Severson for Laine.
Then sign Tyler Myers to replace Severson
He is a RD and can play top 4 minutes.In what world does Myers “replace” Damon Severson?
There is no way Winnipeg does that. McLeod has very little value and Vats only has 1 year.Severson at his contract (which has 4 seasons left on it) will be more valuable than Trouba and whatever his next contract is.
Who knows if Trouba would even be open to signing a long-term contract extension here.
I would love to acquire Jacob Trouba. But not if Severson is part of the deal.
Would you guys do Sami Vatanen + Mike McLeod for Jacob Trouba + Dmitry Kulikov? Would Winnipeg? Vatanen gets very underrated on these boards. He is a perfect #3 defenseman on a contender. Would slot in wonderfully behind Byfuglien as their 2RD.
EDIT: Another point worth noting - Trading for Trouba is tricky because we have no idea what kind of contract he will command. If the Devils were to pull the trigger on a trade, I would want the extension and dollar amount already in place. That could effect the return back to Winnipeg as well.
It's always greener at first. Then it starts turning brown, grows weeds, has bare patches and voles start tunneling through it just like your old lawn.The grass isn't always greener
I'd sooner pay Karlsson a ton of money than trade what it took to get Trouba. I'd sooner trade valuable assets to get Trouba than attempt to get Myers.
Here's the thing. I want no part of Karlsson. I have no interest in trading anything for Trouba. That's how little I want Myers.
Severson's contract is also pretty nice.
I think when you compare someone like Trouba to Severson there isn't all that much difference... definitely not the difference Trouba is going to want with his next contract.
You aren't getting Trouba for 4.1 for the next 4 years like you have with Severson.
That would be even more exaggerated with any UFA, like Myers, who I don't think is as good as Severson.
Trouba is a way better all around player then Severson and that’s why he’ll get paid and Damon got the deal he got.
I would be thrilled if we were able to flip both guys with us even having to add a pick or a prospect.
We’ve been completely horrendous in our own end. The lack of muscle and fight from our blue line is the first thing that comes to mind when analyzing our porous D zone coverage and unfortunately Severson is the weakest link.
Trouba is more physical and can do what Severson does offensively, if not better. The contract he’d be getting would add about 3M$ to our current cap, but that’s the least of our worries.

Sami @50% retained ($2.4M)There is no way Winnipeg does that. McLeod has very little value and Vats only has 1 year.
Any RHD is a waste of assets and dollars
If Vatanen and McLeod are the main pieces going back for Trouba, I do that 1000 times out of a 100. But WPG won't take that deal.
He is a RD and can play top 4 minutes.
