I keep hearing this, what has he done other than take on contracts for prospects? Every GM can do that
Rumor: Coyotes among many teams interested in Jacob Trouba

Tucker Poolman will fill a spot on RD in a year or two and Morrissey will fill one on the left side even earlier. As already stated, Poolman doesn't need to fill a top spot but rather would just need to play behind Buff and Myers. Am projecting forward, not talking about today.

Chayka always talks about a trade benefitting both teams. If he tried to rip anyone off he wouldnt have many trade partners.
I think this will be a fair trade ( if it happens ) and I think both teams will be a little upset at how much and little it cost from both sides.

Over-rated here on HF. In the real world he Johnny Hockey doesn't even enter the conversation. Comprerer?
Based on current playing ability and future potential, trouba will likely be looking at a couple million less per season than Rielly is getting. There's no way he gets the same or more
So I don't know what the jets are waiting for. Offer him his 5 or 6 years at ~3 or 3.5 and get it signed. Simple
They have done it before they did it with Laich to get Connor Carrick and a 2nd, they did it with Lupul to get Gardiner, Lombardi to get Franson.
They do it more than anyone

We have seen this road.. doesn't end well.
So you have a Kurt Overhardt client that is not wanting to sign. While not being said outright, looks like for whatever reason, he wants out.
Your comparables are:
Kyle Turris
Brandon Dubinsky
Ryan Johansen
WPG may appear to have all the cards but.. did not work out that way with other teams. Don't think WPG will get anything near their wishlist and the longer this goes the more the pressure turns from the player to the team.

As long as there are two or more teams keen on acquiring Trouba the Jets will get a very good return in a trade. Chevy would shop around and select the best offer on the table from competing teams. This won't be a bilateral trade negotiation, if it ever transpires.
Sure. Offer him what the Leafs are paying Jared Cowan and Stephane Robidas. That makes a lot of sense.

I think this is why it seems to get worse over time. As teams drop out of negotiations and the season goes on the list of offers tends to dry up. Then the trading team gets backed into a corner and is forced to make a deal. Also depends on how the team does without him and how well the potential trading partners do. If he holds out and the Jets get off to a bad start the dynamic changes quickly. If they do well without him.. and their potential trading partners don't, they may hit the jackpot.

One poster posts one ridiculous trade thread and that's your evidence. Okay.
One? If only it was just one.

It's not so much what Larsson got, but more so what Hall got.
The Oilers wanted a #1 Dman or an established Dman with #1 potential. That crop is very small, and Larsson happened to be the only one available (after Jones got traded).
In this case, Trouba is Hall.
How would an Oilers fan know what a good defenseman looks like? You haven't had one since Pronger. Also, you've said Trouba has regressed each season, once again proving you don't actually watch the player and are merely basing your entire argument on points. He's improved every year defensively and his offensive production has stagnated due to how he's used along with the acquisition of Myers and the change of Byfuglien moving to defense from forward. Both those players get the lions share of offensive opportunities while Trouba's been saddled with a cement pylon. Moving forward our head coach has mentioned he wants to play Trouba on the left side with Byfuglien, a pairing that worked quite well together last season while Stuart was injured but was inevitably split up because Ben Chiarot and Mark Stuart as a pairing were a tier beyond god awful.
Not sure about the most overrated player, but his point total does not show progression and for a player, as they say, "with hugh potential" I don't see why so much interest. I know points is only one aspect of the total package, but I just don't get the interest either.

Where has it ever been reported that he doesn't want to sign? The player stated he'd like to play here at the exit interviews, Lawless earlier reported the two-sides were working on a long-term deal, and Chevy stated yesterday that he doesn't comment upon ongoing contractual negotiations.
