Speculation: Trouba Contract Discussion Part II

[SensibleGuy]

Don't blame him, just wants to pay a significant role and in a position to succeed (RHD). Wish him good luck in his new team. See how bad this hurts us now.

lol whatever

 

[Koonta]

There goes our only proven top 4 defenseman under 25. Another quality for quantity deal coming up.

All part of the process, right?

If the dude doesn't want to be here he doesn't want to be here and no process can correct that, it sucks but it is what it is.

 

[AWSAA]

So, safe to say we shouldv'e drafted Forsberg now?

 

[Weezeric]

I could actually see a big trade with the ducks. They're in a bit of a pickle capwise and need young forward talent

 

[Hunter368]

It was more than position and role. You can trust me on that.

There will be a lineup of teams interested. Chevy will get good value. I think he's looking for more than just fair value and might want to use this as a way to reshape and rebalance the roster and talent pool.

Your speculating only, sorry means nothing.

 

[Daximus]

I'd want more, but Sanheim is a great start. Provorov plus something else, Morin perhaps

Highly doubt we get Provorov. Sanheim is our best bet. We'd need to take back some hefty salary though.

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

Don't forget Kane and the crappy return the Jets got for him.

Good point

 

[SensibleGuy]

Your speculating only, sorry means nothing.

and you aren't right? lol

 

[Canucks LB]

Take this to the trade board please.

Did just that, sorry

 

[Aavco Cup]

What's the rule for an rfa playing in Europe ? Is there any difference to the jets if he plays there or sits out?

He can sign with anyone outside the NHL. He's a free agent. The Jets retain his rights.

If he misses the NHL season. It delays his UFA by one year. It would be costly in many ways.

 

[Whileee]

I trust you, but why hint? What was this "more?"

Just information I had received from people who would know, indicated that Trouba wanted to play somewhere else.

 

[Skiffer55]

Sure, for Stafford.

Haha nice. Yeah, not trading Trouba for Edler. Too old.

Right about now in NHL 16 I'd swap him to Anaheim with our first for Lindholm and pay him whatever he wants.

 

[puck stoppa]

Larson nets hall. What does trouba get? Especially if you add one of petan Lowry copp deleo armia Dano roslovic etc.

 

[Hunter368]

and you aren't right? lol

I'm basing my comments on statements, not pure speculation.

[mod]Instead of being played bottom pairing or in position that puts him at disadvantage for his next contract (big UFA contract). Good move from Trouba POV to demand trade otherwise hurts his future. Sitting out not so good move

 

[AWSAA]

Don't forget Kane and the crappy return the Jets got for him.

We traded two young top 5 picks for ZERO core players. Look at the return Adam Larsson fetched. We could've got a lot more for Bogosian had Chevy played that one right. Kane would have returned a top 5 pick after after scoring 30.

Oilers overpaid b/c desperate GM and team. Not so sure Chevy gets so lucky

 

[Gump Hasek]

Agreed, big lose. GM job is to get players signed, put them in situations to succeed. Blew this one big time, no excuses. Now see if he can do good damage control. Just lost our 2nd best dmen

A GM's job is to not have his roster decisions shaped or dictated by an external force such as the agent of a player that is an RFA. The Jets know more about this player than do those of us posting on message-boards. Perhaps this is as much a case of the Jets moving on from the player as it as it is about Trouba moving on from the Jets?

 

[R3DDRAG0N]

Yes, I don't care what has "officially" been stated, the City/lifestyle are a Major factor, top pairing, Right side is a smoke screen.

 

[surixon]

I am really starting to wonder if Overhardt has one move. If a GM doesn't bite on his contract ask he pulls the hold out card. If I'm Chevy I weight as long as it takes to get the deal he's looking for.

This really could cost Trouba a lot of cash. Chevy may be inclined to wait until December in order to force Trouba to ink a deal.

Well Josh here is your chance. Take the ball and run with it!

A lot of butt hurt jets fans just blaming Trouba for just wanting to play his position what's so bad about that? Instead of being played bottom pairing or in position that puts him at disadvantage for his next contract (big UFA contract). Good move from Trouba POV to demand trade otherwise hurts his future. Sitting out not so good move

what statements? The statements his agent made? LOL...come on! For all you know trouba wanted 8 mil a year for 5 years to stay. Should Chevy have done that? A lot of butt hurt Trouba fans blaming Chevy for blowing it when they have no real idea what was going on behind the scenes...

 

[Whileee]

Your speculating only, sorry means nothing.

I'm not speculating about Trouba wanting to play elsewhere. My post history will reveal a pattern indicating my information, including proposals to trade him.

I am speculating about Chevy making a bigger move than just Trouba, based on the stack of forwards and the need for depth on defense.

Only upset cause his mom is running negotiations. Not Jacob.

 

[wpgsilver]

We traded two young top 5 picks for 0 core players. Bogosian could've fetched an Adam Larson like return had Chevy played that one right. Kane should have returned another top 5 pick.

I don't really care what their draft position was. It becomes irrelevant once we see them as NHL player.
As for whether we could have gotten an Adam Larson deal for Bogo I don't know. Maybe, but its hard to say that with certainty.

Then they should of traded him before now. Trading him now doesn't help increase his return

Bang on times two. You nailed it. My posts will get deleted, you said what I'm thinking.
