Proposal: Trouba+Roslovic for Matheson+Borgstrom

[Critical13]

To me, Florida and Winnipeg seem like good trade partners.

Winnipeg gets an ELC top 6 C, and Matheson, who doesn't have the boom potential that Trouba's skillset gives him, but is a very good defenceman on a great deal. Slight downgrade on defence, slight upgrade in the top 6.

Florida, who has one of the best 1-2C combos in the league, can sell from a point of strength, and still get a very good, very cheap C who is likely slotted as a lower end #2. Not the same ceiling as Borg, but still a very valuable player. They also upgrade on Matheson to a more explosive player in Trouba. Trouba has strong 5v5 numbers, and I think he would thrive with some PP time. Ekblad would have more opportunity to range, like he used to do in junior.

Thoughts?

Change Mathesons name to Ekblad and then it will be a little more fair.

Jets aren’t trading downwards from a 1st Pair do everything Defensemen to a poor mans older version of himself(obviously there game isn’t the same but Trouba is pretty much better all around)... Also at this point is there even a gap in talent between Roslovic and Borgstrom(if there is than is it enough to make the laughter of Trouba for Matheson stop?)...

That doesn't add up - then you are adding 7 million in salary. Part of the beauty of this is that it opens up salary for Laine and Wheeler. Also, the gap between Borg and Roslo would be a lot larger than Trouba and Ekblad, so I don't think Florida bites.

What gives you the idea that Borgström is better than Roslovic? Not to mention significantly better?

Jets can still sign them, Myers cap clears out next season and so does Troubas(so worst case scenario we are able to move Troubas RFA rights for a early to mid round pick).

This offer is highway robbery here... Jets might as well trade Trouba to get Thorburn back if they’re main objective is to save cap space(just in case you think it’s not sarcasm, I’ll give you a hint, it most definitely is sarcasm).

I think Winnipeg wins this easily. They get a young top 4d with upside still on a nice contract and I'm very high on Borgstrom's ability.

You haven't watch roslovic at all have you.

Proposed by a Leaf fan as a good deal for the Jets... I guess it would be from a Leafs fans' point of view as it significantly weakens the Jets.

Mostly gut feeling.

Let me guess - he's better than Kadri too?

 

[IceManCat]

Big no from the Panthers. Trouba plays the right side, we would be left with only Yandle on the left side. Panthers are also pretty high on Borgstrom the difference between Matheson and Trouba is not Borgstrom

Would probably prefer to keep Matheson over Ekblad tbh. So yeah, it does make it a bit more fair from a Florida perspective.

I've seen them both play a decent amount in the NCHC. Borgstrom was far better than Roslovic was.

Where did I say good deal for the Jets?

I think the value is fair once contracts are taken into account.

Just stop this is sad

 

[Skolman]

This is a terrible proposal

 

[Romang67]

I've seen them both play a decent amount in the NCHC. Borgstrom was far better than Roslovic was.

And yet when Borgström starts playing this season he'll be just a couple of months older than Roslovic was when he became a full time NHL player. There is no doubt that Borgström was better at the NCAA level, but Roslovic is now two seasons removed from his NCAA career, while being roughly 5 months older than Borgström.

Florida doesn't make this trade.

I'd stop expecting 100% value for Trouba, he's not going to bring that.

You average 13,000 posts a year, 35 a day. You shouldn't be commenting on sad.

You're acting like Borgstrom wasn't good enough to leave last year. He was. People were shocked he went back. But he was on a defending champion and Roslovic was on a crappy team.

I'm saying that Borgström has to do really well this upcoming season to be at the same level Roslovic was last season, despite being older than Roslovic was. I'm comparing them at the same age. Borgström was older throughout his entire NCAA career than Roslovic was when he played his last NCAA game.

Maybe cuz they are at same age and Borgstrom played collage hockey when he was older then Roslo, kinda hard to compare them
When Borgstrom came to collage, Jack left for AHL/NHL.

 

[JetsHomer]

Trouba is better than Matheson and Roslovic is at worst equal to Borgstrom. What am I missing here

 

[StatisticsAddict99]

Florida doesn't make this trade.

Than the Jets should probably keep him...

You're right, you didn't say that. You just said good trading partners. That's where I got the "good" from. Sorry about that.
