I'm guessing he doesn't want to go to any teams that already have solid 1st and 2nd pairing RHD's, that could narrow down the list of teams to potentially make a deal with and the Jets would get the best return from teams looking to fill those spots.
I have a question for Jets fans, was this expected? Has he shown that he's a prima Donna in the past or is this warranted given that he could be behind Byfuglien and Myers on the depth chart/ Their unwillingness to play less mins., etc. Not entirely sure of where he was slotted to play.
Travis Sanheim + 2nd?
I think Flyers fans will be split.
I'm guessing he doesn't want to go to a team with ANY solid RHD that are capable of playing top minutes. He was third in ice time last year. It was believed he would play the top pairing with Buff this year. For him to stay, I would think that buff would need to go, not Myers
I'll play...
To ANA: JVR
To TOR: Cam Fowler + Clayton Stoner
To WPG: Cam Fowler + Clayton Stoner (50% retained)
To TOR: Jacob Trouba
Beaulieu + McCarron + 1st round pick?
And that would be Detroit considering that we only have Green and Marchenko on the right side Trouba would get top pairing minutes with DDK and most likely Kronwall and Green middle pairing and Ericsson/Smith with Marchnko on the bottom pairing.

Realistically Detroit is the ideal place for him. They just don't have what we need.
Chia has shown that he'll give up a little more than he should to get what he wants. Even though he probably should, I'm not sure how much he wants Trouba.
Also, let's see if I can guess the proposal. Winnipeg gets Fowler who will leave in 2 years. Oilers get Trouba (who is arguably better then any of their current defensemen), and Anaheim gets the Oilers poop. Yah, that's how I thought it would go....
Trouba and Overhardt are not going to facilitate a trade to Edmonton, and I doubt the Oilers want to have the same headache the Jets have now.
How much value could we extract from the Red Wings? Even if the main piece is a forward like Tatar or Nyquist that we flip, could we get enough valuable futures to make it work? Obviously, we'd need to take some salary to ease their cap situation. Somehow I see a multi-team trade situation.
Left side d of similar age and calibre on teams lacking top 4 right hand d and able to trade the left D:
Fowler
Lindholm
Theodore
Hanifin
Fleury
Murray
Nurse
Klefbom
Brodin
Provorov
Sanheim
Hutton
Gardiner
Too young...
Sergachev
Bean
Chychrun
So Anaheim, Carolina, Philadelphia or Edmonton.
My bet is Philly...
Wow, tha bad for Jets
Totally agree, To bad we lost Chychrun he would've been a nice start. Pretty sure that if Detroit were to get involved more then likely a 3 way would have to happen to get a deal done.
From Detroit:
Nyquist
Smith
Prospect
2017 first rounder
Sounding like he might be seeking a deal around 7 years $42 million, Just saw on Spector and MyNHLRumors that he's seeking $6 million per long term.
What do Jets fan think of Tanev for Trouba? Is it a starter?
As an Oilers fan I'd hope he wouldn't give up a ton of assets in a trade two weeks before the season starts for a guys rights, who A) you have no idea what his ask will be from the organization contract wise and B) has the worst agent in the league who's known for having his clients sit out when they don't get what they want.
And I'm sure Overhardt and Trouba's ask wouldn't be outrageous when they know how bad it would look on Chia to have a player he just gave up a **** ton for sit out.
Trouble is a hell of a player but between the timing, the fact he doesn't have a contract, who his agent is and the fact he's requested a trade I can't see the Oilers being interested unless the trade price was heavily discounted.
And that would be Detroit considering that we only have Green and Marchenko on the right side Trouba would get top pairing minutes with DDK and most likely Kronwall and Green middle pairing and Ericsson/Smith with Marchnko on the bottom pairing.
We'd probably be targeting Hutton or Juolevi in any deal involving Van.
