Apparently Trouba's asking price is 7M AAV, that is a massive number in general, and way too high for a dman on an already stacked right side. So I think they should swap him for a LHD, who has close to the same potential and is similar in age.

Jets: Trouba + Petan

Ducks: Lindholm

I'm not saying that Lindholm is open for trade, but if this is an option for Ducks I think they would take it. It'll improve their right side D, and then Theodore could fill in on the left side. I added Petan as he could maybe play LW and be that winger the Ducks need, but I mainly I included him because IMO Lindholm is better than Trouba, and I couldn't see Ducks making the trade if it was for a 2-4 round pick. Then obviously Jets get their top LHD.

Value wise, is that reasonable? Could very well be a trade that will never happen (well it won't happen) but how is the value.

I thinks it's close. IMO I think Lindholm > trouba and I'm not sure petan makes up the difference. But not bad.

and you think ANA wants to have the hassle of getting a reasonable contract done with trouba while giving up a better defender for that privilege?

Value wise I think it's pretty good but as said above, if the Ducks were willing to give 7 mill and long term to a D then lindholm wouldn't be in the World Cup without a contract.

No Lindholm is more valuable and doesn't think he's worth the moon.

I don't think Petan makes up the difference between Lindholm and Trouba.

Yeah I was just seeing how value was, I was thinking:

Trouba + Connor for Lindholm
But that would be a tough pill to swallow for Jets.

But yeah just seeing how the value is. Lindholm is obviously better than Trouba, but good points.

Trouba and Petan for Lindholm? Are you nuts? Disgusting! Just responding like you do but I'm actually just kidding around. But, although I think Lindholm is quality, Trouba alone has similar offensive numbers, is more physical and has a higher upside because of that. Adding Petan would be way too much. I hope his agent relaxes those demands if they are true though.

I'd be willing to pay Trouba 5mil, but 7 is literally insane.

No from Ducks.

@Mcjesus I was kinda thinking something like your counter proposal above. Ducks would need to add something back because the difference between Lindholm and Trouba is defs not Conner. Could be an interesting trade though. Maybe Ducks could add Ritchie or someone? Trouba+Conner for Lindholm+Ritchie could be interesting.

The Jets wouldn't make this trade as much as they would like Lindholm they wouldn't want to give up Petan nor Connor. A one on one deal wouldn't work for the Ducks as they have very little cap space and they wouldn't want to take on Trouba's salary or greedy agent. The Ducks will keep Lindholm.

Trouba + Connor for Lindholm + Ritchie could definitely start some discussion.
Lindholm > Trouba
Connor > Ritchie

Very interesting.

Isn't lindholm like a top ten-15 de in the league? Don't get why some are saying they are close.
