An NHL GM inquired about Trouba last week, was told he is not on the trade market by Jets GM


Spector posted it last week


Ek is probably wrong, again

Wouldn't doubt it.

Unless Trouba wants out still, they shouldn't move him. He's a #1 D at this point

Friedman also said Avs defenseman Tyson Barrie was definitely available. However, he was told it would have to be a hockey trade.

found the trouba link

"NEW YORK POST: Larry Brooks recently reported the Rangers, prior to signing Kevin Shattenkirk on Saturday, inquired into Colorado’s Tyson Barrie, Winnipeg’s Jacob Trouba and Carolina’s Justin Faulk. The cost for Barrie was Brady Skjei, which is a non-starter for the Blueshirts. Trouba and Faulk were ruled off-limits by their respective teams. "

Fascinating coming from the guy obsessed with shot metrics. He's worse than Ristolainen.

I firmly believe Botts has a grasp on a lot of the more important prospects already. No more Regiering them into confusion. No more neglect. He's going treat them all as valuable assets that need to grow and simply won't be rushed. If being in Sweden one more year is better for your development than being in Rochester, then Botts will sign a 1 year UFA and wait for you.

I love what he's doing and it's extremely refreshing.

I wonder how Grigorenko could have turned out with true, proper development.

About the Tatar talk from last night...


I like Mrazek & would happily take him in a trade by himself
But if we could use taking his contract as leverage to get a good deal trading for Tatar (like how we took Pommer to get the deal on Scandella), that would be a win-win for us

I know Mrazek had a down year last season,
but the wings in general were a mess

He's a top10-ish goalie imo, and still young too... only 25
No clue why the Wings seem to be giving up on him?
I like him better than Lehner

Is there anywhere we could still trade Lehner though?

I want no part of that clown, and vegas didn't even take him for a trade chip. They took some no name bro.

Kane for Duclair and a small Prospect/pick add.
2nd for De Haans rights
Gorges(50% retain) for a 2/3
Bogosian ($950K) retain for a 3/4
Sign Vanek to a 1 year 3MM deal.

Even with salary retained on them...
We'd be lucky to get a 5th for Gorges
And idk if Bogosian is tradable unless WE add in a pick

Lol, no he isn't. It's not close either

some have said that the SHL is a better NHL developmental league than the AHL

Vegas did all kinds of dumb sh!t
McPhee is one of the 5 worst GMs in hockey

I've watched Mrazek play quite a few times
He looks pretty good to me

He is a total asswipe, though.
