We have a cap crunch going on here. With no official draft party, we need a first rounder. Do we trade Trouba? Yes we will. Any good ideas?

So we trade Trouba so we can have a draft party? Rather keep him to improve our chances of having a Stanley cup parade at some point in the future. If he is willing to stay in Winnipeg long term, which he appears to be you have to sign a top pairing RHD just entering his prime. I still expect a mid range 4-5 year extension for Jake within 3 days of his Arb hearing later this summer. That will be the compromise.We have a cap crunch going on here.

We're presuming things have changed and Jacob Trouba no longer wants to move to a US market. There is no evidence of this.
Even if Trouba doesn't want to re-sign, I'm not sure I like the idea of a 1st round pick as the main piece back unless it is Buffalo calling. And that isn't happening. If anything a pick comes along with a nearly ready high end defenseman or high end center prospect.Seriously? Trade Trouba just to get another 1st rounder? This team is not rebuilding. Of course this changes if he doesn't sign.
I think you undervalue Matty P a lot and overvalue his potential replacements.The only trades that should possibly be made are ones to get as much value out of Myers and Perreault, assuming Maurice and Chevy are confident guys like Poolman, Vesalainen(/Petan/Lemiuex/Appleton for the Wing) can replace them without loosing a step. In theory it is a good idea but it could hurt our team by blow of lost skill, experience and possibly worst of all chemistry.
Yup, no way any of those guys replace MP yet and Poolman won't get you near the points Myers will. I think Poolman is the way to go on the third pairing though.
Im just happy he wants to stay because Trouba is awesome. We drafted him for this, to be our future. We don't need to go back to the draft table and wait another 6 years to have a RHD. We have our drafted boy now and we are into contending status. Him and JM are going to be such a sweet D pair for a long time. They're still young, their best years are ahead of them yet.
Chevy will get it done.
Yea at the end of the day we need a top pairing for the next 7 seasons and Trouba and Morrissey are it. As long as both sides can find a balance then Jacob will get signed.
