Value of: Ehlers & Trouba

[Liferleafer]

I think if you are looking to move both, do it in separate moves...

Ehlers and Trouba would return a ton because they represent two of the hottest commodities on the market - young scoring talent on a good deal, and a #1 RD.

But I don't see the logic in the Jets moving Ehlers to make room for Stone, who is older and arguably not much better in terms of overall impact. Stone will also be much more expensive, and competing for ice-time with Wheeler and Laine.

Jets might need to move Trouba next off-season (though I expect one more serious round of negotiations on a long-term deal), but I would look at futures or a trade for a comparable NHLer, perhaps with some smaller pieces on either side.

They aren't going to move Ehlers for a ton of reasons, not least of which is his great contract. Imagine if the Leafs were able to sign Nylander for $6m x 7 years. How likely would they be to trade him? The same thinking applies to Ehlers with the Jets.

Oh, i agree...just going with the premise of the thread.

In a scenario where we have to trade trouba, I'd be looking at stone. I bet he'd be willing to sign at home too. He's a selke level winger.

Just to be clear, I’m talking about a deal including both Ehlers and Trouba next off-season.

Ehlers out at 6m
If Trouba is re-signed for last RFA year at conservative number equal to this year’s value, out at 5.5m

Stone in at 8m
D prospect in at 0.925
C prospect in at 0.925

Net savings of 1.65m

Would the two be enough to start talks on Sergachev, Heiskanen, Makar, or Chabot? What about a tier below like Sanheim, Liljegren, Bean?

Edit: I love Ehlers, but there will come a day where we need to give up wingers for other pieces in this organization. Laine is never being traded, and Wheeler won’t get return much value by the team his NTC is done. I think Connor is the preferred winger for our team given how much praise he gets from Maurice and the leadership core.

Ehlers would be a great add, but its a luxury we cant afford. We currently have Giroux and JVR penciled in as the top 6 for the next 5 years or so.

Hell, Even Sanheim can't really be moved as we dont have much left in the pool to take his spot at this point. If were going to try and acquire Trouba the D centerpiece woul dhave to be Myers, and thats understandable a no-go from the Jets end. But we dont really have a spare top 4 LHD at the moment.

Jets have a ton of talent up front. If they move Trouba, they would need to fill his gap on D as a higher priority than another winger (with a roster that already has Wheeler, Laine, Ehlers and Connor).

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

Way too much. Especially if Trouba is fine to resign with the new team. I can't imagine what a team would pay for that but in terms of value it would have to be a quantity for quality type of trade.

It would have to be a quantity of quality.

It would have to be a quantity of quality.

Oh yes. I mean a top line winger and a top pairing D. You're looking at multiple firsts and high end prospects and young players going back.

trouba for tyjo

what if we ask nicely?
pretty pleeeeeeeease?

You were trying to trade Tyler Johnson for Trevor Van Riemsdyk in a previous thread, and now Trouba? Laughable difference in value there bud..

A guy said tvr for tyjo is worse value than Hall for Larsson so this should be fair
