Rumor: Coyotes among many teams interested in Jacob Trouba
- Thread starter Keep Sorokin Me Babe
- Start date
No because I ignore any and all things from the media and fanboys in Toronto, it's like the national enquirer of the NHL with a bit of visceral thrown in for good measure.
I remember Jets fans being upset with a discredited story by a Winnipeg reporter about a big ask from Trouba that started a lot of this feeding frenzy about Trouba.

I don't see why he would sign with Arizona either. Like taking 2 steps backwards... unless it is all about money.
Unrelated issue, why does my phone autocorrect Trouba to Troubadour?

What's the point of this post anyways? Is it to garner a negative reaction from people? You added absolutely nothing to the topic of conversation. Your post is the Chris Thorburn of posts - present and tries hard, but ultimately useless.
By the way, it was media from Winnipeg that initially floated the rumour, not Toronto.
exactly. he went out of his way to mention the latest rumor by watters that the people on this thread keep referring to.
Yes. 100% serious.
It's only because you hate the Leafs, you notice it more. McDavid got so much more last year.

Arizona is very similar to Winnipeg. Both have great young talent.

Trouba is a homeowner here in Florida now, He can't afford to sit it out. He has responsibilities now.
Arizona has tons of young talented forwards and an open 1RHD spot to partner with OEL. There isn't a better situation for Trouba in the NHL.

Would trouba be happier playing right side. probably.
Do the winnipeg jets care. No
Does trading trouba make the jets weaker. Yes
Will the jets trade a 22year old rfa to make him happy. No
Does beating this to death make you right. No
Would Trouba be happier playing the right side? The answer is not probably, the answer is yes.
Do the Jets care? They better care, or they will have an unhappy player and one that might refuse to play the left side.
Will they trade Trouba to make him happy? No, I agree with you
Will they trade him because they can't sign him, will get a good return, and he does not want to be there, yes, they might.I have no idea if I am right, time will tell
Dreger came out 3 days ago and said trouba isn't unhappy and not looking to be moved out of winnipeg. The odds of trouba as of 3 days ago not knowing he would be playing left side is less than zero.Would Trouba be happier playing the right side? The answer is not probably, the answer is yes.

But did he say he talked to anybody or was he just giving an opinion. In this case he is saying he talked to people in the negotiations
So what? Why would you tell Dreger anything. This might be window dressing by Trouba's camp, why alienate the fans. Saying I am not unhappy and don't want to leave the Jets, sure, while also saying I won't sign for less than 6 mill+ for 6 or more years with an NTC, and I'm willing to sit out.

Trouba's usage is the key concern here. Not whether or not he likes WPG, which we have no reason to believe he doesn't.
Trouba is obviously aware he will play LD in WPG. And he is obviously aware that Buff is going to get the prime PP usage.
Trouba finishing his development curve at LD instead of RD is bad for his contract after this one. Trouba not getting to put up lots of PP points is bad for his contract after this one.
Trouba's camp is going to want to compensation for that, and that is the obvious spot for an impasse. Trouba won't want a bridge, because he is taking a bridge in a situation that is going to depress his value. And on a long term deal, he is going to want something closer to Ekblad than Hamilton, because his two way upside is closer to Ekblad's than Hamilton's and, playing for WPG isn't going to give Trouba the usage to optimize his next deal. Obviously, a lot on the WPG will change over the next 7-8 years, but Buff being #1RD won't change for a long time.
Now, of course Chevy is not afraid to tell players to pound sand. So now its about blinking. The fact that both parties are being quiet with the media implies, to me, that both sides want to see something signed. The fact that there doesn't seem to be a great hockey deal out there for Trouba, and Chevy's history with Kane, makes me think that its Trouba that will do the blinking... but then you look at Overhardt's history and it all gets very interesting.
In the end, they need to find a middle ground on a deal in value between Hamilton's and Ekblad's and I suspect they will, as at this point Chevy is not in an ideal place to make a deal that is good to WPG. If, for some reason, it does get to the point where Trouba is dealt, it won't be for something that gets the WPG fan base happy.
