Trading Howden would be unbelievably stupid. He's going to be a stud, 3rd line center. The kind of guy that scores clutch in the playoffs. Rangers should pass on this greedy clown. Go hard after Panarin who can help develop forwards like Kravtsov and Kakko.

What's weird about it? I follow tons of people on twitter. And she happened to come up.

Maybe Stone saw the right situation in Vegas, Maybe Trouba is more pickier where he goes. But delusional Jet fan need to give up this notion that they're getting a bundle for Trouba. Don't see that happening.

Because she's not an athlete/celebrity or in the spot light. I don't follow anyone on Twitter but if I did I don't know what purpose I'd get from the postings of someone's significant other.
Sure, over 82 games which he's only managed to do once. It's hard to see using 82 games to come up with an average when his actual average in games played over 6 years is only 68?

Maybe Trouba sees the right situation somewhere else. Maybe he's not pickier.
You don't know. No matter how hard you follow people on instagram.
Just as easily say delusional Red Wings fans can give up the notion that regardless where Trouba is traded to in the next week or so that he will play out a one year deal so he can get to UFA to go to Detroit.

Seems like Trouba has been planning on hitting UFA as soon as he could for a while now. No matter where he gets traded to, why would he re-sign when UFA is right around the corner and as a premium RHD... he's going to get paid.
At this point, I would say the odds of Trouba signing with Detroit a year from now are better than him remaining in Winnipeg.

I actually disagree with you here. He is better than all of them. Just not remotely good enough to justify the price some people think the Rangers should pay.
If Trouba ends up with the Rangers and they offer him a solid long term deal to be their top RD for the foreseeable future, he would have a very tough time saying "nah, I'll just wait and hope I get a good offer next year".

Hes playing on the jets and I can say that the contract he will demand is not worth it
You sure can, you can also say the sky is green that doesn't make it true

Or he could just as likely decide to wait until UFA to hear other offers and probably get an even better offer from the Rangers if he decides to stay.
I think he's a bit overrated. Yeah, he's a minute eater. Yeah he has some good offensive instincts. Yeah, he has some size. I think he turns the puck over a bit much for how much praise he gets. Admittedly I don't watch WPG religiously of course, but when I do he seems to have some brain farts for sure.
Fair but maybe he has locations in mind (most likely more than one would be suitable destinations for him) and does not want to risk an injury in the last year before UFA and instead helps orchestrate a trade to one of the preferred destinations.

Obviously none of us know what his ultimate plan is and how things will play out. It's impossible to say this won't happen or this will happen, only that they are realistic possibilities.
The whole fear of injury narrative seems more myth than reality, it didn't stop Panarin, Duchene, Hayes, etc. from hitting the open market this past season. The prime guys are going to get paid no matter what.
I won't discount the scenario where he orchestrates something though. I saw first hand what a disingenuous snake can do when he sets his mind to it.

Don't like the sounds of this for the Rangers at all. He's going to cost more than he's worth twice - once to acquire and again to sign.

Trading a potential third line center for a young top pairing D would be incredibly stupid? For which team?
It's the duo that does it for me, too. Giving up a lot, paying a lot. I know we need a top RD and we (most likely) do not (yet) have that in our system. I also know I'm wearing... brown-colored glasses? Because we're always "in" on big names and so many haven't worked out that we're just all so thrilled to see them building a different way. So in that sense there's almost a bit of an over-compensation to go against the idea. But I'm still against it. At least for what I expect the cost would be in a trade. Please JD, don't make a "splash" move just to appease Dolan and his ruinous fantasies (I'm so happy his main toy is NBA).
I want Trouba. He really does help our D in a big way, we need that kind of guy. We also need another top center if we don't get Hughes. But moving out potential top prospects, a proven roster player like Skjei, Buch etc. AND a 1st (suggesting our own in this draft is laughable, though) or more? I'd much rather see what we've got, move some guys out, get some young guys in and then go from there.
I know guys like Trouba aren't available every year but this just isn't the year for us to be doing that kind of deal. Chasing Panarin? Sure. Moving out developing assets, our current position of strength, no. Not yet.
