I’ll take him as a free agent but I’ll pass on trading assets for him
The reality for most players is that they have a team they'd prefer, but money on the table is always most important. If Trouba waits to sign a new deal and goes to UFA, he's risking tens of millions of dollars. One significant injury and everything changes.
It's why players sign new deals with the team that they get traded to more often than not. It's guaranteed money that sets you, your kids, and grandkids for life. Personally, I wouldn't risk that for the chance I get to play for the Red Wings, even if that was a childhood dream. I'm a grown ass man now with bills to pay, my pajamas while I was learning ABCs don't mean ****. The Coyotes offer me $50 million and I'm now the biggest damn Coyote fan you've ever seen.
Yep.
And the reason for Trouba having an apartment at Florida is just smart tax planning.
If you are US citizen (like Jacob Trouba is), working temporarily at Canada (like Trouba is), and if you own an apartment at United States (like Trouba has) and are living at Canada at a rental apartment (like Trouba is, this rental apartment is the key for whole loophole), this kind of case in taxes will be treated with the US state laws. And Florida taxes are lot less than in Manitoba.
This is just a loophole what Trouba is using. His net earnings are higher because he technically lives at Florida. He plays at Canada with Florida tax rate.
I did read this case from Winnipeg side few months ago, when somebody seemed to know the facts.
It’s not your fault he doesn’t understand things , he just has to accept themYour'e missing a huge part in that back then players actually wanted to play here. If players want to win, they won't be signing here any time soon.
Those players he’s mentioned are no suter or stamkos , ones a dman who constantly turns the puck over and would get crucified at one point by the fans and the other had a great year and has been battling concussions his whole career but we’re gonna lock up these 2 to 7 long years, but ya pure qualityI'm not sure if you're trolling or not, but its not that simple. If it were, Suter, Stamkos ect... would be here.
I agree. I was arguing with a guy for no reason. He’s not a number 1 and probably won’t ever be but he’s a great #2/3Think he’d be a solid #2 with a true top guy who can put up the pts on the back end I don’t think trouba will consistently be putting up 45-65 pts yearly , good piece but not the #1 guy I’d want on my team
That’s just beyond ****en bonkers
I don’t understand how people are ok with these types of moves were a rebuilding team we can’t just give away assets and take one step forward two steps back
First the jets would want a 1st back so it’s more like the 6th or next years first which could be a lottery pick and cholowski and maybe ehn for trouba which makes zero sense , if he wants to come back to Detroit so bad he can wait one year and help the team he wants to win with by keeping our important assets to go long with himself ,now if he ends up going elsewhere so be it we have to keep building this team In the right direction with trouba or without him
We’re not likely to start making noise until he’s around 30, us trading for him now also likely means we’ll have to give him that 8th year and the way we been ending up with abdelkader and these horrible deals I’d want to stay away from that situation
I know it’s tough guys but stay the course and toughen it out a year, keep our assets and don’t get ourselves good enough to miss the playoffs and get 13th overall pick
To get Trouba offer Hicketts, Rasmussen and a 2nd round pick from either 2019 or 2020
NHL Rumours: Vegas Golden Knights, Winnipeg Jets, Detroit Red Wings
NHL Rumours:
Elliott Friedman mentions in his 31 Thoughts segment on May 12th, that Minnesota could look at moving both Jared Spurgeon and Jason Zucker. He mentions that the Wild would most likely want to keep Spurgeon, however, he is their most tradeable asset.
Analysis: It would not be surprising to see one or both of these players moved this summer. Spurgeon will be a hot commodity if he hits the trade market. The right shot defenceman is coming off the best statistical season of his career. He is also set to become a free agent at the end of next season. With the Wild most likely looking at a rebuild, Spurgeon would certainly bring back a solid return in a trade. The Toronto Maple Leafs are a team to watch here as they are in the market for right-hand defenceman. Basically, if a right-hand defenceman is available, you can bet the Leafs will be calling.
I wonder what Minnesota's asking price will be. He's only 5'9", but he's coming off a 43 point season and is a good PMD.
Doesn't seem like a good fit to me. I like Spurgeon's game but I wouldn't want to give up any assets for a 30 (in Nov) year old on an expiring contract.
But 29 yr old Swedes are fine...Yep. Trouba is 25 and is perfect fit to our other core (Larkin 22, Mantha 24, Bertuzzi 24, Hronek 21) in age.
Definitely no for 30 year olds.
Karlsson is UFA. Signing him is much better than dumping assets for Trouba because of #FOMO2020But 29 yr old Swedes are fine...
But 29 yr old Swedes are fine...
Moved my own comment here from another Topic...
...discussion about LhD defencemen:
Cholowski looked promising, and McIsaac is developing better than expected. DeKeyser is also good for many years to come. We don't have kind of need to draft LD at this point. If we need some, it's easiest to find from UFA market.
Well if I have to hear one more time about how washed up a guy we agree isn't playing at 100% but is leading the entire playoffs in assists is, I might pull out what remains of my hair.
Why would we want the best offensive D-man since Paul Coffey... Yeah that would stink...
Oh and for free.
Hey if we can get Trouba great, but if we can get Karlsson that would be huge for this organization. Dude is a superstar, we need more talent and there isn't a better offensive D-man in the league than him over the last decade and at worst you're looking at a top 10 offensive d-man for at least five years of that contract in my opinion. I really cannot wrap my head around it, I mean if it was your money I guess, even then insure the contract and take the gamble on a guy that has the ability to dominate games and make at least half of our games infinitely more watchable next year.
Isn't Henkka on the resigning Nyquist side of things? That is who I thought he was talking about honestly.
But 29 yr old Swedes are fine...
Yup, I was gonna say that DeKeyser in his prime is still DeKeyser.Nothing about Dekeyser is good. He is below average in many facets of the game, and really only has reach and the decent skating for a big guy. He doesn't bring offence, doesn't protect the goalie at all or teammates in scrums, and he is terrible at getting the puck out of the zone. He and Ericsson both suck at flipping the puck out of the zone, especially on the PK. So many times, both of these guys weakly shoot it around the boards and of course don't get it out. NHL'ers should have no issue simply lobbing the puck out of the zone, but these two both, even when unpressured can't seem to figure it out.

He's actually the primary reason why the team needs to draft a LD. If this is what we get in his prime, imagine what we get when he's UFA at 32 yo. That's not someone you want to re-sign because you left yourself no other option.
Keep in mind any D drafted this year will take at least 2 - 3 years to develop, the plan should be to draft DDK's replacement with one of the 2nd round picks.
Unmm, because you need 3 defensemen on each side?Ehhh....
They have already drafted Cholowski and McISaac, who'll look very promising and succesful picks. Why on earth these guys will disappear totally in these discussions?
Also DeKeyser becomes good, when this team overall becomes good. He has just become the basic bad-team-whipping-boy.
Unmm, because you need 3 defensemen on each side?
DeKeyser's not going to suddenly become good. That doesn't just happen. He's not even an adequate 3rd pair defenseman on a team with Cup aspirations. He's just another Lebda/Lilja/Quincey type, he'll be out of the league within a couple of years if the Wings don't re-sign him at the end of his contract.
The only way DeKeyser looks good is if he's paired with someone like John Carlson, who's good enough to make Alzner and Kempny look like legit NHLers. That's not gonna happen wit the Wings.
