Gotta keep that Detroit 2nd and Edmonton isn't making that trade anyway.
Trade Connor for Mantha, that'd really improve the Jets!

What would it take for NJD to land Trouba

But the Detroit trade won't happen Yzerman already told Cheveldayoff the big 3 are off limits. That was actually told to me by A Jets fan and he did send me the link.

Kyle Connor? He is younger and outproduce Mantha. No thanks
I agree that EDM probably wont

Can I see the link. Then would bertuzzi or hronek be a available. I doubt it. I think that AA is more expendable for DET

But Mantha has size and will be cheaper, trade Connor and let someone else overpay him.

Oilers will trade you Russell for your 4.125M 3rd liner not our top RHD. Maybe if you add better prospect then a goalie we don't need and remove pick from Oilers side

I doubt that Connors next contract will be an overpay, unless its over 7.5 per season
Connor is much more dynamic and will be much better. No way I do that

Maybe our 2nd from last year in gustavson? Though I think you ae seriously underrating comrie. The guy deserves a shot and EDM will give it to him. he has some serious potential and is only 23 which is young for a goalie in the NHL

I think that he could be a starter in a year or 2 (I am very high on him and it hurts to trade him but he likely is gone this offseason)

Ugh that's a lot, really wonder if he's gonna live up to that kind of $$.

I think that he will. he has the skill and smarts

I mean Oilers have 24 year old that was just on AHL All-Rookie team with 2.33GA and 0.918 SV% better numbers then Comrie had.

I figure would take like Perreault and Roslovic or Elhers for Oilers to budge on moving out top pairing guy

I post it when I find it. searching through old posts on a cell phone sucks.

Ehlers for 2 years of not even a top pairing defensemen?? Lol

Who is that btw? Fair enough. There will be plenty of teams who would be more than happy to take comrie.

Severson and Zacha and a 2nd round pick if Trouba signs there long term, if he doesn’t it’d probably be Severson that gets it done.

I mean you have him playing on your top pairing. Basically saying 3rd line Perreault isn't enough for EDM to move Larsson.

The Goalie is Starrett. Oilers also have Skinner who was mainly in ECHL this year but had 4 pretty good AHL playoff performances with a 0.918 SV% as a 20 year old

I have him playing on our shutdown pairing. Our defensive depth would be Morrissey, Buff, then Larsson. The only reason he is playing there is he is the only shutdown defensemen we have, which is why I traded for him. The goal is to get a guy defensively responsible enough to shutdown other top lines with Morrissey, something that Trouba does (so he would effectively be a replacement for the defense that Trouba brings)

Though that package is accurate, I would rather have a 2020 1st than Zacha and the 2nd.
I also do not think he would sign long-term in jersey. They are rebuilding, not his hometown, are not a prome free agent destination. Trouba basically controls where he wants to go now

Your the Jets fan who sent me the link copied the whole. Out of the big 3 it would be Mantha. If he didn't go off at then end of the season 8g 7a in the last 10 games or so. There was a good chance he'd be on the block regardless of Trouba. But he did go off and after his performance the Worlds. I doubt he goes any where unless its in Detroits favor but he is still the most likely to leave. AA play last season and when Blashill looked to him to takeover when Larkin was hurt and he did quite well. Blashill told the media in a post game interview said that AA is there #2 center moving forward. My last point on why AA stays over Mantha. Is consistency and AA is more consistent than Mantha almost as consistent as Larkin. Larkin doesn't get 32g and 73p without AA and AA doesn't get 30g and 54p without Larkin. It's their consistency and speed that make them a threat every time they are on the Ice. So opposing teams have to account for both players/lines.

The article you gave me the link to says Hronek is off limits. Plus I think Hronek isn't far from Trouba comparing metrics and p/60 numbers its very close. Then considering this was Hronek first season and it was Trouba's best season offensively. I would keep Hronek over Trouba if it was 1 for 1. I also don't think there many people who'd agree with me on that and my opinion might change next season.

Bertuzzi - Larkin - Mantha was Detroits best line and I hope they keep it intact. I know Bertuzzi was off limits all season long but that was under Holland. My season tickets at the Joe were right in front of set of seats the Wings use for player's guests. Tyler sat behind us a lot watching the Wings even after his uncle Todd retired.

Source of this conversation between Yzerman and Chevy?

https://detroitsportsnation.com/steve-yzerman-has-inquired-about-native-mi-defenseman/mwhitaker/detroit-red-wings-news/05/25/2019/205223/
This is just the first source that popped up. I remember reading a different one

Why would Trouba have any interest in the NJD?

No way in hell Trouba signs long term with the NJD, He either wants to be near his family in Michigan or his fiancee here in Florida. The NJD are garbage and Trouba has no roots there.

Oh lol. But the article doesn't say anything about AA. In all honesty, I doubt that AA would be coming back anyway

Its the tweet which is from a good insider (he is usually right from the limited tweets I have seen of his)
As I said it is just rumours

You were the one who said the big 3 were off limits a little over a week ago?

Why do you think AA won't resign in Detroit?

I meant the top line. My description said "Rumours are that Yzerman has contacted Chevy about Trouba and the only reported untouchable is Hronek and the young core of Larkin, Mantha, and Bertuzzi."

I still stand by the fact that AA is DET's most expendable asset. Veleno projects to be a very good 2C and fits better in the young core.

I did not say anything about AA resigning, actually I think that he would sign in DET in a heartbeat. by "In all honesty, I doubt that AA would be coming back anyway", I meant that AA would not be coming back in a Trouba trade. Sorry if that was unclear

Because we’re an up and coming team; 3 1st OA picks plenty of cap space and a competent GM
