Nobody has the cap space really. Lots of teams trying to drop salary plus trouba isn't worth that anyway. All his comparables are in. Hes in that 4.75 to 5.5 range long term. Lindholm is the only one worth more than 5.5

I guess what's annoying about this trouba stuff is.... there's lots of speculation but very little fact. If he came out and said I want to be closer to home or even play in the States. ... ok cool but it's basically been a bunch of bs followed by more bs

Myers is a fine #2 rhd. I'd just prefer the 22 year old with the number 1 pair rhd upside to the 26 year old #2. If Myers being traded means trouba signs. .. yeah I'd trade Myers but reading between the lines a bit... Trouba wants out or somebody wants him out. Daddy trouba probably playing a role here. That app thing and all that junk. I think Jacob likes Winnipeg. I don't think it's a winnipeg issue as much is it a wants to play in a larger American market so his dad can well.... market the trouba brand. Eventho jacob lacks the personality and probably ability to be the superstar daddy trouba wants him to be

The writer even admitted as much saying he was using comparable players like doughty and the such. Not sure why he'd use doughty as a comparable for Trouba tho

It would leave us in a bit of a trouble spot if a DB got hurt tho. I'd maybe think an extra import LB comes off or McDuffie if he isn't good to go.

Personally I'd take ristolainen at 5.4 over trouba at 5.4 Don't care about his stats.... or whatever else. I just think his upside and character is really solid. You know what... Ducky mentioned 3 years 4.8 for Trouba... maybe 6 years x 4.8 works instead. I don't think trouba is worth as much as Jones ristolainen or Reilly for that matter.

Ok Mr Trump. Crying again because you don't have all the answers like you think you do on every Damn topic I don't know. I don't think they want to trade him and will only trade him if they get that similar aged lhd back.

Why? Because he has a radio show? Lawless doesn't know as much as you like to think he knows. People on this site predicted pavelec fate long before gary lawless did. Actually lawless for the last 2 months was pretty certain pav would be a Jet this year.

I guess you are ignoring the Jets want a similar aged D man to trouba but LHD ?? Yup. They won't trade him for prospects

Lol. Myers doesn't get you Chychrun and a 1st. I actually doubt he gets either. Maybe Philly and Sanheim but no way a first. Man... our players are pretty over rated. I'm under the impression that if the Jets wanted Chychrun that badly they probably could have traded up to get him at the draft. They didn't want him tho.

4.8 for Trouba? On a 3 yr bridge? That's the Crack talking... Ryan Murray got like 2. Something a year on a 2 year bridge. Trouba won't get double that. And why compare superstar playoff performer kucherov to trouba anyway.

Sure he was. According to goalie expert lawless right. Turns out in Maurice and Chevys opinion pav sucks. Here's reality... Pav had 5 or 6 years.... he sucks. This decision was not based on a pointless for the most part training camp... it was based on what's best for the team moving forward.

Yeah. It does. Let's just call it 7 x 7 so 49 million. Since its over 5 years you take that 49 million and divide it by 5 and you get 9 almost 10 million. Compensation for offer sheets is based on the total aka 7 x 7 = 49 divided by 5 years. 9 10 million = 4 1sts. Of course that's ignoring that trouba isn't worth 7 x 7 even.

Helle and Hutch are here to stay. Pav is gone. If he reports to the Moose he won't be taking playing time away from Comrie. He will sit on the bench and occasionally when comrie needs a rest will play. Otherwise he's done for sure.

Michael Stone is a RHD 26 years old who plays for Arizona. Mark Stone plays for Ottawa. It was Mark who was nailed. Why tho trouba over myers? Cuz he's better than myers

I think trouba gonna sign with the jets shortly. Call it a hunch. I also wouldn't be surprised if Myers is then traded

You know, Crosby got hurt in practice tho right? He won't retire, they are just being careful but he actually go hurt in practice.

Except for the fact, that career 4th liner played more 3rd line minutes last year than he did 4th line minutes, and no... it wasnt just after ladd was traded, it was for most the season.... Thorburn sucks... that's the bottom line, he should hopefully be pressboxed this year because he's just not good at hockey, i'm sorry what does he bring to the team exactly? If his best trait is being a good guy off the ice, perhaps that's where he should stay, off the ice.

Bottom Line here... it's BULLSHIT... I'll just leave it at this, unless Friedman who said theres no updates of the situation or McKenzie or possibly a local writer or journalist says something... It's more than likely a load of complete bullshit.... Hockey Press is known to be kind of like the eklund type, make **** up just to get hits.

Lol.Calgary is gonna kill them, Willy or not, Calgary will destory Toronto today.. 11-0? Yeah that's almost over pretty much.

Well, someone needs to tell Paige that their are lots of quack doctors out there who will prescribe you just about anything you want if you have the money.... i'm sorry but if it's for something legit, then WWE doesn't suspend her, that's the bottom line, she knows the rules, she broke them. If what you are using is needed, i'm sure the WWE doctor would be more than happy to right a proper prescription for you. I'm sick of Paige anyway, she's such a basket case... i hope they fire her annoying ass actually. Cuz you know what, if you look back in history, theres a bunch of dead people who were prescribed stuff by doctors also, chris benoit comes to mind of someone who had a non wwe doctor who basically supplied him any drugs he wanted.

So Edmonton beats Teams who suck and they are peaking, we beat teams that suck and we are what? Getting lucky?

Trouba is a RFA... he can't be claimed, he can be offer sheeted but most teams don't have the space or the requirements outside of 4 first round picks (which trouba isn't worth) to make the offer sheet, Jets match all other equivalent offer sheets. I'd imagine they'd take the 4 firsts but noones gonna offer that cuz Trouba isn't crosby lemieux or gretzky despite what DADDY Trouba might think.

Sometimes, and i think Lawless does this also, you have to read between the lines of what Maurice (and his feeling is basically the entire organizations feeling) is saying... and if you did that, Pavelec being sent down was pretty obvious. Honestly, the second i heard Maurice say 1 pre-season game doesn't matter and we will be basing our decision on the entire body of work, well... It was pretty obvious PAV was being sent down or traded or whatever... his time was done. Because if you do like at the entire body of work, like i said before, well, Pavelec has the worst numbers of all of them, here's the deal, some might say i'm surprised they sent pav down because of how shakey helle looked vs Edmonton? Well, fun fact, Pav has several, more than 10, probably closer to 20 games like that a year in the NHL... more maybe... 1 game does not prove anything. But 5 or 6 years of below average by NHL standards goaltending by Pavelec shows you that, yeah Helle might struggle, yeah Hutch might struggle, yeah they will have some bad games and they will have some good games, but you know what? Pavelec had 5 or 6 years to prove he deserved to be a number 1 goaltender, bottom line? he didn't do it and sending him down and moving on from him now, considering he isn't in their future plans, it's safe to say he's done as a JET for sure now.... it's the right thing to do. It allows the younger goalie the chance to grow with the younger team in front of him. Pavelec wasn't gonna be signed after this contract and that in essence is why he was sent down, he's not part of the future and his past shows you that he's not good enough, Maybe Helle and Hutch might not be good enough either, but Pav has had 5 or 6 years of not being good enough. I know it's hard for some to admit, but the bottom line in all this... Pavelec sucks and has sucked for 5 or 6 years... he had 1 good year where his numbers were inflated by a flukey stretch of games, the year we made the playoffs, that was his only good year and it wasn't even a good year, it was a good couple weeks that inflated his numbers.... he went back to being the below average goalie tho that he has been his entire career and for that matter, the below average goalie he was for most of the season we made the playoffs minus his 2 week stretch where he was just out of this world... but the thing is, if he was just average for most of that season, then he wouldn't have needed to go on a hot streak like that at the end just to make the playoffs. This is the right move and I'd imagine, most people are thrilled with the news. This is 1 less player on their roster that isn't good enough. Now Thorburn and Stuart are the only 2 left. lol But i understand why they didn't waive them, because you know what, for as much as we like to rip on stu or thorburn, they probably would be claimed, so my guess is thor is probably moved in a trade later this year instead of losing him for nothing at the end of the year or for nothing on waivers, yeah maybe we get a 3rd rd pick back... that's better than nothing.. with Pav, if someone claims him (they won't) and if they do, that's awesome actually, but he won't be so you can risk losing him for nothing cuz he's an asset that has very little to absolutely zero value to any team in the league. And honestly, my suspicions about Pavelec became even more clear once maurice after the last game vs Minny, well, he talked about how he liked hutch's positioning, how he basically wasn't flopping around out there, mentioned strong positioning and the positioning argument, well, that's one of Pavelecs major weakness's, his positioning is poor, he has to make the spectacular save because he's out of position so much, where as helle and hutch, they are i guess more boring in net, they don't need to make the spectacular save because... well, because they have better positioning than pavelec does. It's a good day for sure.
