Confirmed with Link: What to do with Trouba? (UPD: 1y/5.5m arb award)

Sorry but that would be stupid, I will gladly pay a first pairing young dmen market value and trade an overpaid third pairing guy in Myers to make cap room.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
I think Myers gets traded in order to sign Trouba to an extension that fits under the cap, maybe Steve Mason too.

Keep Trouba(100% on that), keep Mason(for now), maybe move Myers(if the sales pitch is worth it on the other side) and trade Perreault(because I want Vesalainen to come work into the lineup and Perreaults value isn’t getting any higher by the day).

So we trade Trouba so we can have a draft party? Rather keep him to improve our chances of having a Stanley cup parade at some point in the future. If he is willing to stay in Winnipeg long term, which he appears to be you have to sign a top pairing RHD just entering his prime. I still expect a mid range 4-5 year extension for Jake within 3 days of his Arb hearing later this summer. That will be the compromise.
I'd love to get back into the first road but that will need to come from somewhere else.
Some real wishing moments here:
I'd love to get a guy like Ristolainen or Gostisbehre but I don't know that a swap like that benefits Philly or Buffalo. Would love Ekblad but that's a pipe dream. Maybe Parayko +? I really like his game.
- We're presuming things have changed and Jacob Trouba no longer wants to move to a US market. There is no evidence of this.
- We are suggesting that Tyler Myers will fetch a 1st. Will he?
- We are thinking that the Jets want to move Myers. I really don't think they do, especially considering we are most likely losing Enstrom and potentially Trouba as well.

Sign him to fair market value for as many years as possible. The only reason not to is if he really doesn’t want to play in Winnipeg. I have heard nothing that would make me believe he is unhappy playing for the Jets. He and JoMo can be the top pair D on this team for the next 6 to 8 years eating 20 - 25 minutes a night.

'The quicker the better,' Trouba says about signing new deal with Jets
I see no reason to think he wants out of a contending team where his previously voiced concerns of wanting to play the right side and get important minutes has been addressed. Not to mention his D partner is Josh Morrissey and not Mark Stuart. The only thing left is to agree on money and term, I'm sure Chevy will find a way to make it work. He's done a pretty good job so far.

Seriously? Trade Trouba just to get another 1st rounder? This team is not rebuilding. Of course this changes if he doesn't sign.

Im just happy he wants to stay because Trouba is awesome. We drafted him for this, to be our future. We don't need to go back to the draft table and wait another 6 years to have a RHD. We have our drafted boy now and we are into contending status. Him and JM are going to be such a sweet D pair for a long time. They're still young, their best years are ahead of them yet.
Chevy will get it done.

Even if Trouba doesn't want to re-sign, I'm not sure I like the idea of a 1st round pick as the main piece back unless it is Buffalo calling. And that isn't happening. If anything a pick comes along with a nearly ready high end defenseman or high end center prospect.

The only trades that should possibly be made are ones to get as much value out of Myers and Perreault, assuming Maurice and Chevy are confident guys like Poolman, Vesalainen(/Petan/Lemiuex/Appleton for the Wing) can replace them without loosing a step. In theory it is a good idea but it could hurt our team by blow of lost skill, experience and possibly worst of all chemistry.
Only reasons Chevy would want to trade Trouba are
1) He still wants out behind the scenes. Not saying he does but you never know...
2) We can't sign him to a long term deal to close to what he is actually worth. To me he is a $5.5M guy max based on other contracts.

I think you undervalue Matty P a lot and overvalue his potential replacements.
Maybe next season or two seasons from now Vesalainen ...but Petan & Lemieux will likely never be at Matty’s level ever.
Appleton maybe???
Sign Trouba if he wants to stay...
Keep Trouba, move Myers. Move Perreault next off season and Masons deal expires and we are fine.
We have replacements for Myers, especially on the PP where pretty much half of his production comes from.

Half of Myers production comes on the PP. Where I think any of Trouba, Morrissey or maybe even Niku can do just as well if not better. The other half is about 17 points I believe 5v5. Chiarot had 14 5v5 points in about 25 less games. I think Niku could make up that production pretty easily.
Myers production in an 82 game span is a mirage based on his PP time. We can make up that production the easiest out of anyone on the roster who makes what he does.

Yea at the end of the day we need a top pairing for the next 7 seasons and Trouba and Morrissey are it. As long as both sides can find a balance then Jacob will get signed.
They love playing with each other as well you can tell. Both are young as well being 23 and 22 respectively. They won't hit their prime for awhile yet and as they grow together and learn from each other and learn each others tendencies they will grow into a really solid two-way force of a pairing. Both can play solid D, move the puck and make breakout passes, both can chip in offensively and shut down defensively. They are for the most part our most rounded pairing already and they are just getting started. You lock them both up long term.
There has been a lot of bullshit slung in this drama - it was basically debunked around here that side/ role was the reason that Trouba wanted out of Winnipeg, and that it was a lame cover when in fact he wanted to play in a larger US market.
Hopefully playing with Morrissey on a Stanley Cup contending team has changed his mind but lets not forget there's a lot of politicking going on here.
I want him to stay if he TRULY wants to stay but some Sportsnet article isn't convincing me of that. I guess we will see.
