Trade him well before they did, or overpay him. Either are better options.
That is because our goalie sucks.
Ah, hindsight. Hello again, old friend.
Overpaying him wasn’t an option , trading him well before makes some sense but we had a cup run to makeTrade him well before they did, or overpay him. Either are better options.
There were many people who said to trade him far before they did. And overpaying him is an option. Why not offer 8.75*8? He's worth roughly that.
You need to work on your talent evaluation. Heinola is among the best 18year old dmen with Bjornfot, Byram and a couple others. Chevy did well. Trouba is basically a wash against his cap hit.Pionk is a mediocre defenseman. He is above average in offense, but below average defending. Heinola is still a big question mark. You are delusional, and your Jets homerism is blinding you to the reality that Trouba was a huge loss, and cannot be replaced.
The trade is what it is. Hopefully Heinola will exceed expectations, and eventually become a top pairing defenseman, but please keep it real. The trade was lopsided, and the Rangers won the trade hands-down.
Cap space was limited. Jets were in cap hell after the 2018-19 season. To keep Trouba, we would have had to give up either Laine or Connor. Trouba also made it clear he did not want to play in Winnipeg. The situation with Buff was unforeseen, so Chevy did what he could.

Who would take Little off our hands? He has negative value with his contract.why not little?
I'm pretty sure that if Trouba had agreed to be overpaid and stick around in Winnipeg, you'd be giving us grief for that too. Moot point however, there was no way Trouba was staying here, what with his dad and fiance issues.Why isn't overpaying an option?
Hellebuyck stats 2019-20: 3-2-0, 0.919 saving percentage.
Hellebuyck career stats: 120-66-17, 0.916 saving percentage.
2018-19 league average save percentage was 0.909%
2019-20 league average save percentage = 0.905%
Yeah, Hellebuyck really "sucks."
Hellebuyck is no 6 million dollar goalie.
He is Pavelec 2.0
He made it clear that he wouldn't sign here and that money wasn't a factor in why. I mean maybe you could try to convince him by offering like 12 mil a year but that's just dumb.Why isn't overpaying an option?
How do you know what the Jets offered him?There were many people who said to trade him far before they did. And overpaying him is an option. Why not offer 8.75*8? He's worth roughly that.
Not really.Trouba is not an 8 million dollar player. Any non-biased person would tell you that, "projections" are also a bad way to try and justify a contract. #1 defensemen are worth that kind of money, a #1 defenseman he is not.
He makes as much as John Carlson, who is significantly better.
LOL
Skjei-Trouba is one of the best pairs in the league. The jets are josh Morrissey and a bunch of guys from the rec-centre.
How do you know what the Jets offered him?
