Speculation: Trouba Contract Discussion Part II

[wpgsilver]

Welp.
Announcing the trade demand isn't really operating in good faith. Immediately eats into the Jets bargaining position.

Welp.

This is no good for us. My guess is that they've already requested a trade privately and Jets have shopped him but didn't like their offers. By Trouba+Overhardt publicly asking, teams will offer less than before.

Of course they will. So make him sit.
Then do him for hamonic

 

[bustamente]

Can't say that i'm really surprised by this.

 

[Darth Jet]

This is ridiculous, so apparently he doesn't want to play the left side, **** you Overhardt. I know its not beneficial for the jets but screw Overhardt, leave him unsigned for 4 years. (Note:still pissed off from the last second stamps FG and now this)

 

[supersonic jet]

From Overhardt:

So if it not about money sign a resonable contract and we will trade if not you can sit this yr and we can send your brother back with you.

If they've been talking about it since May, I'm guessing every team in the league got a call from Chevy by now.

Not about term or money, it's about bloody usage. Really Chevy? We're going to sacrifice Trouba to keep Myers?

Oh brother

See...I told you guys my spidey sense was tingling again.

Oh brother

Very well could be.
My point is that offers will get worse not better as a result of a trade request being made public.

 

[Blue Shakehead]

if that's true, Myers should have been shipped to Edmonton months ago.

 

[Heldig]

Badly played by Chevy.

 

[Hobby Bull]

Maybe with 8 years Jets get a discount to $5.5 million. Otherwise 6x6.

I think you're missing a bigger picture here. The team is highly unlikely to get a "volume discount" on years for a young player.

The more logical result of 8 years vs. 6 is that the A.A.V. would go UP!

U.F.A. years for a player in his prime are absolutely more expensive for the team.

I am not hugely surprised. My sense has been that Trouba might not have wanted to sign long term with the Jets. According to Overhardt, he hasn't even been discussing contract with the Jets for the past several months. I guess he thinks this will put more pressure on Chevy to make a trade. It seems likely that Chevy has been reluctant to trade Trouba until seeing how Myers responded to surgery. I wonder what the trade market is for Myers.

 

[Hunter368]

So stupid, no talks for months?

Hope Trouba likes his new team, Chevy is bone head.

Oh brother

Your not really believing the agent are you, its always about money.

You mean right after he had knee and hip surgery?

I see your post, don't agree. Chevy blew this one.

 

[SensibleGuy]

I'd say it's probably as much about money/not really wanting to be here as it is about usage. As in, the money needs to be enough to counterbalance the fact that he'd rather be elsewhere. Wants a premium to stay...sorta the opposite of the 'ol hometown discount.

 

[puck stoppa]

You're wrong

 

[wpgsilver]

You're wrong

Care to elaborate?
A post like that does nothing but antagonize.

 

[Whileee]

Offer sheet Lindholm. Work out a trade for picks for Trouba.

 

[ffh]

Make him sit. Or go play in khl. No way do you trade him.
