Our only D man under 27(6?) Probably fits just nicely in our long term plans....just my suspicion.
For what it's worth, I heard the team plan is long term contract with Trouba.

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.
Well this is good news yeah?
Edit: would we be happy with a matching scheif contract? I think I would be ok with it
6 x $5M
I thought 6.125 mill x 8 was fair for Schiefele. Not sure I feel the same about Trouba.
I'd feel much more comfortable if it was closer to 5 million x 4 years ave or 5.5 mill ave x 6 years. Anything more might be an over payment.
Although I'm sure there are other posters that would agree with paying Trouba the same contract as Schiefele.
4 yrs is never gonna happen. It buys zero UFA years. Chevy would never do that. It's 2 or 6.
i am stupider for having listened to that drivel
Is trouba ever on his Twitter?
Troubas average time between posts is 35 days. I wouldn't read into the lack of congrats
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
