How reliable are Brooks when it comes to trade rumours?

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

The wheels of the Yzerplan are coming off...

Love this if true, hard player to play against, perfect partner for Edvinsson

I try and make a habit out of not getting upset about things until they actually happen but hopefully this isn't true

Trouba was straight up awful this year

and before anyone brings up the broken ankle i'm not just talking about the Playoffs, he said he broke it in March and he was awful all year

I’m okay with this if we are moving out holl, Maatta and petry.

Wtf is Stevie doing

Petry has a NTC

 

[Ricelund]

I think he’ll be a good partner for Edvinsson.

Oh I know he does lol, it’s why I don’t think I’m good with this. Would way rather just sign Roy

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

And what would we have to give up? Trouba is not the same player as before. Basically just a big name...

 

[datsyukfan]

And what would we have to give up?

They should be giving something to us based on how hard it is to move money (yzerman’s words)

I would take him and a pick back with 4m retained...

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

An old and slow 4 to 6 dman, albeit physical,, is not what this team needs

They will retain some money

He just turned 30 not really 'old' but he is just a name IMO. I wouldn't want him unless we get a prospect and they retain 4-5M

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

In the article it says they are vying for Stamkos and Kane as are we. I don't want the ghost of Trouba to kick us out of targeting these two!

 

[Winger98]

Id like Trouba here. Good partner for Ed, and he eats tough defensive minutes which would allow us to deploy Seider a little differently. I also like that Trouba is signed for just two more years, allowing us to either negotiate a smaller deal at that time or just walking away.

It sure would be funny though if thats exactly what ends up happening

 

[JediOrderPizza]

I'd rather have Trouba at 2 years than locking up a long term Ghost.


That's not saying much tho.

 

[Winger98]

We would still have space to go after Kane or Stamkos, though I think Kane was a bit of a square peg in a round hole here.

SY needs to inject some actual talent into this roster.. I'm not saying he still can't or won't, but moves like this if true, coupled with every single one outside of Debrincat suggest that's not his MO(Kane was a free gift for 4 months)

 

[Run the Jewels]

Yeah, I can see him being a good partner for Ed. Hopefully a substantial chunk of salary is being retained.

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

The fact they are willing to eat salary and trade him within the conference is a little scary to me....

 

[lhsgolf19]

2 years at 5.5 per would not be bad

Plus I think L-Simon and R-Trouba could work out really well together

I agree but that basically means we traded Walman to add more salary for Trouba and might hurt us getting a big FA
