No its not. Thats ridicolous. Trouba is alot better than Nurse. Sure Pulju is alot better than Armia but comparing it to Nurse and Yak for Trouba and Laine is laughable
Trouba wants to move to another market, and it's not just because of positional options. I have my doubts that he'd want to play in the Edmonton market, either. I think he's angling to play in the USA. I have a hunch that Chevy would have found a trade with the Oilers but Trouba and his agent indicated they wouldn't like to play there, and the Oilers subsequently found a trade with NJ that worked well for them.
Sekera + 1st is the most I'd offer as an Oil fan. Might be a different story if his agent weren't such a hard ass, but I have to think he's looking for 5.5-6 per. He seems to want to be paid for his potential ceiling, but only showing occasional flashes. I'm not super keen on paying him nearly 2 mil more than Klef/Larsson.
NYR gets Trouba, 2nd round pick, 4th round pick
Jets get McDonaugh
Armia is not exempt, credibility gone
You can bet Trouba will be traded for quality, not quantity. Keep that in mind people
lol no not close. Mcdonagh is worth alot more than that. #1D on great contract.
The McDonagh of the last couple of seasons is worth that and nothing more.
What about another avenue?

McDonagh simply isn't as good as he used to be.
Also he's 5 years older... I don't think we'd be adding. In fact I think you would for the above reasons.
I know a lot of Jets fans won't it but I think Nurse+ for Trouba is a fair deal. Nurse hasn't proved much in the NHL yet but he's big, fast, physical, and works hard. He will find his game eventually if given more time. Add to that that he doesn't have to be protected in the expansion draft and I think his value becomes pretty good.

I can't see Edmonton moving Nurse. He has a graphic in the new building - they see him like McDavid.
I can't see a deal between Edmonton and Winnipeg. Winnipeg will want cheap, expansion exempt talent. Edmonton's not going to give that type of player up without knowing what the contract situation they're entering.
I can't see a deal here.
I promise that won't happen. It never does in these situations. He's going to return a pile of "stuff". They always do.
The only thing laughable, is thinking that Edmonton's going to move players for Trouba right now.
If Trouba signed a long term deal, like Larsson's, at $4.167m for the next five, I could see teams lining up.
His contract situation makes him somewhat untradeable. I can't see a team giving up any real assets until he comes to an agreement on a contract.
Not really. As Trouba is a RFA any GM can just talk to him about his contact demands. So they can know before trading for him.
In a salary cap world, it's really all about the contract.
I can't see him lining up for a contract like Adam Larsson's, where he makes $4.167m for the next 5 seasons.
If Trouba wants >$6m? Very few teams can support that. You need a team that feels that he's the player they want, long term, and then you have to negotiate assets. Rare kind of trade, and difficult to make.
My guess on potential trades (canucks fan POV):
EDM trades: 2nd rounder in 2017 + Nurse | (or swap the 2nd + nurse with nuge)
WPG trades: Trouba + 5th Rounder in 2017
BOS trades: Jakub Zboril +2017 2nd Rounder + 2017 3rd Rounder
WPG trades: Trouba
ARZ trades: Merkly(or Anthony DeAngelo) + Fisher + 2nd Rounder in 2017
WPG trades: Trouba + 3rd Rounder
if my nucks want him it either starts with tanev or hutton which i dont want to give up. would of offered the package we paid for gurdbrandson if i knew trouba was on the market.
The reality of the situation is that WPG won't get fair value for Trouba, that's a given. That's not to say they will get garbage and some mid round picks either. Given the situation and circumstances WPG will have to settle for a deal that they normally would not have made. I believe most Jets fans do realize this but there are some delisional fans believing they will get market value for him, never happens in these situations.
