Brekel's Bruins Outlook (1/3)

i say this eveytime: jets are not moving trouba

I don't see the need of trading Carlo for Trouba. He's younger, and at this point I feel he has a higher ceiling than Trouba as a complete d-man.

I don't see Carlo's offense being overall great. I love the kid and his upside, but Trouba helps more now (than Carlo does) as well as the future. He's 22 years old. He's much farther along offensively and is solid defensively. If you can get Trouba for Carlo (plus other pieces), you do it because you get better now, and still acquired a defenseman for down the road.

Okay. Well, something is going to give with Trouba because does he really want to stay in Winnipeg? Why didn't he sign a longer term deal? The deal he signed actually makes him much easier to move because he's got some term now. Package wise, this is a pretty good offer for him. Winny gets a good forward with some upside, a solid defenseman who is young, cost controlled, and has upside, and a high-end pick. If something else needs to be added (minor) then sure.

Any interest in a Dumba for Carlo+Moore as a base deal? Just wondering where the value is for that.
