Rangers, Islanders, Devils Interested In Winnipeg’s Jacob Trouba

June 15, 2019 at 6:01 pm CDT | by Holger Stolzenberg 4 Comments

While there are rumored to be many teams that have expressed interest in Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba, the New York area could be his eventual destination as the New York Rangers, New York Islanders and New Jersey Devils have been the most aggressive teams in pursuit of the young defenseman, according to the New York Post’s Larry Brooks.

Each team could truly use the 25-year-old Trouba, who hasn’t expressed any desire to sign a long-term deal with the Jets, and with him being one year away from unrestricted free agency, the Jets are expected to move the talented blueliner. However, Brooks writes that he’s heard from multiple sources that Winnipeg has not given permission to inquiring clubs to speak with Trouba’s agent, Kurt Overhardt, about a long-term contract, which could run as high as seven years and $7.5MM.

All three teams, however, would have the cap room to make a commitment to Trouba with all three teams having the assets to make a deal happen, although the price is expected to be costly. The Jets are reportedly asking for a first-round pick and two top prospects or two young NHL players, likely signed to low-cost contracts. That is likely to be exactly what they’ll get as Trouba, a 6-foot-3, 202-pound blueliner had a breakout season offensively with a career high 50 points last season, including 42 assists, which was ninth in the league for defensemen.

The Rangers already have the Jets’ first-round pick in next week’s draft (#20 overall), acquired in the Kevin Hayes trade, and could offer a significant package, according to Brooks, including restricted free agent Pavel Buchnevich and a prospect. However, that might not be enough as both the Islanders and Devils have quite a few prospects in their own system. That brings to question whether the Rangers might consider including Lias Andersson as part of their package to acquire Trouba. Would the Islanders consider moving defensie prospect Noah Dobson or would the Devils include Jesper Boqvist or Jesper Bratt in a deal?

    I don’t blame the Jets for wanting a lot for Trouba, but if they expect to get that, they are going have to allow the trading partner the opportunity to try and extend Trouba.

    it could be they want the framework of a deal in place before allowing extension talks. in their situation, he is a prime offer sheet candidate so best to limit his chatting with a team till you have an offer you like put forward.

    Devils don’t have the pieces to land Trouba, Fat chance of him signing long term in New Jersey. His own agent Kurt Overhardt said that Trouba wants to either be near his family in Michigan of his fiancee here in Florida. So New Jersey isn’t happening.
