Eklund creating clicks again, in the past all three teams have been linked to showing significant interest in Trouba by multi sources.....not just Eklund.

If you believe the player & agent playing in Canada is no problem for Trouba.

Let's hear those low ball offers. Let's make it interesting, no players on the Jets are unavailable just some are much less likely to available. Creates bigger conversations and bigger possible deals (linked to Trouba). Quality for quality......don't bother offering a bunch of meh pieces for a great piece.....those posts never help a thread.

Less start by reminding people Jets aren't overly interested in picks as any main piece of a trade. Picks can be added as minor pluses to even out trades of course.

I'm bored and on holidays.....need something to read. Interested in Buff? Wheeler? Little? Laine? Ehlers? Other smaller pieces? Let's hear those crazy offers. Should include Trouba as part of package. Should be fun/amusing to read this.

I refuse to click on Eklund links...can you give a summary about his Leaf connection this time?

 

[Hunter368]

Further, Jets aren't in total rebuild mode, no fire sale....just retweeking alittle to fill needs and as per rumour possibly trade Trouba.

Not selling off all our vets or young players.

Same as other rumours linking Leafs interest in getting trouba to help their D.

Gardiner++ is probably the only thing that Toronto could offer.

 

[SEALBound]

Freidmen said MAF to Winnipeg and Trouba to Pittsburgh so...it's a done dealeo.

Problem there is +++ mean almost nothing to us b/c a + is normally smaller and b/c our strong prospect pool. Gardiner is the not type of guy we need imo.

I see only one D and a few forwards of interest on the Leafs, rest are no need or no upgrade.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

If Trouba goes we also need RHD.

We need expansion draft exempt D, so that means 1st or 2nd year pros or pre-pro prospects, 'A' prospects. Don't need borderline 3rd pair prospects or players. We have plenty of those already.

Heard that one, imo that's a ******** trade by the Jets. If Chevy did that he should be fired the next day. Friedman is completely out to lunch on that one

 

[Maukkis]

What has changed since the summer? Morrissey came in and stole the 1LD spot from Enstrom, which was a blessing. Buff is still there, but Myers hasn't been healthy after the 10 first games (during which he was our best defenseman). Our prospect pool isn't producing difference makers for the blue line in the next two years at minimum. The biggest need, however, continues to be our current blue line. Prospects for Trouba won't cut it, unless you count Werenski or Provorov as rookies...

Expansion draft isn't an issue, when it comes to Trouba - he's being protected over Myers any day of the week. Morrissey is exempt, Buff and Enstrom have NMCs. What we can't do is to add a player who needs protecting, as we are out of protection slots with our current roster.

So, if Trouba goes, we still have a hole in our roster, but it being on the right side, it would be even more of a lateral trade for us. Plus, Trouba is better than before, so it would hurt much more. None of the three teams mentioned in the link have the kind of defenseman we need to get back, so you can rule all of them out.

Doesn't that sort of make any Trouba trade lateral?

What's the deal with Myers...is he just never going to play a full season again?

Gardiner++ is probably the only thing that Toronto could offer.

And by some accounts Cheveldayoff doesn't want Gardiner it's Rielly or nothing so in other words no Trouba to the Leafs then.

 

[Ishad]

Are the jets needs unchanged from when the Trouba drama initially started?
If so, I don't see how the Wings can offer anything desirable without a 3rd team involved.

 

[Hunter368]

If Trouba is traded to one of the 3 teams, none have ideal pieces or are available, it would mean Chevy does a 2nd trade to fill the need on D.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Being realist here, MAF would never agree to waive his NMC for a team that's not going anywhere this year. I only see MAF waiving for team that has a chance to win the cup this year. And that's not Winnipeg.

I guess I can assume who the 1D + 3F are which is a non-starter from Toronto.

Kinda or possibly.

Josh M stole the top 4 lhd position.

Unlikely Toby or Buff are moved b/c nmc.

Depends on Myers health really and likely hood of trouba resigning.

Agreed and Jets would never trade trouba for him

Yeah supposedly this past summer, Detroit was trying to get a 3rd team involved for Trouba they said. One would assume Anaheim and possibly Fowler but the deal fell through probably Bob Murray not wanting to deal Fowler or something like that.

You might not be 100% correct. I of course didn't include Matthews.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yup Cheveldayoff would never trade his best young D man in Trouba, For an aging Goaltender in MAF that's having a pretty down year any ways. Any deal from Pittsburgh for Trouba one would assume that it would've to start with Olli Maatta at least.

 

[AINEC*]

As much as I'd like Trouba on the Leafs, I don't really see a trade that works for both sides. Leafs likely won't let go of Nylander/Marner which I feel the Jets would ask for.

And the Jets probably won't accept a Gardiner+Kapanen package which I could see being offered.

Oh so you know MAF's NTC list? Please list the teams if you could.

 

[realgoodleafs]

Connor Brown? I'm not even sure I'd consider him a better prospect than Kapanen. He just comes from Toronto so he has extra value to the fans.
