There's no Trouba trade that makes any sense and honestly RD is not a need for us. If we're going to be moving the kind of assets it would take to get a player of Trouba's stature it should be a young LD, C, or LW.
Does Truba have a lot more upside than Beaulieu? From what I saw last night, Beaulieu played like the player he was hyped up to be when he was drafted. I'd rather keep our defense the way it is and improve our top 6...maybe kucherov or johnny hockey :p

I still feel MB has one more deal up his sleeve before this season starts.
DD to waivers, I wish

Winnipeg is arguably the strongest team in the league on LW. ZERO need for a LW or a RD.
Besides, Patches is worth WAAAAAAAAAY more than Trouba.

If Petry can play his off-side, adding Trouba would be amazing:
Trouba for Beaulieu +
Petry-Weber
Markov-Trouba
Emelin-Pateryn
Next season (or following):
Petry-Weber
Sergachev-Trouba
Emelin-Juulsen
Trouba for Beaulieu +
Petry-Weber
Markov-Trouba
Emelin-Pateryn
Next season (or following):
Petry-Weber
Sergachev-Trouba

Really? I mean they have some nice young pieces there (Ehlers, Connor, Petan) but I'd hardly call it the strongest in the league.

I thought he's RW?
In any case, it is a group of prospects/young players. I would not call it the strongest in the league even if you include Laine (though it very well could be in a year or two).
I would say they are strong, definately not strongest, but their wings are very solid.
The value of Pacioretty is far above Trouba.
Trouba for Beaulieu + would make sense (from both sides I think)

They have him slotted at LW.
Ehlers
Laine
Conner
You're right though. It's not the best right now but it's absolutely a position of great depth and cheap young talent. They will be likely be one of the best LW group for the next few years to come.
Doesn't change that they don't need Patches when they can use Trouba to address a position of weakness and he's still worth much more than Trouba. Think about it. He's an established 30-40 goal scorer entering his prime making $4.5MM per year. Trouba can't even crack into the top 2 pairings on RD behind Buff and Myers on his own team.
My question as well.
How much more upside does Trouba have than Beau? Doesn't seem like he is tearing it up in WPG, and from his stats he hasn't shown to have a huge offensive game.
Fans always want every young player. We have our own young players lets give them a chance since the team has invested lots of time and assets in them.

Please, no Trouba. A 22 y old guy demanding to play top minutes on his side and demanding a trade... No way Habs should touch that.
But I am kind of worried that Petry might have to play left side. What does it mean ? Beaulieu on the market ? Or a leftie will have to play on right side ?

You cannot judge a player just looking at his stats. Jacob Trouba isn't a PK Subban or Erik Karlsson nor Drew Doughty. Jacob Trouba is a big defenseman that can play big minutes. He skates very well for a big guy and is solid defensively. He's got potential to be a top 3 defenseman. I would compare Trouba to a young Brent Seabrook.
