Speculation: Trouba [MOD: his next contract]

[Grind]

Our only D man under 27(6?) Probably fits just nicely in our long term plans....just my suspicion.

The good part about this is he is an RFA so our team has leverage. Not like he is a pending UFA......we can pull up a comfy chair and...........wait.

Remember when Bogo wasn't going to do a deal here (summer of 2011)
Remember when Kane wasn't going to do a deal here because he hated it?
I think we might have worried allot with almost every pending FA


In this case we do have a bit more "hand" so I say we grind out a tough deal and have Jacob as part of our core for a run over the next 5 years for a cup.

That is my vote anyways.

For what it's worth, I heard the team plan is long term contract with Trouba.

Well this is good news yeah?

Edit: would we be happy with a matching scheif contract? I think I would be ok with it

That's what I would expect. Has a lot of untapped potential IMO. Saw some things I liked at the end of the year. Looked like he was becoming really tough 1on1. Deflected a lot of shots out of play similar to how Enstrom always has.

 

[Aavco Cup]

6 x $5M

We're going to need it ...

I thought 6.125 mill x 8 was fair for Schiefele. Not sure I feel the same about Trouba.
I'd feel less stressed if it was closer to 5 million x 4 years ave or 5.5 mill ave x 6 years and I feel that is an over payment.
Although I'm sure there are other posters that would agree with paying Trouba the same contract as Schiefele.
I'd feel much more comfortable with 5 x 6 years like Aavco's comment, I actually would say that would be a fair contract.

 

[Larabee]

6 x $5M

We'll need to pay him more than Myers. 5M AAV won't do it. I agree that a Fefe type contract will be required. That would be more than fair value. If he turned that down, then he really doesn't want to be here...

4 yrs is never gonna happen. It buys zero UFA years. Chevy would never do that. It's 2 or 6.

Then I'll take 6 years at 5 mill to 5.5 mill if I actually had a choice. At that contract he still might be tradeable if there was an issue a couple years down the road.
At 2 years I wouldn't want to pay any more than 3.5

 

[Grind]

I hope he gets 8. Moar UFA years ! ALL THE UFA YEARS!!!!!!

 

[surixon]

I think it will fall between $4.75 and $5.25 over 6 years imo. I think Trouba's agent will shoot for the Jones contract but I can't see Chevy going that high.

 

[10Ducky10]

8 x 5.625m per year.

i am stupider for having listened to that drivel

Yup, do the media even watch Jets games. He played a good chunk as a LD on the top pair you would think they would take that into account.

I'm getting quite sick and tired of the media and their lack of homework.

 

[SoupaTroupa]

That's how negotiation works. You start high. If his agent didn't do that he should be fired. I hardly means he is going to get it.

These rumours of him demanding $7 million are out of control.


Edited to add: Just noticed the OP is from a few months ago. But Still! This drives me nuts.

I don't think he should get quite as much as Schiefele. I agree with something around 5.5x6,

 

[CorgisPer60]

As much as I would like 8 years, I would also be ok with 6. That gives us a very good window in which to win a cup, and who knows? Maybe Trouba grows to like the market enough where he doesn't really care about where he plays. I can see his agent pushing for 6 years instead of 8, or if 8, have it be a bit of a higher AAV to compensate for 2 prime UFA years being bought up.

 

[JetsHomer]

5 years 5.25m. Same as the e Kane contract

 

[Gabe Kupari]

I find it a bit interesting that when Laine was drafted and when Scheifs signed his new deal... Jets who somewhat regularly use twitter like Scheif Ehlers etc congratulated both. Trouba did not and has been kind of quiet on social media. Odd. I get he's in negotiations but... at the same time I'm not sure he's legit proven his worth yet. I'd go 6 x 5 or 7 x 5.5. If he wants more than that I think I'd probably look to move him. Arizona is said to have interest.
Maybe Trouba and Stafford for Strome and maybe Stone or something like that

 

[Gabe Kupari]

Wheeler Ehlers that is

Is trouba ever on his Twitter?

Troubas average time between posts is 35 days. I wouldn't read into the lack of congrats

Agreed.
Reading into things like that just discourages players from having any social media presence.

Trouba has only 5 tweets and 2 retweets in all of 2016. That's hardly "active"
