List the red flags not counting him wanting to get paid as much as he can as a red flag.Im curious how you think it isn't. How many red flags you need with this guy

So arbitrator split the difference, no surprise.
Well I'm not sure how to proceed. Seems clear that he's gone at some point though. The question is when.
I do but i don't want to cheer for a guy who has made it clear he doesnt want to be here. Stop pretending Trouba is the difference between winning and losing
Another "show me" year...
When can he sign an extension by? I'd be surprised if Chevy traded him before the draft, and didn't at least try to extend him before then.
Right in the middle, eh? I find that somewhat amusing.
A small part of me hopes that this is just Trouba wanting to prove that he is worth his asking value and not him just trying to get out asap.
Let the trade rumors recommence!
Time to lock JoMo up long term. We need one corner stone piece locked up long term.
With arbitration can the Jets do a sign and trade or is it a 1 yr deal?

Absotively. Any consideration of a bridge deal needs to be dead now.
This just in: player uses his rights to try and get paid what he feels he worth.
See you all Jan 1st or Jun/Jul 1st.
Sidenote: if your backup plan to not signing Trouba long-term is replacing him with Myers, then I would be more worried about the Jets current talent evaluation.
I think it’s all about maximizing his worth and earnings in what is realistically a short albeit rewarding career financially. I think he is ok staying in Winnipeg but not “long-term” on this contract given through 5 seasons he has yet to be given the full reins as “the guy” on our blueline. I wouldn’t be surprised if Trouba wants 4 years max at 6.5-6.75 per AAV and the Jets are saying no way, we want at least 6 maybe 7 years if we’re investing/paying that amount of money in you. My hunch is Trouba is offering the Jets his 2 remaining RFA years (at 6 per) + 2 UFA years (at 7-7.5 per). I don’t think he wants to sign long-term when the Jets have not yet given him true PP time and opportunity ahead of Buff (and even Myers on the #2 unit). When you add in his strong 5v5 stats and add potential top minute PP time to that, you likely get a pretty productive dman and Trouba surely knows that. That = $$$.
My “guess” is Trouba is open to re-signing here but only for a short amount of time so he can maximize his true worth as a UFA at 28, sign a big UFA deal with a team of his choice, be it here or elsewhere. This allows him to be with this Jets core for their likely “best contending years”, be a big contributing piece and set himself up for a big financial reward for the last big pay day (contract) of his career in a destination of his choice.
At the end of he day he has yet to be “the guy” on our blueline and I don’t think he wants to sign long-term for 6-7 years at a rate that will likely end up being lesser than what his true worth and value will be al while giving up his “best years”. I think he’s betting on himself and his abilities and has full belief if/when he is “the guy” here that he will be worth top dollar and more than the Jets are currently wanting him for and offering. He hasn’t been “the guy” here yet and I’m sure the Jets are looking to take advantage of that if they can get him on a long-term deal.
Scheifele for example is a massive steal on his current contract and I don’t think Trouba is okay with that happening to him when he has yet been given full opportunity to the #1 dman on this team. Maybe he would re-sign here for 6-7 years but if that happens I think he wants to be paid for it, likely in the 7-8 AAV range, and I don’t think the Jets are okay with that amount right now. My bet is the Jets want Trouba ideally long-term for 5.5-6 if they can get that type of contract. Trouba is likely sitting there saying “no way”.
Your red flags are from two years ago.1. Holdout
2. No negotistions at all 2 years ago.. None
3. Its been reported many times he wants out
And others
Ill bet a few of u were convinced Kane didnt wanna go either. Where there is smoke there is fire and this one is definitely out of control.
How much more do u need for u to accept that he doesn't want to be here.. No negotiations last time.. Likely none this time either.
The folly of bridge deals for top-flight talent have been known for some time. It was known back before PK Subban got his two-year bridge out of the Habs.
Hi everyone. Long time reader from back in the jetsowner days... rare poster.... and long time reader of here since day one of the reincarnation... But first time poster here.
Great read and well said.
Just wanna add... and I know I won't shed a good first impression here for suggesting this... But we should have paid the guy... and unless Wheeler took a discount... we could afford to move on from him. We have the depth.. the future leader in Schief.. it would have been the right thing to do for the sake of the team. Wheelers value is at an all time high and he can bring a huge return... I love Wheeler and is my favourite Jet... would be a heartbreaking moment... But a natural one.
