Description
I just don’t get how a team so desperately in need of a right handed talent on the blue lime just watched one get traded for a such a small amount and didn’t beat the offer... just seems ridiculous to me that 6 defensemen have been moved in the last few days and the leafs who want to contend have don’t nothing, they have the assets to do it so DO IT!!

I am making 0 guesses to what it costs to dump these guys cause it actually sounds like they might get something for Zaitsev and with what’s left on the market I don’t doubt it, But anyways trade whatever future picks it costs to fully dump these contracts

They didn't get him because he didn't want to sign with a canadian team.

Because he was not willing to sign a long term deal with a Canadian based team. That’s why.

There's a story out there that Trouba's camp threatened that he'd demand a trade or holdout if he was dealt anywhere but the Rangers and it sounds like there were plenty of teams interested and some offered better deals then the Pionk/1st package the Jets got but Chevy's hand was forced a bit. If I'm understanding it correctly it appears Chevy had better offers given to him but he didn't want to screw over any of his fellow GM's so he traded Trouba to where he wanted to go and I guess that was the best the Rangers would offer cause they knew that's where he wanted to go so they knew they didn't have to give up much. Don't know if that makes any sense but that's how I'm interpreting the stories I've read about it, Pittsburgh was one of the teams that pushed for him and I read about this in insidepittsburghsports.com.

Do you know about Trouba's personal issues with Canada? My guess is no.
Trouba will not sign any extension and definitely not with a Canadian team. As of right now he has not signed one with NYR and I'm going to assume he hits UFA status and picks his destination.

Winnipeg GM had very little bargaining power to even get fair value nevermind trying to win a trade.

Not an excuse.
If you Google about Trouba, you will find a couple reasons why he wants to be in the US.
I can't blame him...still disappointed if I were a Jets fan.

I mean he wanted outta WPG and said it’s so his GF can practice medicine but I doubt he really gonna exile a whole country, if he didn’t wanna sign long term idc, I’d give more than Point and #20 for 1 year then he can pick his destination

It's not just that but you know what? It doesn't matter.
He's close with his family and would not be able to spend time with them as long as he's in Canada.

Maybe that's not a big deal to you but for others it is and Trouba happens to be one of those.

Well if he specifically said No where but New York like Missthewhalers said then yeah that makes sense To some extent but actually kinda makes him a dick demanding where he wants to go isn’t how the NHL works for RFAs, but if he just said Outta Canada that doesn’t make sense

I saw a report today that was talking about Trouba's fiance being the reason he requested for a trade out of Canada. I don't recall what it said specifically, but something about her career being unable to be pursued in Canada, and he talked about how her success is just as important as his own.

Trouba's fiancee is Australian and rumor had it that she wasn't aloud to be a doctor in Canada. Because she was a foreigner. Not sure of the validity of it. But it was out there.

Trouba to the Leafs was never going to happen, As he doesn't want to play in Canada period. And he grew up hating the Leafs as a Wings fan.

Sounds like Marner wants more then 11 million (per Kypreos) as a leaf fan I am more and more willing to take the 4 first round picks as compensation at this point.... but what team is willing to spend that kind of money and futures?

There is no way 11 doesn’t get it done, ask might be 12+ but if he had 11 in front of him no way he turns away
