My goodness.

You can't get very good players for garbage. Not how it works.

Trouba wants out of Winnipeg after getting that one year deal, his asking price went down period. He will be leaving the jets if they don't trade him.

I think he just wants to go a big city.

His price never went down cuz of him being a RFA next year. Yes, he will be traded but not for s**t from Toronto

Leafs aren't in a position to trade for a 5M 4th line winger

Trouba worth a heck of a lot more than that
Or wait til next offseason and get him free

I tried both bridge at 5.5 then 8 per and even that was poo-pooed as unreasonable
Check "Bridge then Big"

He's still an RFA next year sooooo.......he definitely won't be free.

Not sure how that works, keep mixing rules of diff sports
So RFA one more year
I thought you can't go to to arbitration multiple times, which puts them in exact statement nxt summer
Either way leafs don't have cap space until 20-21

Gauthier Ozi and a 1st proposed ,is pretty close to free. I suppose 25-30 pick has value but those players have 0 value

Change Gautier to Kadri and Dekeyser to Mantha and it is a good starting point for a trade. I don't really dig this but wanted to give you constructive criticism. Cheers

Why do fans think Trouba wants to sign long term. He isn't.

So you give Matthews superstar money and then tell Marner and Nylander to eat **** and sign deals that are way under market value for them. Great way to turn two young stars into our own version of Trouba (Who's handling of contracts makes me say no to him regardless of trade offer). Even if the Leafs convince them to take bridge deals, that will cause major damages to the long term cap situation of the team.

Tavares turned Matt Moulsen into a 40 goal scorer and a point a game player, he never came close to matching those totals without Tavares. Moulson is about 10% as talented as Marner or Nylander who will play the entire season on Tavares' wing. Lets say you bridge Marner and he scores 90 points playing with Tavares, now you are paying him over 10 million a season on a long term deal when the bridge deal is over. Instead of having Marner and Nylander signed at a team friendly rate for the entirety of their 20's (Which is the length of their prime years, See Corey Perry as exhibit A that a players prime doesn't extend into their 30's) they would have difficulty surrounding these stars with quality players since all depth guys will have to be on ELC's just to make the cap fit.

Sign Nylander, Marner and Matthews at the number it'll take to get them signed to 8 year deals.

Leafs fans are so funny with how they propose trades. Never even consider including a good player/prospect leaving the Leafs, but target high end talent. Why would the Jets EVER accept junk prospects and a pick for Trouba on a good one year deal with an additional year of rights? This is at least a piece or two short. Get real man haha
