RIGHT NOW and Jets have two guys that are righties that are ahead of him on the depth chart due to certain circumstances. The $7 M number is bogus. He does want 7 years though. 3 teams in the mix. Rangers are one of them.
I am sorry for not being able to be too specific here. A promise is a promise. I can say that this is likely going to happen soon, at least according to my better source.
Not attacking you at all Trxjw - but want to clarify that I have not said anything about hearing that Zucc was being traded for Trouba. Nowhere. I did say the following:

It was not you. The post is in the training camp thread.
