Eklund Rumor: Trouba - Leafs, Boston & Wings

[Paradise*]

If Lauzon was in the deal instead of Zboril, I'd be fine with leaving Heinen in there.

I actually prefer Lauzon, so that deal would work for me.

Carlo + Lauzon + Heinen + Hayes

For

Trouba

Sigh. Both are solid nice ideal bottom pairing guys who can play as your #4 in a pinch. Both are very good on the PK. They are useful players. But, having two of them always seemed crazy.

We have the worse/outdated version in Mark Stuart. If he wasn't signed for one more year after this season (2.625 cap). Then I think Winnipeg could consider McQuaid/K.Miller.

Yup, I would do that trade as a Jets fan.

That's a tough one. I'm thinking the Bruins have Carlo on the no-fly list but if it was for his replacement to play top four with McAvoy the next decade I can see the appeal for both sides.

Carlo is a no-go; unless the Bruins bring in ANOTHER top 4 defenseman in a subsequent trade.

Trouba is better (now, and possibly always, but maybe not), but Carlo IS in the Bruins top 4; and replacing him with Trouba, still means the Bruins are short a top 4 defenseman.

Not saying Carlo is untouchable, but without subsequent trades, I don't see that happening.

Trouba projects as 1/2. Carlo as a 2/3. McAvoy is the added top 4 d-man next year.

 

[lifelonghockeyfan]

Might be hard to make a trade during the season. But Trouba to the Bruins with some of their near NHL ready prospects might be a fit.

Im on my phone so finding the source is tough at the moment, but it has already been said by some source that Sweeney turned down a Trouba/Carlo trade, with Sweeney saying they will not trade Carlo. I dont think that a large add like Lauzon and Heinen is appropriate given that Carlo alone was considered too much to give up for Trouba.

Lol, Trouba is far more valuable than Carlo

Your off a bit on what was reported. It was stated that a trade for trouba that "included" Carlo in the package was turned down. Never stated Carlo for Trouba straight up, that would be crazy bad for the Jets and I like Carlo.

Actually, it's reported that Boston has told teams that Carlo won't be traded.

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

 

[schenneuf]

Again, as I said 1 year ago, I would do a Rielly-for-Trouba swap. It makes sense for both sides.

 

[SLAYER]

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

This is false.

 

[Peter Tagli Eddie]

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

His rookie season hasn't even been his best season.

 

[Saidin]

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

Cause points right?

 

[JetsHomer]

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

Trouba's rookie season was his worst year in the NHL.

Thank goodness. No reason to move Carlo for Trouba. It accomplishes nothing for the Bruins. The Bruins should be shopping every prospect outside of Carlo/Mcavoy however.

 

[BrianFromAIH]

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

Trouba has played at a top pairing rate the last two seasons. Still is, and now he's putting up points like crazy.

I’ve said it before but Carlo looks like a guy who can only be successful in a very narrow range of circumstances and systems. He does well with the Bruins, they systems they run and the players they have around him but I think he’d struggle just about anywhere else. If the Jets traded for him I believe he’d regress to being a 5/6 guy pretty quickly. The Jets don’t want/need a quality for quantity type trade, they need that singular feature piece, that just isn’t there in this proposal.

Trouba hasn't looked like a top pairing since his rookie season

False. Trouba’s rookie season was his worst overall and the only one where he didn’t already play at a top pair D level.

Why on earth do you think that about Carlo?

 

[lomiller1]

He’s no longer cast in the role of defensive babysitter for a weak partner who’s over his head with the competition he’s facing.

 

[lomiller1]

I don’t like his skill set. There are only a handful of teams around the NHL where players like him can work and Winnipeg isn’t going to be one of them.

Yes, solid, 20 years old, 6"5 defensive defensemen who are not shy about being physical have no business being in the NHL. No one wants them.

My biggest concern would be how he plays without Chara (at least that's who I remember him playing with). Can he anchor a pairing or not is the question, because Trouba certainly can.

And what do you think is his skill set?
