Just stop making tons of other stupid trades and signings.

Right. But is Trouba much better than Larsson and Klefbom? I think he is a similar level. You're paying Klefbom and Larson 4 million and change. Trouba wants $6 mill plus. I'm not giving up cost controlled Nurse for an expensive Trouba. It would likely be Nurse + a 1st would be the ask.
