A guy with a tiny bit of credibility is listing some teams that are in the mix. Not sure how much his word is worth but he's got more to him than the standard poster.

Just to add to the speculation since thats all this is. Doesn't mean anything as Trouba has actually demonstrated he is good, gets lots of ice time, etc but just interesting that he came out of an environment like this.
Though ftr do not think Trouba hates this city yet - nothing confirms that at all and we may not know, if ever, until afterwards. He does have some valid arguments despite not many wanting to believe it. But his dad, if the same in the case (GAIL & RICE) above, is turning out to be interesting side character in all this.
Not sure if I can just TL;DR but:
Vetted poster says 1. Three teams in the mix 2. TOR is not one of them 3. Deal likely after WCOH is finished
Some suggested in conjunction with his posts that McKenzie is on to something with NYR, ARI, BOS, DET. So maybe the three teams are in this list. If I had to guess, I'd say that NYR is not ready to part with McD, so probably one of the other three. Krug from Boston is the most appealing for me. Not sure if Boston offers that though..
Has anyone looked at the CAP for teams to make a list of whom can even afford Trouba? That might help narrow the list.
Just looking at capfriendly, and in conjunction with the rumors posted above
DET - $0
NYR - $1,400,000
ARI - $2,347,875
BOS - $5,831,666
There will obviously be salary heading back, but BOS is in the best position. Please no Chara because expiry date, or John-Michael Liles because Beyak, or even Zboril because development...
WHOA ! This could be Jack Johnson 2.0. (use google if you don't know the details...)
I think its down between Boston,NYR and Detroit
Torey Krug + ............ for Trouba
I don't know much about Krug, but his numbers look pretty good. Any chance he could come back or is there no way Boston parts with him?
Can't imagine any type of package that would be enticing in anyway.
OEL is only on this list I want but not going to happen. Trust the guy on the boards there (is vetted) but don't think anything has really come from those discussions.
In case anyone was thinking it, Larkin is an Overhardt client lol (also not LHD)
