If he is still wanting out of Winnipeg. What would be a realistic asking price? 33 points in 60 games, only 23 , top pairing capable and still getting better. Also low cap hit and RFA after deal expires.
Value of: Jacob Trouba

We can hold off on these for now. He's the #1RD now and going forward.
Also, for anyone posting trade proposals on this be prepared for some ******* responses, sorry

Puljijarvi + Nurse for Trouba + Lowry
Gives Winnipeg perhaps the best winger depth in the NHL and a LD with top 4 potential.
Edmonton gets their 3rd line center and one of the best Top 4 in the NHL moving forward.

Nevermind. I don't think he's worth what it would cost to acquire in a trade, nor do I think he's worth the contract he thinks he deserves.

Not a lot of teams have a U24 top line center that would be available for trade. Why? Because who in their right mind gives up a top line U24 player? Johansen for Jones trades don't happen every day or all that often at all.
That trade really only happened because the GM just didn't seem to like Johansen at all.
Trouba in this case, wants an exorbitant amount that he has not earned yet but has the potential to earn, he's got 1yr left and then he's RFA and a team will likely go through that dance again, at most he's a 5-6m/yr guy if he hits his potential, but supposedly he wants 6-7+..that's ridiculous.

His value was only magnified this season because Myers was out. Trouba is a big part or their defense for sure but when Myers is healthy and not dealing with some personal thing, it's Myers, Byfuglien, Enstrom and Trouba.
Also, weren't they using him on his wrong side which he wasn't happy about and when Myers was out and he finally signed, he was back to being RD.
So really, why are they moving him if he's a core player? Moving him for a forward weakens the defense, what would be the point?
Preds were able to give up Jones because they are just that deep on defense. Jet are not that deep on defense. Enstrom is in his final year, Byfuglien is the only one signed to a few years past this next season. Even Myers has 1 more year left after next season.
So I'm curious, why would you move someone you really need considering that if there are no other issues that are not being mentioned? To me it seems like he's a guy you keep.

I don't think the team or the fans would want to move him for anything at this point. He's too valuable to our team. Morrisey has also locked up a spot with Trouba on the top pair. Myers and Enstrom will be fighting over who plays with Buff and who carries the 3rd pairing.
Trouba only played a few shifts at LD and got the PP time he has been waiting for. Most importantly the anchor named Mark Stuart was removed from the equation.
If Myers hadn't missed the vast majority of last season I think the Jets results and our thoughts of what the D is would be a bit better.
Either Tyler or Toby on our 3rd pair would be MASSIVE improvement to what has been there. And they would elevate the play of the D they are working with.
So in answer to the OP it's an over pay or nothing (which isn't good for the other team so no real point).

That's not a bad proposal.
That's some very sound reasoning.Perhaps this is why Chevy is in no hurry to deal him.

Not really interested in Nurse at all and the Jets need D way more than wingers.
You're probably right, but I'm far more interested in Chabot than Ceci.
I'm confident that the Jets want Trouba signed, not traded. If he is traded, it's because he won't sign.
There you go selling dreams again, Don Draper. I really hope this one comes true.
I think it should be noted that, according to the official story, Trouba never turned down a contract offer at all, let alone turned one down because it was too low. Overhardt's story is that the Jets were not given an opportunity to make an offer at all, then, of course, he signed.
Jets should keep Trouba as he fits the age group of the younger half of the core... I would say offer up the #13 pick to teams such as Minnesota and Anaheim to see if they're willing to trade one of their LHD before the expansion draft; but are the Jets in trouble protecting their own D in the expansion draft? Looks like Buff, Enstrom, and Stuart all have NMC/NTC
I'm thinking Matthews is the only guy that gets a Trouba deal done from Toronto where I'm sitting.

Stuart does not need to be protected, according to the list Chris Johnston got from the league.
In any case, he'd be bought out if he did.
Silly notion.
Matthews isn't available.
To be honest, I wouldn't trade Matthews, Marner or Nylander straight up for Trouba, all three can drive their lines. Trouba would a nice add-on for the Leafs but not needed.
