Aaron Portzline, a Columbus Blue Jackets reporter, for The Athletic just reported that Winnipeg Jets forward Jack Roslovic fired his agent Ken Robinson. The player had requested a trade several times last year. Lack of playing time. Wasn't happy in his role.

His new agent is Claude Lemieux. Claude is the father of Rangers wing Brendan who also came from Winnipeg last year. Jim Gorton has a relationship with Kevin Cheveldayoff from their deadline trade last year. Kevin Hayes. Brendan Lemieux. 1st round pick.

How did Kevin Hayes work out for Winnipeg? Good luck in Philly. Hope he likes cheesesteaks.

Would Gorton try to swindle Cheveldayoff a second time in a year? Cheveldayoff is notoriously difficult to trade with. Stingy. Conservative. Risk-averse. He does not give in to his employees demands.

How long has Jacob Troubda wanted out? Cheveldayoff has kept him there against his wishes for years. Troubda is going to be a Group 3 UFA at the end of this year if he doesn't sign long term. He may finally get his wish. They will need someone to replace him on the top pairing.

Neal Pionk played on the top pairing much of the year under David Quinn, a developmental coach.

Pionk for Roslovic. 1 for 1.
This will never get old.
 
Trouba’s upcoming value (for winnipeg) has always been dependent on how many teams he’d be willing to sign long term with. If it’s 1-3 teams and 2 of those teams aren’t interested in trading, winnipeg is screwed. If they are 5-7 teams he’d consider, winnipeg has an auction.

If that’s the deal. I much prefer the rangers go route of trading for a defensemen with 1RD potential who has a couple more years left at a reasonable price. As opposed to paying a boat haul for trouba and then paying him primo bucks.

Hmmmm I wonder if there is a guy out there that fits the bil
There are going to be several teams interested but until a deal is put in front of him, you don’t know where he will sign a new contract. You have to negotiate the deal with Winnipeg first and then talk to the player. It would be very unusual to get permission from the team to talk until they were satisfied with an offer.

1RD defensemen are not generally available unless you want to gamble with EK65 (and I don’t recommend that)

I think Kreider is worth more than ten spots in this draft.

I’d be pretty disappointed if that’s the type of package it takes. If that’s the case, I’d just stay at 20 or try to get to like 17 if Seider is there

I think we'd probably look for something like
8-12 OA & 2nd pick (38-42 OA)
for
20 OA and Kreider
 
Trouba has a girlfriend living in south Florida studying to be a doctor at Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale. In 2017, Trouba bought a condo in south Florida. She probably lives there because she started school there in 2017. They met at the University of Michigan. She graduated from Michigan in 2013. She is three years older than him. She will graduate from medical school in Florida in 2021. They have ties to Michigan. She goes to school in south Florida.

When you think of buying a luxurious property in South Florida as a young professional, Fort Lauderdale might not be the first city you think of. However, with its changing demographics from retirees to young professionals, it seemed like the perfect choice for the Winnipeg Jets’ Jacob Trouba.

Trouba is a 23-year-old Michigan native who decided to make Auberge Beach Residences and Spa his primary residence along with his girlfriend, Kelly Tyson. Trouba is excelling in his career as he was a first round, ninth overall pick and has scored 31 goals for the Winnipeg Jets.

Where does Trouba want to spend the next 6-7 years playing? The girlfriend will play a major role. I am assuming Trouba is planning to marry her and she will have a major say in the decision. He has been in Winnipeg. She has been in Florida.

I can't believe that people give him as much shit as they do. When I fall behind on a thread, I literally skim for tweets and posts by @RangerBoy @bobbop @BBKers (and a few other high-quality posters), and ignore everything else.

I'm pretty sure RB is a benevolent skynet that only cares about the Rangers, with the dots he's able to connect.

Didn't know JVR was in This Is 40.
