Sounds fun

We need big to talk about

 

[KrisLetAngry]

I understand why they are apart.

 

[Thorburnt]

Welp. Hopefully Trouba's agent can convince Chevy he deserves time on the top pairing while Chevy convinces him to play on the left. I want Trouba - Buff

 

[Rebuilt]

Doughty worked it out. Jets will work it out with Trouba as well.

 

[jw2]

Shocker!!

 

[tucker3434]

I will give you a 2nd and a b prospect. You are welcome for my generous offer.

 

[Gotaf7]

LMAO!! Lawless covering all the bases.

 

[izzy]

How exciting

 

[JetsHomer]

Lawless doesn't know anything

 

[Hennessy]

There's an Oiler blogger or two that is salivating still.

 

[Thorburnt]

I don't know about Lawless. Recently he's moved away from baseless accusations and stupidity, but yeah I still don't really trust him all too much.

I don't doubt they'll figure it out but Doughty wasn't one of three high-end RHD on the roster.

I really wish we knew troubas demands... if he's asking more than the recently signed Barrie and jones, he is out of his mind... basically imo if jets are offering less than 5, they are crazy.... if Trouba is asking over 5.5, he's crazy.... settle at 5.25!!

I really wouldn't doubt if he's trying to demand 6 ish... dream on Trouba

He'll he shouldn't even be getting more than riellys 5 per year, but that was a steal

 

[BruinDust]

Jets fans who don't believe this are in denial.

Is the contents of this tweet really all that surprising?

Doesn't mean he isn't getting signed. But this had all the makings of a tough negotiation going all the way back to last season.

 

[tigervixxxen]

Where's all the they don't appreciate their special young player talk?

These guys usually do sign but it's probably time for a big name to hold out too.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

If Winnipeg can't sign him to terms that they are comfortable with the Oilers should be on the horn to Chevy.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Trouba to the Leafs? Leafs have a spot for him on the right side on the top pairing with Morgan Rielly. They also have the assets to acquire him and the money to sign him.

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

I wanna see Chayka continue this unreal offseason of his and get something done with Trouba

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

What do fans honestly feel is a fair contract?.. I would love to hear... I am saying no more than 5.25 over 5 - 6 years

And 5.25 is the very highest I'd go

You do have assets that Jets need? Does that asset name start with Morgan by any chance?

 

[NHL Dude 120]

Someone offer sheet him already for 7 7.5 mill would make free agency more interesting

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Haha true... pretty much the only thing Jets would need from Leafs is Morgan rielly... so this won't happen

And the Jets have a hole on the top line left wing for Joffrey Lupul, it's a match made in heaven.

Not really.

He's likely asking for the moon and doesn't exactly fit our needs or salary structure.

Acquiring him would probably hurt the team more than help it this year.
