Offseason Thread XX: Hockey Time

[HatTrick Swayze]

Trouba would be one of the few targets I would be ok with dealing Kreider/Miller/Hayes for.

But I would prefer to add Honka/Theodore/Montour. If Nash performs, those teams are contending, and the prospects are not NHL fixtures I don't think it's impossible at the deadline. Lot of if's.

 

[Kovalev27]

Gorton needs To be aggressive here we have assets this can't get away from him. Exact player we need

 

[Cassano]

We don't have the LHD that Winnipeg wants for Trouba. I think he goes to Arizona or Edmonton.

 

[NickyFotiu]

Did I read correctly that Trouba wants 7 mill a year for 8 years? If we trade for him is he worth that salary?

 

[Kovalev27]

No he's not

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

JT Miller, Dylan McIlrath and Ryan Graves for Jacob Trouba. Fair? Too much? Too little?

 

[gump116]

Three team deals are extremely unlikely, but what about something like:

ANA: JT Miller
NYR: Trouba
WIN: Fowler and McIlrath

Think this is a pretty fair trade all around. Anaheim needs forward help and has a plethora of D. Winnipeg gets a LHD plus McIlrath who is from there. Value-wise, it may actually be the worst for us, but we have too many wingers right now and can afford to trade one. We get a young, right-handed PMD, which is probably our biggest need. Would give us a top 6 of:

McDonagh-Klein
Staal-Trouba
Skeji-Girardi

Could also put McDonagh with Trouba

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

We don't have the LHD that Winnipeg wants for Trouba. I think he goes to Arizona or Edmonton.

Well now we know hes not going to Arizona or Edmonton...


In all seriousness, Zona would seem like a natural fit with all the pieces they have.

I kinda like this. Don't think it's going to happen, but this is pretty sensible all around. I think I'd want a pick back, too, though - like a 3rd or 4th.

 

[Avery16]

Trouba is a target I think you have to be in the market for. However, given their depth and their reported needs, I think he would cost a minimum of Skjei, one of our young forwards, and a top pick. That's for a defenseman who (though only 22) hasn't scored 30 points in a season yet. That's still great, but he might not develop into a premier first pairing defenseman, maybe just a second pairing defenseman. Erik Johnson had better production his first few years and now at 28 he's a second pairing defenseman. Would you trade Skjei, Miller and a 1st for a 22 year old Johnson? I wouldn't. Skjei might be a great second pair defenseman, and Miller provides a lot. That, and we could possibly draft a Trouba with a 1st round pick.

I think we probably pass on Trouba if the price is whats been reported. We don't have great enough defensive depth. If we could frame it around Staal and Nash, different story.

Lets say they would do Trouba for a 3rd round pick. Then what? I read he reportedly wants a 8 year/56 mill contract.

When have I been wrong?

 

[Calad]

Skjei+ for Trouba does make sense.


Maybe Skjei + Ottawa's 2nd in 2018?

Some other team is going to certainly put together a better offer than that

 

[TheDirtyH]

I would trade Skjei for Trouba without much thought.

 

[Boruto]

When have I been wrong?

Plenty of times kersh

 

[Boruto]

I would trade Skjei for Trouba without much thought.

Skjei + to Skjei ++ is the probable asking price.

 

[Boruto]

I still get a chuckle out of Dan Boyle putting Brooksie on blast and partially for his teammates as well. Never was a fan of that signing and never was a huge fan of Dan Boyle but that was his NYR career highlight for me.

 

[Avery16]

Let him sit. worst case scenario, we collect the 5? 1st rounders if a team is dumb enough to sign him to that.

 

[Ori]

Trouba want a trade and he is invited to the training camp without a contract.
It`s obvious to me that Trouba want a playoff team like Rangers and on the right side to get a proper development on his strongest side, but why do we need to use assets to get him?
It make no sense to me - they should have lost rights for the player in my opinion since they couldnt figure out a deal for him in time.
In soccer that is free transfer which happens indeed.

 

[NYR Viper]

Miller is the guy that makes sense. The Rangers have a ton of forwards. Miller and Trouba both played on Team North America. About the same age.

I'd hate to give up Miller but you have to give to get.

Mine is him punching Clutterbuck

 

[I Eat Crow]

Boyle's Rangers highlight is his goal in Game 6 against Washington in the 2014-15 playoffs. The Rangers won that game 4-3. The Rangers don't get to Game 7 and complete the comeback without that goal.

*****ing out Brooksie is a close second.

Weren't we up by at least 1 when that goal was scored? The excitement isn't the same when we blow a 4-1 lead.

Yeah, he scored the goal to make it 4-1, but who knows what would've happened had he not.

Technically that can be the case, he just has to hold out for 4 more years until his NHL rights with the Jets expire.
