Speculation: Trouba Contract Discussion Part II

[Hunter368]

I'm not speculating about Trouba wanting to play elsewhere. My post history will reveal a pattern indicating my information, including proposals to trade him.

I am speculating about Chevy making a bigger move than just Trouba, based on the stack of forwards and the need for depth on defense.

Are you expecting me to believe you have some inside information. Really?

 

[Aavco Cup]

what statements? The statements his agent made? Lol...come on! For all you know trouba wanted 8 mil a year for 5 years to stay. Should chevy have done that?

 

[Jetabre]

Let him sit until we get a good enough trade offer or he signs a contract. Time for Morrissey to show us what he can do.

I told you guys about 3 weeks ago that I have insider info he doesn't want to be here, I heard from someone whom had a face to face discussion with him. The usage is part of it but there is more to it than that.

The old friend of a friend 'inside scoop'.

Then they should of traded him before now. Trading him now doesn't help increase his return

You ever heard of waiting for a return you want?

We traded two young top 5 picks for ZERO core players. Look at the return Adam Larson fetched. We could've got a lot more for Bogosian had Chevy played that one right. Kane would have returned a top 5 pick after after scoring 30.

I don't think Bogo's trade value was anywhere near Larsson's, based on a variety of considerations. I'll leave it at that.

 

[Canucks LB]

Seems like a good guy, clear minded, well spoken, seems to love the city and fans, but managment/coaching is holding him back

Last season, I felt the Ladd distraction was the major reason for our disaster of a season. If this Trouba situation drags on, it could lead to another distraction leading to another right off season. I want to see this team start making decisions for this team to take a step forward. Chevy should of know this was coming and hope he is prepared to move to get this resolved quickly either with a signing or trade.

 

[Unholy goalie]

Maloney showed how you do it. You draw a line in the sand. You refuse to trade him. You force him to sign a team friendly deal. If he doesn't he can go play in europe.

You don't trade him now.

This.

Let him sit now until the end of November. Unless someone is willing to pay full price right away, Chevy is in no rush to trade. Let him sit. There will be teams who realize before Dec 1st that they need help on D, so it is in Chevy's interest to wait here.

 

[SensibleGuy]

can you pull up the quote from a few days back when trouba said he wanted to be in winnipeg please?

I have no doubt Trouba wants to play on the right side. That doesn't mean he gets to dictate that to the team or that Chevy has to give him whatever he asks for to stay.

 

[kylbaz]

I don't think Bogo's trade value was anywhere near Larsson's, based on a variety of considerations. I'll leave it at that.

Agree. Comparing Larsson and Bogo is just silly.

I'm saying I did. I'm not expecting you to believe me, for various reasons.

Ok so your saying Chevy had zero exceptable trades in the last two years but suddenly now after demanding a trade and not under contract Trouba will suddenly land Chevy his dream return?

 

[Gump Hasek]

I like you as a poster.

All due respect but your comment above comes off as a bit disingenuous. They couldn't just ship Trouba in June while Myers was under the knife and with no clarity as to his return.

You also have no idea yet as to how the timing will impact the return. Teams will line up to trade for a young RD with upside like Trouba.

 

[puck stoppa]

Usage lol. I love it. Give me a break Jacob.

 

[WinnipegWinter*]

A GM's job is to not have his roster decisions shaped or dictated by an external force such as the agent of a player that is an RFA. The Jets know more about this player than do those of us posting on message-boards. Perhaps this is as much a case of the Jets moving on from the player as it as it is about Trouba moving on from the Jets?

That would be the dumbest way for management to move on from a top tier asset

 

[drumzan]

Why don't they just play Myers on 3rd line? Sigh...

 

[puck stoppa]

You're right, they should've traded an rfa a year ago

 

[surixon]

Usage lol. I love it. Give me a break Jacob.

He played 22 plus minutes a night, he's in for a rude awakening if he feels that he's going to get handed the top spot on defense just because he wants it.

No offence but never met you, likely never will......you know how people on this forum claim to have "information"?

 

[Hunter368]

Thx AC. Good kid, wish him best. Sad it won't be here. Like said it's about his future, team showed him what's best for his future isn't on this team

 

[Skiffer55]

You're way off man but we'll agree to disagree. Kane has only increased his value in Buffalo, eh?

 

[BoneDocUK]

That was be the dumbest way for management to move on from a top tier asset

How would you compare this to the Drouin saga?

There, as we all know, Stevie Y stood firm, while restless superstar-in-waiting JD sat out, took flak, pouted briefly in the minors then got his shot, took it and learned to love the Lightning.

Any chance of such a happy ending here?

Some posters are more credible, you learn that after 5 years on here

 

[Jetabre]

Why don't they just play Myers on 3rd line? Sigh...

Cause he wouldn't realize his potential there.
