I don't see this as good or bad, simply, this is the process commonly used.

Both team and player would rather reach an agreement than have one forced upon them, so it's not surprising the lack of cases that make it to fruition.
Trouba is obviously the most troubling of the bunch. His hold out last time implies there may be some issues with signing herevlong term. Take two arbitration settlements then he's a UFA.
If Trouba really doesn't want to be here, if I'm the Jets I elect a 2 year award taking him to UFA. You know it's going there anyway with 2 - 1 year awards but this season you could hammer him in the hearing about his durability saying he's never played a full 82 games and in 4 of his 5 NHL seasons he's missed at least 20% of the games. (granted 2 years ago was due to a holdout).
You might be able to get a value contract for 2 years and potentially increase his trade value for after next season when you trade him. The new team can sign an extension July 1st, 2019 and it would be the same as trading him with one year of arbitration left, except you'd have already done the acquiring team a favour by locking in a lower than market salary. Maybe he only gets 2 by $4 or something like that instead of $6+ on a long term deal.
Hopefully he signs long term and none of this matters. I'm glad he elected arbitration so at least we'll find out what his true intentions are by the start of next season. No hold out, no offer sheet, etc. He'll either be locked up long term as a cornerstone of the team or he'll be on his way out of town and we can start looking at RHD prospects.

Thanks to all of you.Agree. I think that if Trouba doesn't sign long term before arbitration, it's only a matter of time before he's traded.
Jets aren't even in the conversation for Karlsson. He wouldn't sign here long term, anyway.I really want us to trade Trouba+ for Erik Karlsson if there can't be anything worked out with the Jets are Karlsson is still available.
Hellebuyck to a $6M AAV for 6 years.
Lowry could get a lot from another team, and the Jets shouldn't match depending on how much money is being put on the table or what the possible outcome of it would be.
I think we could get Tanev at a good price.
Dano would be interesting, I can't blame him if he leaves.
Could/would we likely give Armia an offer sheet?
A 1 year award leaves the acquiring team in a better position to sign him long term. there is no existing contract in the way. If he isn't traded until Nov, he can still be extended immediately without waiting till July 1.
A 1 year award gives him the minimum of security in the event of a career altering injury. Why guarantee him another year's income if you don't have to?
Speaking of Ondrej Pavelec, the jets could use a veteran backup...

Lowry can't receive an offer sheet from another team because he's files for arbitration.
Because he has a 3 team trade list and we ain't 1 of themI'm not sure why people think Karlsson wouldn't sign here long term
Players on 1 year contracts can only be extended following Jan 1.
First I've heard that - do you have a source?Because he has a 3 team trade list and we ain't 1 of them

I read somewhere he didn't even want to extend in Dallas or Vegas, that TB was only place he'd extend. Can't remember if that was here or on main board.First I've heard that - do you have a source?

Talking about Tavares is silly.
Why is everyone suggesting we trade Trouba for EK? We’ll have traded away our top pairing RHD for 1 year of EK, who will probably head into free agency the following year and get the money he wants elsewhere that we cant give him in the first place, especially since we’ll have to sign Laine and Connor next year. Its a terrible idea.
