What's wrong about the speculation I put forward? The average, casual Jets fan has little to no idea how good (or at times, even who) Lindholm is. Hence he's undervalued by the vast majority of the fanbase.

Yeah good call, I'm sure Trouba would only want to play in a noted beautiful city like Detroit, on a franchise that's clearly on the ups like the Wings!
Detroit still has some insanely rich suburbs, and he sort of grew up there, played Jr hockey on the outskirts, and went to university for a year outside it.

Where you seem to be going wrong is forgetting that Trouba is similarly undervalued. In fact his lower QoT make the situation even worse. IOW this isn't a case of Jets fans underestimating Lindholm, it's a case of you making the mistakes you accuse other of and underestimating Trouba.
I live in the Winnipeg market. I don't undervalue his value or his importance to the team. I was responding to (multiple) posts asking why Jets fans undervalue Fowler. No where in my posts did I mention Trouba--or his value in comparison to Fowler--so how you came to that conclusion is beyond me. You formulated something that never existed; I simply shared my opinion on why the Jets fanbase undervalues Fowler and Lindholm.

You just said that the Winnipeg (via Toronto) media is negligent on reporting on Western D-men, though.

I guess it needs to be said, since the dots aren't being connected here: this is true for markets outside of Canadian teams in the western conference; of course Jets fans aren't going to undervalue their players
Trouba was never mentioned by me--so why bother bring up his name?

Winnipeg is Good
Do you think Jacob Trouba reads this thread?
If he is, he is losing another salary 2 GAMES NOW !! and counting...

Because it's a Trouba thread?
My post wasn't referring to him. The context post directly centered around other players (and why they were being undervalued as sole entities--that is to say not in comparison to Trouba). You and others are grasping at straws, but that's alright; let's move along now, shall we?
The comparision was between drouin in tampa and trouba in winnipeg
Droin did not say trade me to detroit, then looked at the city again and said.gee no thanks
I am sure the city and the team ARE a selling feature for yzerman
Trouba is from michigan, is american, I am sure he knows about detroit
Lame try though..

Fly. Don't look, just fly.
Sure - but did Stevie Y have the same 'ticking clock' scenario Chevy and Troubadour face?
Figure out a solution by Dec. 1 or you both lose-?
I wonder if Yzerman - or Drouin - would had let things play out how they did with a hard deadline looming versus several months to wait it out.

I was not at all making a jab at winnipeg
but I am sure EVERYONE knows where tampa bay is located and how good that team is, its a bonus for Yzerman, one few if any other GMs have the

RIP, Jimmy.
No, he didn't. The longer this goes on it becomes less likely with each day that Trouba signs.

You really think a greedy ***** like Trouba will forfeit 5mil +-salary and extend his free agency a year? I think he signs a team friendly long term deal some where in the 5-5.5m range, at that point he will be moved rather fast. The deadline only affects Trouba the jets have moved on.

Jets have to be thinking to themselves what the odds are that Trouba changes his mind, and decides to stay in WPG. Yzerman won that gamble in Tampa, but I think it was a different case there.
If Trouba really doesn't want to play in WPG, why keep him around? An unhappy player is a drag on the team. This idea of "punishing" him somehow is silly, especially when it hurts your own team. Move him for the best possible value...don't get hung up on this similarly aged and talented LHD, which limits your return.

Right because Trouba would be living in Detroit.
When he's from Rochester Hills Detroit has some of the most beautiful and wealthy suburbs in the entire USA I just love fans think that players who come to Detroit would be living there when we've awesome suburbs there as well.

Nope you let him sit until he signs a deal then you move him for fair market value! Chevy will not take pennies on the dollar for a guy that they have invested a lot into.

Sure that's the only way Cheveldayoff is going to get any thing of value for Trouba, It certainly isn't going to happen with him unsigned.
