Straight up, the answer is no, from Edm.

Yeah we'd love that one here in the Peg. Only time you'd ever see Chevy flustered is as he dislocated his jaw trying to agree to this fast enough. Trouba's going to be great for a long time I think, but he wants a lot of coin without proving that out yet. Some very nice prospects avail at #4.

Last time I checked, you have pay for talented players. What team can you name that's won the cup with plumbers? As an oilers fan I don't mind this. I do this deal and hope Trouba turns into that $6mil dollar D-Man so that oilers have to pay him.

Long term, Trouba will have a better overall career than Tkachuk.

In your defence though @Ron, I can def say I'll be eating my words if we trade him and he goes all Pronger/ Keith-like and late blooms into HOFer. Its for sure possible, I'm sure he'll have an above average career.

You assume Tkachuk is taken at #4. Also if you check any relevant off or def numbers on Trouba, anything over 4.5mil or so is strictly paying for potential which can be very dangerous. The pick is undoubtedly the better option for a team that may not cintend for a year or two. Saying all that, as long as term is reasonable (6 not 8 yrs maybe) I would not be all that upset if they resign Trouba. Would be a completely diff story if we weren't loaded with rhand dmen.

And for sake of argument @Ron, you can win with plumbers. Just requires someone like Brodeur or Roy in their prime. Certainly rare as heck but def possible.

Winnipeg would need to add.
