Detroit counters with Winnipeg keep Perreault and Kulikov and give Detroit all but the 2020 2nd rd pick?

As much as I'd like to see Trouba in a wings jersey, I'm not convinced I could stomach that payment.

We currently have several Perreault's and Kulikov just log jams the defence on the wings even further.

Essentially giving up two seconds, a 3rd, Bowey and Green . . . . Green I can call a write off for Kulikov. Believe it or not I'm actually high on where Bowey's game could go. His analytics are solid and he passed the eye test the last 15 games or so with the wings getting regular time this past season.

So for me it comes down to would I do Bowey, two 2nd's, a third and a 6th for Trouba for a year and the opportunity to bid for his services. I wouldn't. At best I would do Bowey a 2nd and a prospect within the system.

As much as I want Trouba to come home, the wings are not in win now mode and can wait to get him as a UFA without losing high picks. Also the wings don’t want or need Perresult or kulikov, they need elite talent not more depth players. If you are trying to unload cap, then sweeten the deal.

Mike Green has a full no trade clause until Feb 1, 2020 so he can veto the trade.
