According to Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet, if the Winnipeg Jets were to trade Trouba to the Bruins, they would need quite the hefty return. The big return for Trouba would be 24-year-old centerman Ryan Spooner, defenseman prospect Brandon Carlo, and 1st round pick. I’m not 100% sure if the Bruins would accept this, but for the Jets does this make sense?
Obviously the Jets are stacked with talented centermen right now, and that position is the least of their worries. Although Ryan Spooner would make a very nice addition, do the Jets really need another center? If the Jets really wanted to take Spooner off the Bruins hands, they would most likely be moving another center such as Alex Burmistrov, or Andrew Copp.
