^ Thread's a gem.
My favorite:
"We have a budding superstar in our mix in Jacob Trouba. Yesterday, Mr Trouba sent out a tweet congratulating Stuart on the contract, and expressing his happiness that he will be a Jet for the next 4 years.
We are going to want to lock Trouba up for the majority of his career. Yesterday, our management sent a message to Jacob, that this organization recognizes hard work, dedication and professionalism. Chevy offered a fair to over fair contract to a leader that Jacob looks up to.
This type of signing has value not only in the player it was linked to, but the message it sends to the dressing room, and the culture that it breeds.
Play hard, work hard, and we will make you part of this team and family. Trouba saw that yesterday. And even though money will talk when it comes contract time, yesterday Jacob has a more positive view of this team's management than he had the previous day.
You let Stuart walk, Jacob says nothing.
His perception of this team though, that may be pushed south and come contract time, Jacob may not have any feelings of loyalty to this franchise that warrants signing here long term."

I have no problem with Trouba asking for a trade because he wants to play on the right side.
This is no different than if the Jets went to Buff and told Buff you were going to make him play forward next season....Buff would ask for a trade 1 second after you told him.
The player only has one chance at a career and they want to play where they are comfortable.
The only concern we should now have is what we get in return.

I'm with Whileee.
Trouba likely gets packaged up with others in a move to further shift team culture here. Hopefully a trade is worked with teams like Tampa or Anaheim for example, teams with more NHL players at current than either their roster-size or budgets can handle, respectively.
Trouba can still be creatively moved for more than just simply prospects. The Jets aren't looking to take a step back now.

I accidentally posted this in trade rumours but.....
This has nothing to do with the right side. It was rumoured weeks ago that he AND his parents wanted him to play for a team in the USA.

Personally I think Trouba checked out after his first season. I never thought of him as a high character guy like Scheifele or Wheeler. Maybe he'd be happier playing with his old buddies like Bogo or Kane.
I'm not really upset about him leaving as I was never sure he'd progress much further. Not from lack of talent though.
If Chevy gets a decent return it might be good for us in the long term.
Not a cool move by Trouba and his team.

Only thing he has going is at some point Wpg needs to be competitive. Starting Enstrom Morrisey Stuart down the left side is small and not good. There is pressure on Chevy as well
From my perspective this is what I've always wanted. I'm not a Trouba fan and think he's overrated. I'll be glad when he's traded.
Are there any teams who might be looking to trade a young LHD?

It would be a nice return, not all convinced that Hexy would deal for Trouba depending on his $$. Hexy could have a very expensive D soon and Trouba may not fit
Yes, from a PR perspective.
Am I the only one who thought that the Jets might run into this issue from time to time (core player decides he wants to play elsewhere)? I think Chevy and Chipman know it, and it affects a lot of the strategy and decisions they make. I indicated that in many ways Laine might be a better fit for the Jets, because he might be more likely to see a long term home in Winnipeg than Matthews. This is a reality of Winnipeg, not just in pro hockey. Successful organizations need to have strategies for attracting and retaining the right talent, and making adjustments along the way.
If true what kind of 22 year old lets their parents dictate where they play? When I was 18 I was out that door so fast. Maybe he wants to go play for the Wings so his mommy can cook and clean for him.

I feel like this quote gets pulled out every month or three.
Track Suit Shower-Gate. this is chevy's real test.
Drafting Laine or Pulljarvi. this is chevy's real test.
Ladd & Buff contracts. this is chevy's real test.
Trouba negotiations. No THIS is chevy's real test.
