Blockbuster 3 way:
Carolina:
Gets- Barkov +Roslovic
Gives- Slavin + Staal + McKeown + Roy
Winnipeg:
Gets- Slavin + McKeown
Gives- Trouba + Roslovic + 2nd round pick (2019)
Florida:
Gets- Trouba + Staal + Roy + 2nd round pick (2019)
Gives- Barkov
This was the general framework of the trade I was thinking, but I know pluses will need to be added to even things out more smoothly.
My general thinking here:
Why Carolina does this- They give up their #1 d-man and their 2nd line center, but they receive a cup-caliber 1C in return (the hardest piece to acquire in hockey to acquire)- thus why I think there is an overpay, but a worthwhile one. The hope is that Teravainen or Necas can step into the 2C role behind Barkov, and that Fleury/Dehaan and Bean (eventually) would be good on the left side as Hamilton/Pesce is strong on the right (assumed Faulk gets dealt). Carolina also gets Roslovic who looks like a solid prospect for the Jets and could be a useful middle 6 guy in the future.
Why Winnipeg does this- There are a lot of rumors surrounding Trouba, and I think a trade like this is one of the very few outcomes where they get an upgrade in a Trouba trade. They also balance their d-core more as they currently have 3 very strong RHD and only 1 LHD. Slavin would become their #1d-man immediately, and he'd be an excellent partner for Big Buff. Also he is signed long term where as Trouba has a lot of uncertainty on his future with the jets. McKeown is a solid RHD prospect who could help soften the blow of losing a RHD in Trouba.
Why Florida does this- Yes they give up their 1C, but the idea here is that they turn their one elite asset into 1 good and 1 excellent piece. Trouba would sign long term in Florida and he would fit very nicely with Yandle. Florida has needed to buff their defense and adding a young top pair RHD would go a long ways. He also could help bring out more in Ekblad, as Ekblad could thrive more on 2nd line minutes. Panthers also get Staal so their center depth isn't weakened THAT much. Trocheck is capable of 1C duties and Staal would take the tough 2nd line shutdown minutes that could help shelter Borgstrom. They also get an extra pick and a good forward prospect in Roy.
Let me know what you think!
