The Trouba trade isn't a good deal for Winnipeg nor does it make practical sense. They have their goalie of the present and future in Hellebuyck so I highly doubt they would want a prospect goalie coming back. If you're going to package a player with a 1st round pick for Trouba it would have to be someone with higher upside. Hagg is a one dimensional player and his hits and blocked shots stats are moot. Fletcher would have to consider moving a player like Myers with the 1st to land Trouba's RFA rights.
Possibly, but that's a lot to give up for rights, a high 1st rounder, a solid/cheap 3rd pairing defender and Sandstrom might not be the piece, (maybe forward Strome) but hes a very good prospect, but Myers instead of Hagg is a large price to pay, especially since WPG will have to move salaries.
I think a 1st, capable Hagg, a 4th and a good prospect like Strome is quite a good deal for "rights".
For me Trouba is a expensive ticket, that quite a few clubs couldn’t fit in salarywise.
The offer I put together: is a 1st (13th overall I think), and Hagg is worth a low 2nd IMO, and Strome or Sandstrom in trade would definitely catch a low 1st rounder or early 2nd, (and are closer to the pros), so really I see Trouba’s rights in this deal as:
Trouba’s rights for two 1sts, a 2nd and a 4th, that’s a pretty fair deal
