Injury Report: Trouba - returned from concussion 03/31

[JetsFan815]

One serious injury this season. Add a possible concussion to that.

If I was Trouba I'd be looking for long-term job security this summer and sign a deal with the Jets. It is borderline irresponsible on a personal level for him to sign another short term deal when one bad play could kill his earnings potential by tens of millions of dollars. I hope he gets the right advice from his friends and family. If you are a hockey player and have the option of signing a 6x6 million deal but instead to go for a 2 year 4 million deal that is just plain stupid considering the risks involved in your profession and I am not just saying this because I am a Jets fan and want him to stay. If I had my best friend playing hockey, I'd give him the same advice.

I wonder if Mort still thinks he has the guts to go through arbitration twice? He's also engaged now.

I think it was a flash knockout. Right on the button. Benn is a BIG guy. Doesn't necessarily mean anything and most people recover just fine from a knockout.

Can you please change the title?
Trouba is NOT out for 6-8 weeks.

Some players take the risk of going to the market every year. That doesn't mean it is a good gamble.

I don't think I ever said I thought he would do 2 arb contracts. I said that if he goes through with arb this year it would be a signal that he would probably do it again next year to get to RFA.

I also said several times that I agreed that your 'courthouse steps' scenario was quite likely. What I advocated was that Chevy short- circuit that possibility by making a push to sign him last summer. Then if he won't sign he could have been traded.

I think 815 is right that these injuries must be making him think about that strategy, if he hadn't already.

What is a knockout if it isn't a concussion?

People recover just fine. Boxers get knocked out all the time. In the short term. Eventually they become "punch drunk", which is what they called CTE before modern research.

He may be ok or maybe not. He was really f***ed up and they take these things allot more seriously than they use to. Either way we have more than 3 weeks before the playoffs start so here’s hoping.

This is a very good post from Jet's Fan, and I totally agree. If I was giving Trouba advice, as an agent or his father, my first objective would be to get " financial security for life." Forget about the big bucs $$$ for now. Sign with a Stanley Cup contender, over 4-5 years at around $ 6mil, and you never have to worry about money again. What difference would it make if you got $ 1 or 2 mil extra, by "playing with danger" on short term contracts. You can only drive one Porsche at a time, and eat one steak at a time. A little extra money--really matters not.

I don't know right off the top of my head-- but I'm sure many players have had "career ending" injuries from an unfortunate hit, or accident. In my opinion Trouba should take the money with the Jets, and be happy he has financial security.

Her is young, and has plenty of time in 4-5 years, to chase the big dollars !!!

100% agree. The guy had a neck injury that could have been extremely serious years back, you would think getting the financial security for life would be a high priority after that kind of injury scare

Typical sportsnet. They also said Benn’s penalty (and the goal) at the end of the first were questionable. It literally ruins my night when I see a game is on sportsnet. They are trash.

 

[Channelcat]

Having durable players is critical to the teams success. It's not just Trouba who should be concerned about long term security.

Is that what happened?? Sheesh.

I never run any volume with those SN guys commentating. I have to figure out how to dial in the US feeds on those games.

Yes, I agree. Beyond that, though, as much as I want Jake on this team for 4 or 5 years, I would suggest that durability of the player, as heartless as that sounds, will play into contract negotiations.

Is that the reality or am I just being Machiavellian?

Sportsnet does such a horrible job on broadcasts. I got so mad adjusting the volume last night as they continuously muted the volume during play & then increased it during the play stopages. That and the biased broadcasters just totally ruins every Jet broadcast they do. What a pile of trash indeed.

Hoping for good news on Trouba - with Kuli gone for the season, we can ill afford any more serious defense injuries

Was it the Colour guy?

I know I watched (for some stupid reason) Sportsnet highlights later and I got the impression the guys were laughing about it too. Felt like reaching through the TV and choking the little weasels!

I was more pissed that buff clipped trouba when he was struggling to get off.

Any self respecting concussion rating scale includes loss of consciousness, no matter how brief. His symptoms could be mild and he may recover quickly but in order to be knocked out your brain has to crash against the inside of your skull. He was concussed, we just don't know how severely.

SN is a steaming pile of shit, and that is besmirching piles of shit everywhere.

This is one of the reasons why I always hit mute on my TV when a Jets game is on Sportsnet. Then, I use my laptop to tune into Beyak on TSN1290, and try my best to sync the picture to the TV (thank goodness for being able to rewind live TV ).

 

[nobody important]

SN or TSN, what really gets on my nerves are the guys who just ooze anti-Winnipeg sentiment. I'm looking at you Dave Randorf, Rod Black and Glen Suitor. Now Suitor, I can understand somewhat. The guy was a Rider for life and old rivalries die hard. But what's with the other two? Do their "Hi, you probably recognize me, I'm on TV" pickup lines not work in Winnipeg bars?

Best option!

The update today will likely say

-Trouba has a concussion
- no timetable for return

Jets practice in 15 minutes. It usually lasts an hour. Maurice will update the situation post- practice normally about 15-30 minutes after it finishes.
