So you're saying we should blame Yoko?
I don't get all the hate for Trouba here. It's not like he played poorly to tank his value.
Which he had every right to do so. I think everything points towards the fact that he played his cards with an open hand for the entire time this was going on.
I expected something like rental value - plus just a little for the chance at signing him. Not up to full value by any means. Unfortunately, I think we got a little less than full rental value. We needed better than Pionk added to the first. We needed a conditional (something, anything) if he signs with them. Even if we had had to add to improve the return, that would have been better.
I don't see any potential for further moves this summer to drag it up to break even, much less a good summer. If there are any further trades, I can't see them going well. All the buzz is that Ehlers is the likely price. I can almost guarantee that return value will be as bad as this one. You don't get good returns selling players after 'off' seasons.
Guaranteed Trouba gave Chevy a tiny list of teams to work with neutering his value.
Trouba counted down the days to get out of here, and everyone knows it. He's the second biggest *****e in jets 2.0 since Kane.
I’m trying to keep faith, trying to be not negative bc that doesn’t change anything other then makes me grumpy......I’m just going to wait to see all the changes we’ve made and compare them to the changes other cap teams were forced to make......then I’ll judge. Far too early things at this point.
Well, if the newest reports are true he said he'd only go to one of two teams to tank his value.
I appreciate that. I'm trying to maintain an even keel also. But I can't do that by hoping for some fantasy moves in the rest of the off-season. My best hope is that Chevy does as little as possible rather than any more harm.
I may need prescription medication if the rumours about Ehlers play out.
On the plus side I now have a reason to watch the draft and have some beer this Friday. Going to have to do some research as I have no idea who would be good value at pick 20.
If true that Trouba wanted to go to 2 teams onlyTrouba doesnt have a NTC. Chevy could've traded him anywhere and he'd just have to deal with it. It's not like the trade came with an extension anyway

Why would the other 29 teams put themselves into the Jets shoes of Trouba wanting out

And did lower his valueno he doesn't have a ntc, but he does have the ability to say to any prospective trade partner that he isn't interested in staying there any longer than he has to. Which is going to lower his value...
Karma would be if Trouba signed long term where he wants and then a year or two down the road he gets traded to the opposite end of the country.
That was within the rules too. If he had been given the trade he asked for at that time, there would have been no holdout.
Or you can forget the blame game, not take it personal, move on, and not let your emotions get the best of you.So you're saying we should blame Yoko?
If Laine and Connor make a big stink by publicly demanding a trade, I think most people would have a big issue with this approach.
Sure, there isn’t a rule to prevent agents/players from doing this, but I hope you can appreciate why fans would be mad about it. It would essentially make small market teams farm clubs if players can bully their way out.
