Predict the Trouba Contract

[Mortimer Snerd]

Lots of risk involved there for a guy with a few concussions already.

Even the difference between 1 & 2 year arb contracts is significant in terms of risk.

 

[Mortimer Snerd]

It sounds like the arb hearing starts at 9:00 AM EST. 8 mins to go.

Ouch! An hour ago. Of course, something may have been done already and not announced.

I read on twitter that the hearing could take as long as four hours.

I read on twitter that the hearing could take as long as four hours.

That makes sense. Each party gets 90 minutes for their initial arguments, plus more time for rebuttals.

 

[Tommigun]

I think the award will be 5.2M or 5.3M.

 

[10Ducky10]

I think he signs first.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

I think he signs first.

Well, he's got about 15 hours to do it. I wouldn't hold my breath.

 

[Tommigun]

I think he signs first.

Only if there’s a trade lined up that he agrees to. Slim chance for even that.

 

[1stDan]

He thinks he's worth 7 million plus per season for example. When his comparables make less.

I would compare him to Cam Fowler in both ability and impact. He makes 4 mil.

 

[Tommigun]

When exactly will we know the result? Will it be a public announcement?

 

[Jets4Life]

One year, $5.5 million.

Jets trade him in the 2019 off season.

 

[Jets4Life]

I heard it is supposed to be within 48 hours. Considering the hearing took until 2:30 Friday, I would assume an arbitrator has until 2:30 tomorrow to make his decision.

Thanks. Do you know if it will be publicly announced at that time, or do we still have to wait?

So about 500k less on 1 year deal then a dmen who signed a 5 year contract and scored 5x the goals then he did and put up almost twice the points last year . He should be happy with 4.5

You can't cherry pick contracts. You have to compare what Trouba wants to market value, meaning several (dozens) of D-men who have similar stats, and have signed since 2016. You cannot base what Trouba is worth on one player's contract. If the Jets wanted him long-term, they would have to compensate him for the bridge contract he signed in 2016.

I would assume it would be announced shorty after the decision, but I can't be too sure.

Decision day.

What's everyone having for breakfast this morning.

Asked the better half if she could makes Eggs Benedict Arnold if it wasn't too much Trouba!

 

[jetdiehard]

Do the Jets need Trouba or is he too much Trouba?
Lol

Too much Trouba! The figures being thrown around are all too high. I don't see Trouba as a top 30 D, maybe top 50......maybe.

Tired Troubling Over Trouba, Totally Time To Trade The Traitorous Tribulate!

That took quite a few minutes to do is there a decision yet?

 

[10Ducky10]

Fowler is making six and a half million a year for the next eight years.

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Fowler is making six and a half million a year for the next eight years.

He also wants to be in Anaheim. Trouba dont wanna be here. Trouba been blowing smoke up our asses.

I've thought that Trouba wants to play elsewhere for some time. I think at least some of it is related to his partner, whose career basically forces her to be in the US for training and subsequent work (since she is training in osteopathy, which is not a recognized medical specialty in Canada).

I expect that Chevy has a pretty clear understanding if Trouba doesn't want to be in Winnipeg long term, and will try to maximize the asset in the short term and long term. It's quite possible he'll want to keep Trouba for another season to make a run before trading him, or if he can get a suitable trade that helps short and long term pull the trigger on a trade this summer. Both parties are using the CBA to try to get what they want.
