Injury Report: Trouba - returned from concussion 03/31

[JetsFan815]

I think the Jets have probably banked enough points that they can sputter along without Trouba till the playoffs. My disappointment is that we won't get to see what this Jets team looks like at full strength and firing on all cylinders, one or two key pieces have been hurt at every point this season. We really don't know what this team can do when fully healthy.

Doesn't it aid negotiation because it means management can play hardball. Be like you would be worth 7mill if you were healthy but now we have to take your health and potential injuries into consideration. In addition, it keeps his point total down.

It won't have much impact on what he makes this summer. Trouba is a known commodity, Jets and every team in the NHL knows what he is. The only thing I think it might have an impact on is make Trouba realize how freaky this game is and that how often you are one bad break away from having a career threatening or at the very least career impacting injury and that gambling on 1-2 year deals instead of the security of a long term deal is not a wise move.

I have my doubts that they ever get to arbitration. My best guess is Trouba signs a long term deal with the Jets prior to the hearing.

Injury history is not an allowable stat for the arbitrator

You’ve been very consistent in your prediction of the Jets signing Trouba to a long term deal before arbitration next summer, Aavco.

Hope you’re right.

Perhaps we will find out in the playoffs!

We do get a chance to see what the team will look like without Trouba next season if he is traded? I want him signed but there have been some fans who want Jacob gone so I guess we get a trial run.

Only if you assume Toby is re-signed. Otherwise we just get to see what the right side would look like.

Seeing what the Jets have in Poolman will be interesting and important for future roster decisions.

Yes Toby and also the return for Trouba may be a D man but in the mean time we do get to see a Troubaless D core. This would be a really nice time for our goaltending to stay hot.

I think everything will be fine as long as Trouba returns on or before his bobblehead game on March 20th...

 

[Gm0ney]

Its a good thing he wasn't exposed in the xd like some wanted. I still crack up every time i think back to that.

Good thing Enstrom waived his NMC...

 

[Eyeseeing]

So, was just out for a family birthday dinner at Moxies on Kenaston tonight and Jacob and his parents were there...
He was walking relatively slowly leaving the restaurant (no walking boot) but barely any kind of a noticeable limp; not sure if that helps any of the Mark Recchi types on HFJets determine what the injury is more likely to be

Maybe he did a dine and dash....
The slow walk fooled em all

if you can believe it even then some wanted to protect enstrom over myers.

Interesting. There were reports during the Trouba holdout that his father was prevented from travelling to Canada and that was a reason jacob wanted to play south of the border. I guess that is either no longer the case or was never true.

That was just speculation I think. Trouba had reportedly not wanted to go to a Canadian team and there was a lot of "Well, why could that possibly be?" spitballing...

Possibly but it seemed more than just wild speculation. It is possible that those legal issues that were mentioned have gone away.

I guess the other thing is that I am assuming it was his parents...his Dad is a big man in the mold of Scheif’s Dad.

I believe that's mom and dad sitting beside him at the draft. Look familiar?

 

[Gm0ney]

Wow his dad is a big guy...6'6"? Also did Trouba set a hugging record at the draft?

Yep...that looks like them.

Come on, their boy just got sentenced to 10 years in Winnipeg, with little chance for early release due to good behaviour. Meemaw especially looks like she's going to burst into tears. Don't worry, Jakie. We'll get Kurt working on this. We won't let you rot away in that Siberian gulag.

Trouba seemed pretty happy...not like McDavid after Edmonton won the draft lottery:

Completely unfair, but still funny.

Ohhhh nice

 

[antiqueslivers]

Good post here, and I think the only reason why some people would like to see Trouba "gone", is because he's been unreasonable in what he's asking $$$ and that will throw out the contract equilibrium we enjoy here in Winnipeg, and are able to keep all our above average players like Perrault and many others, and other teams can't do that-"they don't have the cap space". Our contracts have been well managed by Chevy -"bigtime" This is critical in today's NHL if you want to win.

When you have teams like Edmonton and they are into the glue for $ 12 mil to McDavid, and about 8 mil to Draisatle--that's $ 20 mil of your $ 75 mil cap- you then have no room for "upper middle players" Chicago is the same with Toews and Kane, sucking up $ 20 mil, for just 2 players !!!

The NHL today, is not only about aquiring good players, it's about aquiring good players at reasonable contracts, and Chevy has "shined at that". These teams that are in over their heads on 2-3 guys,and this just won't cut it -- "you need a team effort and depth" Edmonton is real good proof of my point here and-same with the Hawks.

I'm all for Trouba staying as he's a great young defenseman, if he's going to be reasonable with his contract demands, and that's likely $ 6.5 ish to maybe $ 7 mil. If he wants to create problems, or his agent does, we can then trade him.

With the way he's being playing lately, and the fact the Jet's are looking at a Stanley Cup team -- I think Trouba will look favorably at signing in around a 5 year contract with the Jet's, and see what happens after. He can then go for top buck after, he showcases his talent on a real contender.

I hope so -- as I noticed he was very dominant in his last couple games out,
and getting stronger every game, and returning to last years form. I just don't believe in keeping trouble makers that can distract a team. I hope Trouba isn't one of them-- he seems to look happy lately, and I hope he resigns at a reasonable amount. Keep peace within the family.

PS- I would not be for keeping him at an unreasonable amount, and causing hard feelings within the club. I'm sure Chevy who's conservative feels the same way. Hope Chevy can work it out !!!
