Sportsnet: Trouba requests trade

[A4T1L6]

They are going to get pennies on the dollar since he requested a trade. Trouba for Bailey and Pelech.

They aren't obligated to trade him.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Nurse++

 

[blueandgoldguy]

Right, except drouin was about playing time. Unless myers is gone it isn't getting fixed.

Trouba is about playing the right side at least according to the comment from his agent.

 

[Tasteslikekevinbacon]

Lots of room on the right side in Detroit. You guys want Cleary? Good locker room guy ya know. Toss in a signed Lidstrom jersey and a couple Little Caeser's gift cards.

All seriousness aside I don't believe the Wings have the pieces necessary

 

[Spazkat]

I'd do Nurse + Pouliot (+ Yak if Jets want him). I think that's fair.

I'd guess Chevy hangs up on you with this. Teams will be ringing his phone off the hook with better offers

 

[MardyBum]

Jus keep in mind, our biggest need is D, LHD especially.

A forward could work, but we alrady will have the likes of Petan, Dano, Connor, Armia, Lemieux etc fighting for one or two spots on the team

 

[Dr Quincy]

I doubt Maurice wants to be sat on.

Probably not, but he'd prefer Trouba doing it rather than Buff.

[SeaOfBlue]

Well you know the Leafs are interested...

At least it's something to legitimately talk about now.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Probably not, but he'd prefer Trouba doing it rather than Buff.

Well played

 

[These Are The Days]

Would Bishop for Trouba make sense?

I think so. But I'll push my luck here

Bishop
Sustr
2nd round pick

Trouba
Connor
1st round pick

I really don't think I'm being unfair here

 

[Jets]

The Rangers could do Brady Skjei with an add. They're very high on him, but incredibly deep on the left (they are looking into playing Skjei on the right side because of the depth at LD). Phenomenal skater. Very good defense. Offensive potential. Former first round pick.

Interesting basis depending on what other piece(s) the Rangers could throw in.

 

[Super Cake]

I think so. But I'll push my luck here

Bishop
Sustr
2nd round pick

Trouba
Connor

You would be wrong then.

 

[heretik27]

Tyler Myers would be the one to go, if he's ready to pass a physical and teams are willing to task the risk on him. He had knee and hip surgery over the summer and we don't know how he's going to come out of it. I don't want to lose Trouba, but if we do we better get something of similar value to boost our defensive core. Enstrom's aging, probably best he plays second pairing to take some load off of him. Byfuglien and Myers can hold down the right side with Postma playing 3rd pairing minutes. On the left we then have Morrissey, Chiarot, and Mark Stuart... yuck. Chiarot can be a serviceable on the bottom pairing, Morrissey hopefully develops into a top pairing LHD before Enstrom regresses.

Overall I'm not happy one bit the way this was handled if this was the only thing keeping him from signing with us.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

They aren't obligated to trade him.

And even if they were, they'd get a lot more than that.

 

[Canovin]

#mcDavideffect. Parayko is next to follow

 

[Quiksilver*]

It's not about just playing the right side. If that's what this was about, Winnipeg accommodates him, plain and simple.

You don't lose a player of Troubas caliber over something so trivial.

 

[orangecrush8]

I think so. But I'll push my luck here

Bishop

2nd round pick

Trouba
Connor
1st round pick

Winnipeg laughs at this offer.

 

[MessierII]

Jets fans denied the crap out of it but his contract demands were a trade request.

 

[Volica]

I think so. But I'll push my luck here

Bishop
Sustr
2nd round pick

Trouba
Connor
1st round pick

I really don't think I'm being unfair here

Yeesh, 1st and Connor for 1 year of Bishop potentially :/

Edmonton should get into this conversation.

 

[BusQuets]

Are you...asking a question...that involves two situations you made up in your head?

No everything must be fine. Who would want to make contract before training camp? Crazy right.

 

[Legend123]

jets fan kept telling me he wants to sign. Yeah look whos right.

 

[garyturner3]

Just curious, how did Trouba play during the world cup? I was out of town and didn't get a chance to watch anything other than highlights and the few reviews of his play I've read have been very unflattering.

 

[johna2626]

I think so. But I'll push my luck here

Bishop

Trouba

Why don't we throw in Laine while were at it???

 

[Vitto79]

A lot of teams could use him . Rangers one of them but for what I don't know . Likely not a fit
