Proposal: Winnipeg and Detroit

[Vatican Roulette]

I think most Jets fans would do that as it takes care of our LD situation.

What about:

Klefbom

For

Trouba

As a base, or straight up.

?

 

[BStinson]

What about:

Trouba

For

Lindholm

?

Lindholm holds more value.

 

[Paradise*]

Lindholm holds more value.

There'd be a small + from Winnipeg.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

There'd be a small + from Winnipeg.

I agree.

Comrie perhaps?

 

[KingBogo]

There'd be a small + from Winnipeg.

For argument sake what do you see the + being?

 

[BStinson]

There'd be a small + from Winnipeg.

I guess it depends on your definition of small but I could see Trouba + 1st for Lindholm (value wise).

 

[10Ducky10]

Trouba and Petan for Lindholm and sign Lindholm for 8 years at 6m per.

 

[KingBogo]

Trouba and Petan for Lindholm and sign Lindholm for 8 years at 6m per.

I think something like this is in the ballpark. But not sure how much the Ducks would be interested in Petan. A 1st seems awfully rich even lottery protected.

 

[Paradise*]

For argument sake what do you see the + being?

A 2nd or equivalent prospect (Armia, Copp, De Leo, Lipon) etc). IMO Petan is pushing it.

I wouldn't do a 1st at all.

 

[Paradise*]

I agree.

Comrie perhaps?

Don't think I'd move Comrie right now. He's out best G prospect (not including Hellebuyck) and we only have a couple G prospects as is.

 

[Master Scheif]

I would add a lot to Trouba if it meant getting Lindholm. Doubt Ducks would consider unless the plus was more than we can reasonably give up.

Yup, the Ducks have no reason to trade Lindholm, he's a rare talent. Especially not for a lesser Dman (no offense to Trouba, Lindholm is just better now).

Trouba and Dano for Lindholm.

Can't see Trouba in Edmonton just can't.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Trouba and Dano for Lindholm.

This is still a downgrade for Anaheim, Can't see BM trading Lindholm for Trouba and Dano Trouba could still want as much or more as Lindholm and he isn't half of the D man that Lindholm is.

I agree that Lindholm is better than Trouba, but the difference isn't close to double. I still think that the perspective on Trouba's value has been dampened excessively based on linemates and usage. He's very good in all facets of the game and has a lot of space to emerge as a top-line D in the right situation.

I wouldn't add a thing. Don't think there is much to chose between these two players & that includes Trouba being sacked with a huge anchor for the last three years. Unless Trouba genuinely wants out, I keep him. Keep in mind to, if Ana wants to trade Lindholm, something smells rotten there too.

 

[Ducksgo*]

Your proposal still doesn't work for Winnipeg. They're the ones with the quality asset here.

Anyway you sugar coat it, it's still a weak proposal.

Agree with this as well. I would be extremely surprised if Trouba was shipped regardless of contract talk. He holds a lot more weight in the proposal than what is being traded back to WPG

Which Anaheim wouldn't trade Lindholm for another defenseman in Trouba. What's the incentive here to swap defenseman? Makes no sense for both sides.

Both players are extremely talented btw it would just be a nonsense trade for **** and giggles

Which Anaheim wouldn't trade Lindholm for another defenseman in Trouba. What's the incentive here to swap defenseman? Makes no sense for both sides.

It was explained pretty well on our boards by KingBogo. Basically, Trouba might be better off going for a bridge deal, whereas Lindholm, as the better and more proven one, wants long term security. We have the cap space to give Trouba a long term deal, but because of Buff/Myers/Stuart and the problems that come from them, giving the long term deal to Lindholm would be better. Anaheim, on the other hand, is pretty handcuffed by their internal budget, so two cheap years of Trouba, who would take Lindholm's place as their #1 defenseman would help a lot. Winnipeg obviously adds a decent piece. Forward prospects/young NHL forwards should make sense, as Anaheim lacks them currently.

Fowler - Trouba
Despres - Vatanen
Theodore - Manson

Trouba can play big minutes with Fowler, and on a team with Vatanen and Theodore, he can offer a quality defensive play and be in the first PK unit (and probably flourish, being on his natural side and not having an anvil next to him). In two years, when both Fowler and Trouba's contracts are up, the next wave of Montour and Larsson are ready to replace the inevitable loss of one of the two.

Lindholm - Byfuglien
Enstrom - Myers
Morrissey - Chiarot

Lindholm is pretty much slotted right where Trouba would be: next to Byfuglien, but this time on his natural side. His role would probably be very similar to Trouba's: chances of him making it to the power play units are slim. He doesn't necessarily fix anything, but he replaces Trouba, and even upgrades him slightly.

And what would the add be from us? I was thinking Brendan Lemieux, since LW is a position of need for the Ducks (?). Also, we could give you someone like Lowry for immediate help. The options are there.

 

[CaptainChef]

The other reason I don`t add anything to trade for Lindholm is that RHD are in much shorter supply than LHD.

 

[10Ducky10]

Myers, Petan and 2nd for Lindholm.

 

[Ingvar]

First of all, I think some Jets fans here overvalue Trouba: he is not in the same tier as Lindholm or Jones. He is in the tier of Larsson and Hall was horrible (but understandable) overpayment for Larsson.

That being said, he is a young RHD and that costs a lot. I said it before and still say that the best offer Detroit can make is DDK+Helm+1st lottery protected for Trouba+small cap dump. I wanted Detroit to snatch Byfuglien because I believe DDK-Buff would be one of the better top pairs in the league (and still would do it but the price for Buff would be unacceptable) and Helm is a hometown boy but I see how this deal may seem underwhelming. I can see Helm swapped for a prospect not named Larkin with some value and cap adjustments.

Helm essentially holds negative value to us, as we don't have any need for him and his contract. DDK makes almost as much as Trouba will make = no point in swapping them two around. That first has very little appeal to it, as it's protected and we need to start contending soon. Sorry, but it's Larkin or nothing.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

100% absolute garbage for Winnipeg.

This is the gif that keeps on giving. Classic.
