Proposal: Trouba Mega Thread Part IV

[ffh]

how much does 30 mill compounding for the next 40 years give you.

 

[antiqueslivers]

*SNIFF* buh bye my yearly earnings in one day

 

[Royale With Cheese]

I saw an interview from yesterday with Cheveldayoff on TSN.ca. Trying to get a grain of info from this guy is like getting blood from a stone.

That said, he reiterated the earlier position: they view Trouba as a significant long term part of the Jets organization. Maurice the other day mentioned something along the lines of "I'm looking forward to him walking back into the room".

Hearing Maurice, and using my English to Cheveldayoff dictionary, I surmised that they don't seem particularly interested in trading him at all, like they think Trouba will eventually wise up. It's like a Mexican standoff, but featuring stubborn white guys.

 

[PhilJets]

Let's see after 10 games if the press to get a left shot D is that urgent for the Jets.

It would be nice, seems there is no match.

 

[wintersej]

It's a risky walk this hardline stance. Don't know if any of you folks have worked for an employer you had bad blood with. I would guess from this thread that every Winnipeg fan owns their own business and hates those pesky employees with their own wants and needs.

 

[YP44]

as crazy as it sounds Nurse probably holds more value to the jets than RNH just do to need.
Nurse++ for Trouba

 

[mondo3]

Allow me to be in the minority here. But I'd be fine bringing in a new center man for Trouba if he's good enough.

If Oilers retained 1/3 on RNH I'd think long and hard. That might be a no go however.

I agree...while we do need LHD more than anything else, it would be hard to pass up on RNH

I think the issue is more that trouba may not be necessarily steering his career.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

If Jets can get what they want, which everyone is saying LHD a top4.
Then grab it. But it's looking more and more hard for that to happened.

RNH bolsters the Jets top 9to the next level.
They can move Perrault back again to LW. He wants to play C. But he can play top LW for the next 2 years with

Perrault Schiefele Wheeler
Connor Little Stafford. And Laine RNH Ehlers

That is crazy top 9
jets still have many small pieces that they can swing to try to get similar unproven Dman with potential.Jets top 4 is set for 1-2 more years( if Morrissey is up to it), barring injuries. Plus they have 2 young goalies

In short: Trouba for similar left D, looks to be close to impossible due to options.
A Trouba trade for a high end forward then another trade to bolster the D, might be the next best way.

Upon further consideration, I'm ok with this. Morrissey is a huge wild card. If he pans out, Enstrom/Morrissey/Stuart/Chiarot is manageable, especially if we trade our abundance of forwards for a serviceable 2nd or 3rd pairing LHD. Enstrom is declining and Stuart is Stuart, so we can't just ignore this. The first few games will give us a good indication of what our defense situation is like. If it sucks, we need to appease Trouba or flip him for someone on the left.

 

[wintersej]

If it's his agent and not Trouba making these demands, sure, I suspect they will cave. Not sure if there is any reason to suspect that at this point, though.

 

[THall4]

Since when is RNH a LHD that Cheveldayoff is seeking, My Sister and her Children live near the Trouba's in Rochester Hill's, Michigan and he wants no part of Winnipeg and definitely doesn't want to play that far west but close to home near Detroit. So i doubt that it happens.

Well and an RFA whose rights are still owned by the Jets..and whoever does acquire him...if he wants to play in the NHL..he'll need to shut up and play where ever until he earns the right(UFA) to decide where he plays.

See Johnny 6yr old in CGY for an example.

his agent and his family in particular his dad. regardless though I really hope Chevy can find a fit somewhere and get a trade done. Best for all parties.

 

[Seachd]

The Oilers aren't in any position to make a trade like this.

 

[THall4]

If I were the Oilers, I'd pass. RNH is not someone they should give up.

2 months ago I would've disagreed with you. As long as Nuge continues this play, he can create mismatches for the opposition.

Kinda like the 3 headed monster up the middle now.

 

[THall4]

Nurse++ for Trouba

Larsson held more value to the Devils then Taylor Hall would've ...but when you get a player of that ilk, your foolish to not consider.

Oilers aren't adding a ++ to Nuge for Trouba. If that's the case, the Oilers walk away.

 

[Stej]

As a Jets fan, I would do Trouba for RNH. I think it's a very fair deal. We can address the LHD situation via another trade if necessary.

 

[Homesick]

Allow me to be in the minority here. But I'd be fine bringing in a new center man for Trouba if he's good enough.

If Oilers retained 1/3 on RNH I'd think long and hard. That might be a no go however.

Why would they retain on Trouba when Jake is looking for the same or more money? I doubt the Oilers are even considering trading RNH for a player like Trouba

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I'm sure it's a consideration. They can use a good, young RHD, and they're not exactly common or cheap (as they've learned).

I doubt we could retain on Trouba if we're trading his rights, it would have to be done another way. But I really don't think retention/salary is an issue here.

And yes, I'd do Trouba for RNH 1-for-1.

 

[Evil Little]

Alot of us feel that way.

At this point rnh would help this team alot more then a sitting out Trouba. In this case I wonder what Bryan little would fetch for a defenseman?

Well, one worse than Adam Larsson, so no thanks.

No interest in trading into the defense-desperate Hell that the Oilers have been in.

 

[Jeti]

It's Klefbom or nothing. Not RNH. Definitely not Nurse.

 

[LTIR]

Klefbom is better and cheaper so unless he demands out he is a non starter

Cheveldayoff: Trouba still a big part of the Jets

That's just Chevy desperately clinging to every shred of trade value, nothing more. If a player MUST be traded, you have no leverage. Chiarelli did the same thing by saying he expected Yakupov to be on the opening roster. That got us at least the chance at a 2nd rounder.

I do think Chevy will probably wait this out longer. If the Jets can win some games without Trouba, the longer this goes on.

I think you misread, I said Nurse ++ not Nuge

The big difference being is Trouba is highly desired, Yakupov... not so much. Chevy and the Jets have all the leverage, Trouba has none.

I think you are wrong as he is not under pressure from fans or owners to win this year. He also understands the long term ramifications of folding like a Walmart card table. Who cares if Trouba doesn't like Winnipeg? Buckle up buttercup.........this is going to be quite a ride.
