A bridge does not make him any more likely to be traded than a long term deal. Many players have signed bridge deals and stayed and many have signed long term and been traded.

Agreed. I like the idea of getting Trouba locked up for 6+ years right now, but Trouba signing a bridge doesn't mean anything one way or the other in regards to the possibility of being re-signed after IMO.

The problem as I see it is that Trouba will IMO break out in a big way when he no longer has to play with Stu on a regular basis. If its a two year bridge (the most likely as I see it), we would need to extend him at the same time as Little, Ehlers, Morrissey, Petan, etc & still leave enough room for upcoming big signings like Laine & Connor.
Unless he dumps Overhardt, I really can't see their ask being any less than 8 m/yr which will be an awful big amount to fit into the overall Jets salary structure going forward.
That's all I'm saying -- seems like it should be a lot easier to work out a 6 year deal now than it will in two years time.
If Trouba is asking for an unreasonable amount of money or something else unreasonable, then how is this Chevy's fault? I think history shows us that he is always fair, but some players don't want 'fair' they want 'more'.
I don't want us to pay more than reasonable for any player. If they want an unreasonable amount, then trade them.

Same. And I see a lot of stupid trade proposals in the trade boards (the good proposals are rare) where people put a lot of baiting posts to start **** over Trouba. But I do think a lot of people on these boards have too high of an expectation for what will come back if Trouba is traded.
I wouldn't use the Hall/Larsson argument if you're expecting an LD coming back. Someone in one of the threads suggested Jake Muzzin straight up for Trouba. That's probably one of the best deals we could (if Muzzin was 3-4 years younger it would be perfect but then we likely wouldn't sniff that deal) get. The common Leafs proposal of Gardiner+ is also another likely trade I'd expect to see.
As of right now, all the power is in Chevy's hands though. I can see his conundrum... sign Trouba to a bridge deal and that's good for right now but in a couple years he can get OS'd. Although, perhaps a team offers $7-9 mil per year and we can get quite a few 1sts
but signing Trouba to a long team deal right now isn't optional because there are still some uncertainties with him as a player plus if he wants to leave, he's that much closer to UFA and walking for nothing.

I'm not too sure that this made much sense. Trouba could receive an offer-sheet any time now, as he is a free agent. Signing Trouba to a long term deal is 5+ years (imo) and would be buying UFA years.
Chevy will go 2 years or 5+ years. 3 years, and he only has 1 season until UFA. 4 years and he IS a UFA at the end of his contract. If I was Chevy, I would only sign a 2 year or 6+ year deal. No *** around with mid term and being put in a poor negotiation spot.

I know he supposedly wants to stay in Brooklyn now, but I wonder if there is still any chance of a Travis Hamonic deal.

I don't believe he can because he's still coming off his entry deal. I think if he gets a bridge contract and is RFA again, he can be offer sheeted but he can't right now.
I was under the impression that as a free agent, he was able to sign an offer sheet. They are about as rare as they come, though.

Hm, my bad on that. Must have just assumed no offer sheets because of no arbitration. I think that's what I meshed them together into
Okay so even if he gets offer sheeted. It's low enough where we keep him or high enough where we take the 1sts and run

At this point I am pretty relaxed as far as this goes given the givens.
Risto, Hampus, Johnny Hockey, and Jake are all going to be in the World cup of Hockey which runs from Sept 17th to October 1st so depending on how their teams do they wouldn't even be missing their teams camp until late September. In the Jets case our Training camp starts September 20th and our first regular season game is not until October 13th. If both sides are looking for deadlines to drive the deals then we best sit back and relax and enjoy the world cup and things should heat up around October IMO.

Do you guys realize there were seven separate trade threads involving Trouba in the OP on the main boards. I just hit ignore on all seven threads and feel liberated
Another one will pop up by the next time you check. It is almost to the point the Mods need to create a mega Trouba thread. I want a fair long term deal so badly. This would be a great day for it to happen. For child care reasons I'm working from home today so I'm much better positioned to keep track of anything exciting happening. Most work days I come pretty late to the party if there is breaking news.

Honestly, this is what happens every time I venture into the trade boards:
1) See JETS in the title and try resist the urge to look
2) Look
3) Post something
4) "**** now I have to wait for replies"
5) "I'M NEVER GOING IN THERE AGAIN"
6) Few weeks later, rinse and repeat

I hope he either signs a really fair long term deal or is traded for a mega haul so I can quote a post by rt and laugh.

Wishful thinking, but the main board would collapse for the second time this summer.
