Sportsnet: Trouba requests trade

[varano]

are teams allowed to talk to RFAs, since they are 'free agents'?

He would seem like a player a GM would want to talk to just to be super-sure that he'd be willing to sign, and for a fair number

Yes this would occur behind the scenes whether its technically allowed or not. Chevy would allow it to get a deal done.

Yes, every GM is allowed to negotiate with Trouba's camp.

Chevy and Winnipeg isnt an idiot. This isnt a star with a big contract like Kessel or Phaneuf.

Trouba is a young player on the rise who can be a star. If he gets traded it will be for a big return, probably more than what HF thinks he is worth.

 

[Rorschach]

He requested a trade so he could play on the right side

Then he should get traded to San Jose.

There is no way in hell he gets what HF thinks he is worth. Have you seen some of the proposals on here?

 

[Goose312]

Random guess, Minnesota trades Brodin for him.

Not a chance without a contract in place. If his demands are really as high as rumored the Wild couldn't afford him, or at best could just afford him with a 21-22 man roster.

 

[Deen]

Flames offer Giordano

Have you seen the proposals? HF think he's worth way more than he is.
And Trouba wants a big contract, so you can put him in the league of a Kessel.

 

[Field of Dreams]

If Chevy wasn't asking for a kings ransom he would have been traded in the last 5 months.

The return for the PEG will be less than their fans are thinking and Trouba's salary will be under 5 mill per, maybe 4mill.

It wouldn't be the first time an Overhardt RFA negotiation got a nasty "this is our offer" rebuttal from the team.

He scuttled things with PHX and Turris - Turris got traded.
Butted heads with VAN over Kesler.
Butted heads with CBJ over both Rychel and Johansen (and some may say that partially led to Johansen being traded, and tension with Rychel that led to being traded).
Had Dubinsky miss a week of training camp with NYR.

This guy seems like a little bit of a pain to work with, as a GM.

Spurgeon is better than Trouba, beloved by the Wild management, and by Suter. Why would you think we covet Trouba over him ? They are also very happy with Scandella. No need to trade straight up for Trouba. He simply isn't an upgrade. Adding picks is a joke.

Wild will only be trading LH Dmen for FORWARD upgrades. If someone wants to cook up a three way, then go at it. We spent months doing that with the Hamonic situation.

The Trouba contract situation matters, and quite a bit, to the Wild. They are tight against the cap, and no way are they going to give Trouba significantly more than their other top 4.

JVR to Minny, Trouba to Toronto, and Brodin to WPG. Win win situation for everyone. I still think Minny needs to add to Brodin though. I don't see him progressing any further.

Source? Link? Nothing but a wild guess? Thought so.

 

[AimForTopCheddar]

Source? Link? Nothing but a wild guess? Thought so.

Maybe not 5 months but Chevy's asking price will definitely cause this to be drawn out longer than it should take and rightly so. All Chevy has to do is take a look back at how Yzerman and Snow approached the Drouin and Hamonic situation and know that the best option is to sit back and wait till the right off comes across the table or Trouba reconsiders his decision. No reason to let himself be forced to sell low on Trouba.

 

[Exit Dose]

I think there could be a 3 way deal to be made with these teams, but I don't think Trouba would be the one in this deal without a +.

I was thinking

To wpg: Theodore + Ana 3rd

To Toronto: Trouba

To Ana: JVR

Theodore isn't for sale.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Oh Winnipeg fans, welcome to Drouin town. Sorry.

Thanks. Why do all the drinks taste like pee?

 

[57special]

JVR to Minny, Trouba to Toronto, and Brodin to WPG. Win win situation for everyone. I still think Minny needs to add to Brodin though. I don't see him progressing any further.

No, no , no. MN not interested in JVR.

 

[Randal61]

See E Kane trade
Return will be VG

 

[AimForTopCheddar]

No, no , no. MN not interested in JVR.

I find that hard to believe. Minny's wingers aren't very good w/ the exception of Parise and Coyle. JVR would be a massive upgrade.

 

[Jumptheshark]

To WPG Hutton and Subban
To Van Trouba

To WPG Dekeyser and Mantha
To Det Trouba and Copp

To Wpg Sanheim and 1st (Top 5 protected)
To Phi Trouba

To Wpg Skeiji and Graves and 2nd
To NYR Trouba

Trouba is worth more than Subban and Hutton

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Heard this fairy tale before.

 

[57special]

We like Nino fine, and Granlund is switching to wing. Tuch is looking good in camp. Zucker need to come back this year. A one dimensional winger like JVR is not a need, especially for Brodin +.

Please don't tell us what we need. WPG and TO can get a room together and make a trade . Include MN out. We have a better #1 RD in Spurgeon.

Lou Lamoriello gonna swoop in

Hope so... but it will be costly. Nylander perhaps

 

[Flair Hay]

Source? Link? Nothing but a wild guess? Thought so.

What he's saying does make sense. People treat this like a court of law or journalism school instead of real life.

The Jets fans denying there was any rift are already eating crow, why continue being standoffish?

 

[LeafFever]

Hope so... but it will be costly. Nylander perhaps

I hope Lou does not even call.
