That was ugly. He would have seemingly had more value at the trade deadline next spring rather than what they got for him here.
In retrospect, I would have killed for something like Damon Severson from the Devils, straight up.
It seems odd that teams weren’t given permission to try and negotiate a deal with Trouba and his agent. My guess is that the money they want is so out to lunch it would have only hurt his value. I’m guessing they see him as an $8.5 - $9 million guy.
Personally, I think he’s vastly overrated and I don’t mind seeing him go. At the same time, I was hoping for a significantly better return.
