Trouba could settle with Winnipeg tonight for all we know, but he also might not.
Please stop trying to shut down all Trouba talk. In the past five years, 124 players have applied for arbitration and just five rulings have been made. If a ruling is made on Trouba you can’t keep acting like everything is fine and dandy. We all knows the options at hand.
If Trouba is traded — if — any team getting him (i) must be sure to resign him to not only get a rental, (ii) must be prepare to pay him very close to UFA money to keep him. Right?
Under these conditions nobody is giving up a mega package for Trouba, just like nobody is doing it for Karlsson.
*Then you can argue that Trouba loves Winnipeg and will resign there. Sure he could, we are talking if not.
*Then you can argue that Chevy will keep him and let him walk as a UFA rather than not trading him for anything less than a mega return. Sure he could, we are talking about the scenario if he doesn’t want to lose him for nothing.
You don’t have to like it, but all these threads are turned into such a mess by so many posters seemingly wanting to protect their asset or whatever. Like, what we are talking about is ridiculous, it has zero impact. It’s banter.
For any outsider, Trouba not resigning with Winnipeg and Chevy not wanting to lose him for nothing aren’t absurd scenarios. From my POV, 9/10 situations like this are solved. But we are still discussing all of them, it’s not just Trouba. If I had to bet, I would bet on JT being a Jet in 2021. But he may also not be...
