Sportsnet: Trouba requests trade

[ujju2]

That would have to be really good futures. 30 year old Sekera is not landing you a top 3 young, mobile, mean D man.

Sekera+Nurse? Sekera covers your short term, while Nurse still has a chance of developing into perhaps even a better player than Trouba.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

Strome AND Domi? That's pretty damn steep.

I wouldn't do either of the two for Trouba straight up. No thanks

 

[Langdon Alger]

Why can't Myers play LD? Or Big Buff?

 

[Brock Radunske]

This is a interesting chance for teams who lack top top RHD youth.
Would love for the Leafs to offer Kap + Corrado + 1s top 5 protected for him.

I wouldn't trade a pick in the 6-10 range straight up for him,currently.
If the Leafs are trading a 1st, it would be top-10 protected.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Jets fans are crying

Not really.

This really sucks on a personal level because he was supposed to be our d-man of the future but organisationally, there's going to be a LOT of teams calling. The Hall trade set the d-man price pretty damn high.

 

[Whileee]

Poor Winnipeg fans, they could be losing the most overrated player on HFboards

Thanks for the sympathy. Last time that happened it turned out okay for us (see Kane, Evander).

 

[Pongs21]

I was afraid this was coming.. oh well. I've been a fan of the returns Chevy has got to this point, very curious how this turns out.

 

[major major]

As an Oilers fan, this is even better than the Nurse proposal. Davidson is ready to play 2nd pairing minutes. Klefbom-Larsson Davidson-Trouba seems to me like a great top-4 with a bright future.

Wait til you see what the futures are though. I personally think Sekera + Nurse is close to Trouba value. The Jets get the Trouba replacement of the present and, if Nurse develops, of the future.

That would have to be really good futures. 30 year old Sekera is not landing you a top 3 young, mobile, mean D man.

By himself? No. But Sekera is basically similar to Trouba in ability right now (and as a neutral fan, I might prefer him for this year). A 30 year old #3D is worth a lot.

 

[LaPlante94]

Strome AND Domi? That's pretty damn steep.

Arizona GM is an analytic guy like Dubas is. I'm sure he won't hesitate to offer Strome and Duclair is the better possession player between him and Domi, so I'd assume he'd rather keep him. He gets Trouba and he has a really good top 4 on defense.

 

[couture23]

Yes he is.

Yeah, he's really not.

 

[McDavidbowie]

Take your pick from the Oilers LHD excluding Klefbom. Add if you want.

Nurse, Sekera, Reinhart, Davidson, Oesterle, Paigin, Niemelainen, Betker, Musil, Jones, Simpon etc..

The ask would likely be Nurse+ like it was for Hamilton.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Chychrun+Dvorak+lesser prospect/pick? Too much?

 

[Brock Radunske]

Oh god if the Devils could steal Hall and then Trouba a couple months later...that'd be unreal.

Who the hell is left to trade? Zacha?

 

[heretik27]

Chychrun+Dvorak+lesser prospect/pick? Too much?

Definitely too much from the Yotes side.

 

[CaptainSexyPants]

When you say things like "maybe" and "one side adds" rather than "Oilers definitely add more" it just sounds like you have no idea about their values. There's no "maybe", there's no "one side" as if maybe the Jets add, it's the Oilers adding significantly.

I'll flip that around and say that if you think the Oilers would "add significantly" to Nurse, it sounds like you have no idea about his value.

They wouldn't give up Nurse for Hamilton and he had more value at the time of his trade than Trouba does right now. They are certainly not adding "significantly".

 

[NYRangers3061]

Wowwwwww

 

[Jumptheshark]

RHD


Oilers are on the line

 

[Breakers]

Can somebody tell me why he deserves Drew Doughty's contract?

Haven't seen enough of him.

But apparently that is what he wants.

 

[larmex99]

What has happened with this?

Has Hamomic decided he does not want be closed to home?

You think adding a RD when we already have too many is a good idea? I see a future for you as Benning's asst GM.

 

[Terry Yake]

awesome

fowler+silfverberg for trouba

 

[heretik27]

Can somebody tell me why he deserves Drew Doughty's contract?

Haven't seen enough of him.

But apparently that is what he wants.

According to whom? No contract information was EVER leaked by either side.

Who the hell is left to trade? Zacha?

The only way I see Trouba going to New Jersey, is if Andy Greene plus some futures are going back.

It was a bad decision not to give up Nurse for Hamilton then and it would be an even worse decision not to give up Nurse++ for Trouba. Trouba is an established top pairing two-way RHD. He's better than Rielly, Larsson, Ristolainen, etc. Leafs fans and Oilers fans and everyone else likes to **** on this guy because Jets fans can be kinda annoying sometimes, but Trouba is the real deal and he's become ridiculously underrated on HF.

 

[FlamesFan18]

Trouba+ for Gio

 

[AustonsNostrils]

Arizona has a ton of prospects but does Winnipeg want prospects, they have many of their own.

Toronto fans want Trouba - the value of young dmen with top pairing potential we know is high. Marner or Nylander straight up for Trouba I doubt gets it done, Winnipeg will want a dman back.

Marner or Nylander
Gardiner

Trouba
Roslovic or Lemieux

I would hate the Leafs getting Lemieux as a Sabres fan considering I hated trading him, kid is going to be a major piece of ***** to play against just like the old man.
