Have you read any of Chevy comments or demands? Jets fans will be satisfied in the end, don't worry. Chevy won't give in or sell him cheap. If he gets his price we will be happy, just like the Kane deal

Rielly is making $5 million per, If you seriously think that Trouba would come to Toronto for less. Then you're not being realistic if you want him in Toronto he's going to get at least $5 million per for 6 years he wouldn't accept less to play at home in Detroit so what makes you think he would take less to play in Toronto.

Hamonic making $3.8 million per Trouba seeking $6 million per. Plus Hamonic another RHD playing the left side in Winnipeg because Buff and Myers will be ahead of him. So why would Cheveldayoff trade on RHD for another RHD. No way will Snow trade a cheap D-man for a more expensive D-man.

The only person who will end up being unhappy in this situation, me thinks, is Jacob Trouba.
I think Chevy will hold out a high price which nobody will meet. Then Chevy will tell Trouba and Overhardt "tough noogies" and that will be that.

In all seriousness, that deal wouldn't make any sense for the Leafs. Babs wants to have Matthews on the third line to start the season, he wouldn't be able to do that if Bozak was moved. Not to mention the Leafs already have something of a logjam on defence, Reinhart wouldn't make it.
Trouba certainly wouldn't hurt
If he can't play with Reilly he can certainly play with Gardiner

It's closer than you think. What has Trouba done besides be drafted higher. They scored the same amount of points last year all while Winnipeg scored 34 more goals than the Devils. Severson has size, can skate, has hockey sense and is fantastic defensely, you literally wouldn't miss a beat with him. I don't mind you passing on the deal but to say not even close means trouba is officially overrated or you don't know a thing about Severson. Prepare to be disappointed with your return. And where he's from should matter players aren't exactly lining up to sign in Winnepeg every off season.

I'm not expecting this to be handled quickly, might go till close Dec 1 cut off. Either way Chevy will get a very good return and Trouba is about to start losing dollars he will never get back. Jets are in no big hurry, we have no expectations this year of be a playoff team even with Trouba. Let him sit

It makes much more sense. The organization (and fanbase) think he's much better than he actually is.

Trouba isn't asking for a trade because of money
Hopefully he looks at Toronto's defensive core and recognizes that he can have top line mins.
Seems like a fit for Toronto.

Your listing points for a D to prove your point? Are you to start listing the +/- stat next?
Go look at his real metrics, he's a #2 guy at 22 with potential to be a #1.
Easy no thx
What if trouba signs a two-year deal with a nhl out-clause with bern or ska? Do you still refuse to sign trade him next off season? You cant try to bully your asset into submission without risk.
Two questions for Jets' fans ...
Haven't read the whole thread, so apologies if these questions have already been asked.
- What's the likelihood of trading Myers to free up a top-four spot on Trouba's preferred side?
- Would you personally prefer trading Myers?

Not enough of a likelihood.
I would vastly prefer trading Myers. 100 times out of 10.

Jets fans are delusional about what they'd get for Trouba, a guy who doesn't want to play for the organization. They can make him sit, but why waste an asset like that it's not gonna happen with New Jersey. Considering what Jets fans think theyll get for a guy who regressed last year and has a lot of people wondering what his potential actually is.

1) Low
2) Yes
The problem with this situation isn't just making sure you maximize the return for Trouba. It's setting a precedent that an RFA coming off and ELC cannot dictate his usage and demands to the team - they don't want this to resonate to Ehlers, Laine, Connor, etc. Trouba is still a Jets asset even without a contract, and I'm sure they'd rather have him sit then move him for less than optimum value, because he's not being paid to sit.
The players seem to be on the side of the team for the most part, Perreault's comments being the most blunt (called him selfish). Trouba has little leverage, the only leverage being he's an un-signed RFA who's asked for a trade that the team has no reason to bend over backwards to accommodate.
You guys traded Larsson for Hall. And you think you can get Trouba for Severson and a 3rd?
Keep dreaming.
