Trouba Trade

I would think that probably does it. Vatanen at $3m May be a little much tho for WPG

I'm fine with DK but that makes the return less going to Winnipeg.
Zacha should not be part of that deal imo

I have to admit I don't watch the Jets much being on the East coast and all so I'm not sure what they need most, but Vatanen is a very solid 3 or 4 defenseman who's great on the PP and is fine in a pinch on the PK. Also there's the Finnish connection with Laine. Cap savings from dealing DK in this so they can go for some good players in a deep forward FA period this summer and Vatanen would probably resign for a modest price with a contender like the Jets.

I mean.... you have to give up something to get something and Trouba is definitely something. Hes a bonafide number 1 defender in this league who still has his whole prime ahead of him. I'm a devils fan and even I get sick of seeing the package deals for good players that include Mueller, Mcleod, and JQ. I think Zacha would be an incredible fit with the Jets on a cheap RFA bridge deal to see if they can finally break all the potential brewing in him.

Devils shouldn't rush out and trade Zacha for scraps, the prospect of a 1-2-3-4 down the center of Nico, Hughes, Zacha, and Zajac sounds incredible. But Hughes definitely makes him expendable as a 3C. Having him reach his potential and never have the possibility of being more then that cause hes being blocked by Nico and Hughes is a luxury NJ cant afford if it brings a star defenseman.

Does anyone think Calgary is worth hitting up for maybe TJ Brodie. He's not Trouba by any means but he would be I think a decent 2nd pairing d man and he plays on right but shoots left.
