I like what you are trying to do but your Trouba deal is an outlier. Trouba is close to being, if not already an elite right shot dman under the age of 25. You are suggesting Jet's take 2 B level prospects and 2 2nd round picks in exchange for their best defenseman. Never going to happen and these deals are only fun if it goes both ways.

Jet's want a top young dman of equal caliber, preferably left shot. I don't see anyway Det can make that happen. You don't have the pieces. Jet's signed Mason and have 3 good young goalies in their system, don't need Nyquist. DeKeyser is the closest thing but he's not a top 2 young dman. You'd have to include a Mantha or something and at that point why would Det do it? You wouldn't.

I would have to agree with Justevn. Maybe replace McIlrath with either (Hicketts or Saarijarvi) but I would think at that point along with the draft picks would secure Trouba. Rest of the trades look good.

I see what your saying. Detroit could replace of of those D men with Hickets or Sarrijarvi to make it work. I was confused on your comment about the Jets goalies. Not sure how that applies, unless you got Nyquist confused with Mrazek. But a top 6 winger in Nyquist, 2 prospects, and 2 (probably high) second round picks seems like a fair price based on other recent trades (for example, ARZ got 2 prospects for Hjalmarsson).
