Trouba for Grundstrom, One of the young swedish d-men, 1st
- TheMussel

Would love this lineup, but doubt that Grudstrom/Borgman/1st gets it done, Boston would offer more IMO

Connor scored 30 goals last year as well, he wont be cheap next year either.
I sadly think we are headed for a trade with Trouba, but am holding out hope we get this deal signed. It's ok to call chevy cheap, but with the cap, its better to be cheap than over spend.
Wheeler's next deal is the one that scares me, I don't agree with handing out long term deals to guys his age, hope it gets done at 3-4 years, no more.
- Ross77

WHEELER WILL BE UNRESTRICTED...AND WHAT???...30-31-32 YRS OLD??? ...Oops, damn Cap-lock....
Anyway, It will be his BIG payday. He wil NOT sign a 3-4 year deal. He will want the maximum 8 year deal from the Jets...or 7 years elsewhere....and if he has a year like last year, he will command 7-8-9 million per year on it. He will be hard to sign. It is a tough pill to swallow. But, he WILL be going BIG and LONG TERM....make no mistake about that!!!

Trouba to the Leafs

That would cost a lot.

Ya......I dont think the Jets even look at that offer.

based on that offer...almost any team could offer more.

- Fakepartofme

That plus the Jets want to win now. Not likely to trade Trouba for futures at this point.

Agreed.
I see they may move Myers at the deadline...but other than that, why make drastic changes.

I don't see any team in the west in a better spot, including Nashville. And I agree on Myers being moved - he's not likely to get a monster return though.

i think it would have to loljegren, not borgman.

A player like Trouba is probably the missing piece for this team. I don't know what the Jets would want from Toronto, but it would probably be quite a bit.

- Tumbleweed

I would say no from this end. Liljegren is controllable for a long time. Salary does come into the equation and having a few really good players on entry level deals makes a difference on better teams. And from the Jets perspective, doubt they move Trouba for any package that doesn't help their defense now.

Trouba for Grundstrom, One of the young swedish d-men, 1st
- TheMussel

Fixed.

If any D leaves Winnipeg, it's Myers. No way they move Trouba unless the return is big and do we really want to give that up?

Take Myers, maybe he resigns, maybe he doesn't, we wouldn't lose as much in that trade.

It would probably have to include Gardiner which would just shuffle our problems IMO.

Be nice if we could get him for Brown / Kap / Dermott and picks or whatever..but I don't think that would get him.

Almost certainly would have to include Gardiner. Probably a conditional pick based on stats/resigning.

Wouldn't be a good move for the Leafs. All three of those players are on the current lineup. Hurts depth for sure. And besides that, Canes have extra d-men - and have a serious boner for Kap. Wild are shopping Spurgeon, so depleting the lineup to get Trouba - who will be a UFA in 2 years not ideal.

One of Myers, Spurgeon or Pesce would be great if the price is reasonable.

Interesting proposal.. Trouba for Grundstrom, Liljegrin and a 1st? Or do you mean Rosen and not Liljegren?

That trade would be with Trouba signed...those were just guys who we could afford...I wasn't really meaning all of them...even though it may cost us almost that.

I'm not a fan of Gardiner but I don't think we can include him in a trade for another D...I realize that he does bring something....not as much as Corsi suggests but still something more then Z/Dermott/LOlgren/Carrick etc.

Oh, please, please, please be him..

Brett Pesce..

Then again, if Gards wants a raise...not sure even Winn would want him.

*I'm so confused*

Gardiner is a different type of defender, in the sense that Gardiner doesn't really defend..
Trouba can play defense.. If the Jets want an offensively gifted D-Man for Trouba.. I think both teams would win the trade.

Trading Gardiner would almost certainly mean that Dermott would get more ice time

I think if Gardiner were apart of the trade, the Jets as well would need a new deal done before hand. Although our best d prospects right now are all LH so its not a great fit. as for the forwards, nothing against them but the Jets already have Petan, Vessalaine, Appleton ( last years Rookie of the year in the AHL ) Lemieux, and others all currently outside the lineup fighting to get in. I am holding up hope for a long term deal, trading Trouba and re signing Myers is a big mistake. I get that we may not have a choice though if Trouba wont sign here

I agree with you, but I'm not sure i'd be the guy giving him that deal.

Probably not good trading partners unless we give up Nylander and make a bigger deal

30 point defenseman with disappointing shot suppression numbers. So, not really, he doesn't do either very well.
