Proposal: Trouba all encompassing trade thread

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

man, I wish Shero would be all over this

the problem is I just don't see a realistic trade to be made

To bad you already dealt Larsson. A swap between the tow could have been an easy deal.

Yeah but then the Devils have no offence still.

 

[gwh]

It might make more sense to look at what other players of the same age and calibre are getting under the current contract rules.

Nice Ninjaedit, but hey:

4.0-4.5mil is pretty usual for players around his TOI and p/60 on 5v5. Trouba can do a 2 year bridge, if he thinks he ll be worth 6mil in couple years.

And for the record, nobody will give him 6mil. If he keeps insisting on 6mil, there won't be a trade. Even a dumbsterfire like toronto can't afford to gamble 2mil long term cap on unproven player.

True but we'd be better off. And that's all that matters.

It's an elaboration there's nothing sinister about it.

Ryan McDonagh signed a $4.7M contract at an older age than Trouba and that contract was regarded as an absolute steal at the time. Oh and that was 3 years ago.

Not sure where you pulled $4M from or why you're evaluating defensemen (apparently solely) on ice-time and 5-on-5 P/60. Not to mention the Duncan Keith comparison which makes zero sense.

Edit: Just noticed you think Toronto is a dumpster fire? k

 

[Ducksgo*]

Flames would never do that trade. We would lose one of Hamilton or Trouba to expansion. So the trade would be Johnny for Ehlers + 1 year of Trouba. No thanks.

This is a fair Statement. Flames has a lot to lose doing this trade. Spot on

wouldnt trade where toronto is (rebuilding to something meaningful)
to be in minnys position (complete mediocrity, no young blue chip talent and an overpaid veteran roster).

you think the leafs would really care about an extra mil to trouba?
they dont have 13 guys making 2.5+ like the wild, but they do have about 50 million in space in 2 years

safe to disregard everything he says. he thinks trouba would be the wilds 5th highest paid dman

Sorry don't see Trouba going to Boston without Krug going to Winnipeg. And that's a lateral move at best for Boston.

Where's the WPG 1st?

 

[Foltronic]

Over rated and not worth the asking price

 

[Dominator13]

Garret broke a few things, can't remember exactly what besides calling Stanley.

Garret who? The analytics guy on Twitter?

Trouba agent will be on hustler and lawless tomorrow

We can't take on another goalie. We can only protect one and it's likely going to be Hellebuyck. We'd basically be giving Fluery away to Las Vegas with this deal. Maatta is interesting though..

 

[Guardian17]

Seems like Trouba and his agent are not on the same page.

 

[Hunter368]

It will be very interesting to hear Trouba speak on the subject so the fans can hear his POV. Now only agent will speak.

That won't work due to LV joining NHL

I included the goalies because Cap is an issue. I'd do the same deal without the goalie swap if Trouba ends up taking less than 6M AAV

 

[allan5oh]

Garret who? The analytics guy on Twitter?

Yup

He broke the Tanev signing and a few other things. Warned us the jets wanted Stanley. Probably the best insider for the Jets until he called it quits.

 

[km204]

If there was going to be a Lindholm for Trouba trade what would Winnipeg have to add to even it out?

 

[Daximus]

Yup

He broke the Tanev signing and a few other things. Warned us the jets wanted Stanley. Probably the best insider for the Jets until he called it quits.

We have a few others as well. None that had the amount of information Garret did. But they are still trustworthy sources. I know everyone wants a TSN analyst to tell them all the info but sometimes they don't have a damn clue whats going on either.
