Speculation: Rumour, Trade, and Free Agent Speculation 2018-19 - Part II

[Mortimer Snerd]

I'm betting it's FLA or bust, for the Troubster.

Why would Fla want him?
They have Ekblad at 7.5 AAV. Are they going to play him on the left?

SJ has Burns @ 8m and soon Karlsson @ 11m. Ekblad and Trouba would come much cheaper.

I've heard Frolik's wife doesn't like Winnipeg.

So did Michael Frolik, well he heard it from his partner.

Good point. I wonder how they are going to be used?

Yeah, an Ekblad and Trouba right side would be rock solid for years. Really allows you to have 45 - 50 minutes of game covered with two solid pairings.

It’s not unlike the Devils having a left side of Stevens and Niedermayer.

Yup. The Jets would be thrilled to have Buff and Trouba on the right side. I think teams want to have at least two studs that can anchor a D pairing. Trouba and Ekblad would give that to Florida.

Well if Fla would like to add Trouba they have assets to trade. Right now cap would be their problem. We would need to take some back. They will recover about 9 mil after this season. Of course that means having to replace some players. But they would probably have space. Then there is the possible cap increase. Beyond that, we would need to take cap back.

OTOH, Fla is the most obvious place for Trouba to want to go. They should be the most able to sign him as a UFA in 2 years time.

made this out of intrigue... this is EW's WAR:

 

[Adam da bomb]

Am I underestimating Barkov? The way we talk about him here you'd think he was as good as Schiefle.

 

[Hunter368]

Barkov is very good.....

 

[Jetlaggedoil]

He is likely on the same level or very close to sheifle but hes also younger

 

[Adam da bomb]

Good to know.

 

[Duke749]

Barkov is much better defensively. But that’s more a statement on how good he is and not a slight to Scheif’s defense.

 

[Daximus]

Different style of player. But yeah Sasha is damn good.

 

[DRW204]

he is up there. 78 pts in 79 gp and is an absolute stalwart defensively, is also 2 years younger

 

[Trilliann]

Am I underestimating Barkov? The way we talk about him here you'd think he was as good as Schiefle.

He is, they're just very different type of players

 

[Adam da bomb]

Makes sense then why he was the 2nd overall pick his year.

 

[GaryPoppins]

Apparently Stone wants out.

Should the Jets try bring this guy in at TDL? What would the offer have to be?

 

[Huffer]

The idea sounds interesting, but after trading away last years 1st, personally I don't know if I would be willing to pay the price.

 

[rubikscube]

I would rather try trade for duchene and try sign stone as a UFA (not that we could afford him but in my fantasy)

 

[Saintb]

I would stick with what we have.

 

[Whileee]

Can't see how the Jets fit him under the cap, either this season or going forward. He's very good, but he plays a position of strength for the Jets.

 

[DRW204]

We can't compete with the bidding for Stone's services. He plays a position of strength and a more desperate team will likely pony up the cost to acquire.

 

[SM]

I’d be willing to give up a 1st and a prospect not name Vesalainen or Samberg.

Then pray he re-signs around 7-8 and package Ehlers with Trouba for blue chip d prospects
