Value of: Trouba to Tampa Bay

[Whileee]

Do it Tampa 8 mil per for 8 years

He'd probably sign for 6.5 in TB with its no taxes, etc. Then the Bolts would pummel the no-D Leafs for years to come...

Did you check the goals against metric for Tampa versus leafs last season before posting?

The incentive being.....what pick/prospect/assets to take Cally's salary.
What would be the reasonable offer?

We wouldn’t need you to take Cally’s contract. We’d just need to get one of Killorn, Johnson, or McDonagh to agree to a trade somewhere, either as part of the deal for Trouba or in a separate deal with another team. If that happens then along with whatever we’re sending your way to acquire Trouba we can fit him without trading Cally (at least for the upcoming season); if it doesn’t we can’t afford Trouba long term without losing part of our core so it’s a moot point.

Personally, I would give up one of our top prospects to dump Callahan. Or a guy like Tyler Johnson.
Good luck finding other TB fans that would be so generous though.

Goals against didn't save you against Boston in Round 1, nerd.

This whole goals against in regular season is getting old. You'll all die on the flag with it. And we'll just laugh at you as we leave you in the dust in the playoffs where it matters...

Trouba is an elite defender that would really strengthen the Bolts' D. Leafs still need better D.

Now before anyone gets it twisted, this is purely a hypothetical of Trouba not wanting to sign long term in Winnipeg and the Jets HAVING to deal him. With that being said...

Why it could be good for Tampa:
Trouba's fiancee is going to University in Fort Lauderdale, she just finished the 1st of 8 years in December for her schooling. Florida has no state taxes, Trouba owns a condo in Auberge Beach Residences in Fort Lauderdale, presumably where his fiancee is currently living while she goes to school. So even though Trouba might want $8/year with the Jets on a long term deal. Yzerman has a lot of leverage to likely get him to sign at least a 7 year deal while his finacee finishes up her next 7 years of schooling. Trouba would likely jump at the chance to be closer to her, while playing for a contender.
I'm not sure how Tampa fans and Yzerman see it but Trouba would be a major upgrade on the right side and an ideal partner for Hedman.

Why it would be good for the Jets:
It probably isn't ideal for us but in the case of trading Trouba, Tampa is probably the place that can get the most value out of him. He'd likely sign for much much less than $8mil/season on a long term deal if it meant he'd be close to his fiancee and his condo.

So here is the proposed deal.

To WPG
Sergachev + Callahan (cap dump) + 2019 1st (late)

To TBL
Trouba (extended for 7 or 8 years)

The deal is basically Trouba for Sergachev and we take cap dump Callahan, likely buy him out and get a late 1st for doing so.

Or

To WPG
Foote + 2019 1st (late) + Callahan + One of Stephens/Cirelli/Joseph/Katchouk

To TBL
Trouba (extended for 7 or 8 years)

Here the deal is Trouba for Foote + one of the prospect forwards and Callahan, who is bought out and we take a late 1st for doing so.

Do any of these work for Tampa? Do they need to move more salary? Is the value to high for Trouba or to low? Ideally the Jets would like to add both Sergachev and Foote but I'm not sure what else we would need to give up in order to make that happen.

kudos for well presented documentation establishing Trouba would push for TB atm.
Whether Jets oblige presumably depends not on doing anybody any favors, but what the competitive bids on the open market are. TB must at least match or better exceed that.

Jets are a stacked team so the other factor here is not just value, but currency, i.e., assets that fit Wini profile of team depth, cap, etc.

Theoretically something can be done.
May need a third team to grease the wheel.

for some reason, I see Miller + for Trouba + as a fit.
