Proposal: Trouba traded to Rangers

[The Wizard of Oz]

I hope everyone knows Trouba isn’t a number one. I know our fan base has had an intense fascination with him for a while but I’d have a look at what the Jets fans think of him. He isn’t Lidstrom, he isn’t Refalski, he’s basically Mike Green if Green could survive 80 games.

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

This. 6OA at this point means nothing to me. The only picks I'm not trading for Trouba are 1/2. Anything other than that would absolutely be on the table. I don't care where the pick is, if we can leverage it to add a #1D, one of the major pieces that we're missing, that fits with the core of this team. How is that even debatable? Do I think we're still a lottery team next year? Probably. But we've got a piece that will age with the players that we want to build around and literally the one thing that almost every team in the league is looking for with the exception of a few. This isn't Karlsson who will be 33-35 by the time we're ready to compete.

He isn't even Winnipegs best dman

He's never really been given a chance to be a #1, which is the main reason he wants out of Winnipeg.

Which would make him the best d-man on the Wings' roster.

One down, one to go.

Raise your hand if you're losing sleep about it.

I hope this passes as quickly for those who wanted to trade Larkin for Myers did.

Trouba today equals myers from 2015. A trade makes sense only to a point

I'm only interested in Trouba in the open market. Now that EK65 re-upped with the Sharks the FOMO will be in FULL FORCE!

he isn’t Refalski

True. Rafalski was 26 by the time he touched NHL ice. At 25, Trouba has over 400 NHL games.

What I'm trying to say here is Rafalski wasn't Rafalski at this stage in his career. Trouba is drumming up so much interest because he's poised to make the next step in his career. He had a fantastic offensive year and he's a steady defensive presence. By all accounts, he's ready to be a top pairing blueliner.

Mike Green who had 76 points in 75 games as a 25 year old?

 

[Christien]

Trouba to the Rangers...

 

[ZDH]

Funs over.

He's a ranger thank f***ing God.

 

[Claypool]

So looks like they would have had to deal Hronek and the 6th overall? Not worth.

 

[lidstromiscool]

Pionk and 20th overall for Trouba. Pretty similar to Cholowski + our 2nd. Hope he doesn't sign an extension...

 

[Bench]

This is a setback.

 

[Heaton]

Huh? It was Pionk and the 20th overall.

 

[lidstromiscool]

While I'm fine not getting Trouba, Hronek or 6th overall are individually way more valuable than Pionk and 20

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Yes! Hopefully he doesn't sign an extension and comes to Detroit next year, and if he doesn't who cares!

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Lmao@ Sean Avery's "sources"

 

[Ezekial]

Welp, ship sailed. Let's find a new avenue then.

 

[Hen Kolland]

I’ll put money on his extension before the draft.

For sure.


E:Nevemind I guess

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

For all the people saying Yzerman could see if Trouba wanted to sign an extension pro-trade. He could have f***ed us over after we traded assets.....

 

[Ezekial]

It's funny, they're getting their pick back. 2 months of Hayes + Pionk for Trouba. Yikes.

 

[Sparty]

So they traded Trouba for two months of Kevin Hayes and Neal Pionk, seems like a bad deal for the Jets.

PK Subban... Come on down!!
