Take out the pick from Winnipeg and add a player/ prospect on the Rangers side and you're close.

The Jets may take the 2nd overall pick and Lemieux for Trouba.

Depends on what he signs for. if he is asking for $8M a year i don't think its worth it.

2nd overall for Laine And Trouba maybe.

5.) 22 May 2019

What’s with these stupid Trouba values? He’s not worth the second overall pick +, you Jets fans are even more delusional than Leafs fans now.

What? . Really? The 2nd overall for Trouba? I think that's way to much for Trouba.

7.) 22 May 2019
22 May 2019 22:04:48
LOL KAKKO+ FOR TROUBA?

Come on. That's not even remotely close; 'may take the 2nd Overall and Lemieux', are you for real, they'd jump on Trouba and the 2RP for Kakko, LMAO.

In all honesty Chevy would piggy back trouba all the way to New York for the 2nd overall pick.

So, an extended, young #1 RHD will fetch less than he would as a 20 game rental at the TDL? I knew people here are terrible at assessing player values against picks, but this is actually pretty funny.

I can name 30 dman better then Trouba And 4 on the Predators alone.

Would you have traded that pick a couple years ago, knowing it was Laine or Matthews for say. I dunno who's comparable . maybe Petro?
Maybe not a good comparison, however, NYR are not going to trade either Hughes or Kakko for Trouba.

12.) 23 May 2019

Trouba is such very very good player, yes. We all know this is true. He is so good as the great Morgan Rielly, but only because of injury is he a little behind in development. The numbers are very similar, but the Trouba is one year behind. Next year will be Trouba going to get 60 points. Maybe more. Would Toronto trade Rielly for the 2nd overall pick? I do not think so. Even last summer before this year when Rielly has such great season I do not think Leafs would make this trade. And I do not think Jets make this trade for the same reason. We will see the great Jacob Trouba will break out next season too. He will be the best defenseman for Winnipeg, maybe ever.

13.) 23 May 2019
23 May 2019 03:26:06
So Kadris worth Stephen Johns but Troubas worth more than Kakko.

Come on bud. The bias is clearly, clesrly showing. Its insane.

14.) 23 May 2019
23 May 2019 03:47:15
I looked at defenceman rankings, only could find before this season but in one, trouba was ranked 38th and another he was 58th so he must of improved a lot this to be worth a future franchise player.

15.) 23 May 2019

You think Trouba would get more than Kakko at the deadline next year? Trouba is good, nobody is denying that. Kakko looks like he could be generational. He’s either going to get traded for less than you think or walk for nothing after next year. Nothing wrong with keeping him and going all in, but it’s a very realistic possibility. Deadline he probably gets a late first and a mid level prospect.

16.) 23 May 2019
23 May 2019 06:08:52
Yeah at no trade deadline does he get the 2nd overall pick.

I guess if you guys would trade the rarest position in hockey, a young, proven #1 RHD for a single magic bean, then you are more gutsy than NHL GM's.

I mean a top 5 player has never turned into a bust in the history of hockey, right? I mean you've got Yakupov, Daigle, Wickenheiser, etc. all those guys turned into superstars.

I guess fans would make the trade, as they only see the maximum upside in a draft pick and none of the possible downside. So, the draft pick always achieves his maximum potential with zero negatives for a fan.

But logical thinking like an NHL GM, makes you realize that a single magic bean for a proven commodity isn't much.

18.) 23 May 2019

The thing is, Daigle and Yakupov were one time busts.

Last few years you had:
Dahlin/ Svech
Hischier/ Patrick (the one true down year, but everyone knew that going into the draft)
Matthews/ Laine
McDavid/ Eichel
Ekblad/ Reinhart
MacKinnon/ Barkov
Yakupov/ Murray

The one true bust year was way back in 2012. And Hughes an Kakko are two guys who are basically like Matthews/ Laine all over again. If you don’t take Kakko over Trouba, i don't know man.

Look, with where Winnipeg is in their competitive cycle could they decline? Absolutely. Is Trouba going to get Kakko plus from the Rangers? Absolutely not. Everyone knows draft picks are gambles, but those high picks are the safest ones and Kakko floor is likely still a mid 6 scoring forward, with the ceiling of a generational talent. If Winnipeg knows Trouba is going to walk, and they’ve had contract issues with him in the past, then it’s far from a bad deal, more than they’d likely get from anyone else in a trade right now. Throw in a “proven” bottom 6 F if you want, w/ e. I’d take the elite prospect over a 20 something pick and a guy taken in the second/ third round 3 years ago any day. Proven players are traded for picks/ prospects all the time, and prospects of that status are almost never traded because of their ceiling.

I think Trouba is good but the bias is over the top here, he is not a #1 RHD put him on any weaker team and he doesn’t do as well. He can’t carry a game like a true #1 RHD. He is great but he’s a #3 D that can slot in as a #2 if need be. But come on in 6 seasons he’s only been healthy for a full season 2 times (he played 81 games one year so I’ll count it) and has only been above 40 points once. So say what you what Winnipeg fans but also know that if he goes to arbitration this year he’s not staying a jet for long and you’ll lose him for nothing next year.

I guess that's how we can tell that were all fans here. Fans would definitely make that trade, because they can only see the draft pick reaching their maximum potential, nothing less than that. They don't accept the fact that most draft picks don't live up to their pre-draft hype.

While NHL GM's deal in reality. The chances of a winger, as good as Kakko is, ever being as impactful as a proven, extended #1 RHD, the rarest position in hockey, is very, very slim. So, you can't give up that 1 RHD for a single pick, that may or may not ever turn out.

22.) 23 May 2019
23 May 2019 20:49:20
Well for starters LHD is a rarer position and C is more valuable.

Trouba has quickly become the best defenseman to ever play. It’s too bad he doesn’t want to play for Winnipeg. Considering he also has had a concussion along with other injuries, wants out and wants big $, I’d say you take the best offer you get and show him the door. If Winnipeg loses Trouba and Myers, the d core will be just as solid as their center depth.
Just curious Zamboni, how is it you text like a scholar when you first came to this site, now you text like English is your 4th language? Did you run into a wall named Jamie Benn just like the Trouba did, yes?

Calgary traded a 12th overall pick and two 2nd rounders for hamonic and a 4th, not the perfect comparison but maybe something to consider when judging trouba's actual value.

Harmonic also had 3 years left at under 4 mill a year cap hit. Aside from last year up to that point they had comparable offensive numbers before a potential trade. None of the picks were for the upcoming draft, all at least one draft out, and Calgary got a 4th back. It could be argued that Hamonic actually had more value then than Trouba does now and I’d take Kappo over the 1st and 2 seconds even with the first ending up being Dobson.
