Yeah, good point. Don't see what Arizona would have to offer then, it won't be Goligoski which is the Oilers equivalent of Sekera since they just signed him.

Winnipeg will definitely prefer to trade him out East.
We'll give a good offer for sure though.

I'd be very wary of giving up nurse. I have this image of him being a solid, scary to play against D-Man. Not afraid to shed the mitts. I'd part with any of our d-core aside from nurse/klef/Larsson and add in what ever kickers that would be needed.

Sekera has a no movement clause. He won't be traded.
Honestly, I wouldn't trade Nurse in a deal for Trouba. Nurse is a protected asset in the expansion draft and he'll be a very good d-man in short time. Pair that with the fact we likely lose one of Davidson or Reinhart at the expansion draft in this instance and it's a double-whammy on our left side. Nurse, Reinhart and Davidson are going to be good players on affordable contracts over the next 4 or 5 years to help keep the cap down on the defense.
I think this is an opportunity to flip one of Davidson or Reinhart (and a lot more) in a deal for an answer on the right side. Both of these guys would have substantial value to Chevy who doesn't have much in terms of near-NHL-ready talent on the left side. The problem is we might lose multiple 1sts in a deal like that.
Trouba might not drop the gloves, but he's just as physical as Nurse and is far better at actually playing hockey. It's not like he's way older either. They were drafted one year apart.

For sure, imo we should not offer Klefbom, but Nurse is fair game in a trade for Trouba
Nurse is a prospect, maybe he'll be as good as Trouba one day. If that's what Winnipeg demands, Chia would be foolish to turn it down. Need to speed up the winning process with this being the 2nd year of McDavid's ELC and the expansion draft shouldn't come into play here, worry about that later.
However, I think there are teams who would beat that offer so it's a longshot at best.

True. I havent seen a whole lot of him either. I just have a weird soft spot for Nurse. But I'm truly down for anything that takes us to the post season and brings us Lord Stanley.

Old news, back from May. Chia has already enquirer a long time ago, and if he was going to pull the trigger it would of been before Larsson
Thinking outside the box, if Trouba's trade request is about playing the right side, it would be very shrewd for Chia to call up Chevy to see if Myers could shake loose. He'd cost significantly less and then cost significantly less salary-wise. Of course that would be all dependant on whether Chevy and Overhardt to patch things up afterward.
Yeah I have a weird hunch Nurse will be a monster sooner rather than later... Really leery of dealing him...

Im thinking the same thing. But Chevy may be getting more desperate to move him now that camp is here.

Yeah I know. Thats the way I feel too. Part of that is because of the fights though. But fights dont win games.

Smart money is on Chayka stealing the show again. He's going to have the Coyotes absolutely fearsome sooner rather than later.

True but we are loaded with lefties
Having Larsson and Trouba balances our roster properly
It helps that Stevie Y is a GM of a contending team in south Florida where there's no tax

People keep saying this, but aside from snagging Crouse who isn't going to be a star player, and getting poor value to take on the Dastyuk contract what has he really done? Trade a 5th round pick for a similar Dman to Sekera and signed him until he's 36?
