Kind of a sad situation for the Jets. Trouba is such a fine player but becomes a victim of the depth game. Too bad this didn't happen when Hamonic wanted out, the 2 guys are of relative age and skill. Then again this ain't fantasy yeh ?
Whatever Chevy can drum up for him. Should be teams lining up to trade a LD +

Consider Sim Hockey because guys who play shutdown minutes, deflect shots and clear creases build championships. Yet in fantasy they litter the unwanted UFA lists.

Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
Anyone think Morrissey will step up in a major way, with this Trouba business going on? This is a massive opportunity for him, and it could mark the start of his NHL career. I'm hopeful.

Morrissey has an opportunity to step up, a season or two ahead of schedule.

Yes an NBA established pattern of "sign and trade".
Timing is everything, especially in a trade market limited by cap concerns, talent, upside and which position the guys plays.
For the record I think the Islanders would have to clear space to sign and pay Trouba what he wants. With Hamonic and Boychuck as the RH defensemen on the club perhaps Trouba would be in a similar situation to that in Manitoba so that deal does not work out as far as he and his agent are concerned. Then again Boychuk is 33 years old with a huge cap hit until the 21-22 season so maybe a buyout is on the horizon at some point...

Kyle Connor is looking good in camp. The way Maurice reacted to the question about a top 6 spot or bust (AHL) for Connor, he certainly seemed to prefer to keep him on the team, even if it wasn't in the top 6. He has some good hands... Here's hoping!

Top six is almost becoming a thing of the past for a lot of teams. Most are looking for top nine and a solid checking line for their 4th now. Even if he plays on the 3rd line to start, he could still have a decent year especially if he keeps clicking with Perreault.

"Cleavage is like the sun. You can look, but dont stare.. Unless you're wearing sunglasses."
Yeah I agree. It's a copycat league too and that's pretty well what the Pens rolled with down the stretch and up to the Cup. Three lines that can score, with one of them being more of a shut-down style and one line of checkers... Here's hoping!

Connor looks fantastic. I think he'll stick with the team, and I believe he'll get his share of time on one of the PP units. His shot is excellent (so's his speed, for that matter), and he's lethal from under the circle on the right side.
Laine looks like he'll need some time to find and adjust his game to the NA style of hockey. I don't expect a fast start for him.

From Gary Lawless:
"Pavelec not playing for #nhljets tonight. IMO - something is afoot. Could be a trade, could be waivers. Played one game in 6 months. Curious"
