I am not the guy you want to be wrong about.
What, is Trouba in elementary school or something? Those are the antics of a baby. I seriously question your age for even suggesting it.

I posted this in the previous Trouba thread - http://hfboards.mandatory.com/showthread.php?t=2129651&page=21
I also said it was not in any article posted and that I got it from elsewhere. Fans, mostly from a very nice city somewhere north of The US border, want ape feces and demonized me as a halfwit Eklund nutcase.
Dregers tweet yesterday all but confirms what I already then on September 29th claimed. Eat the blackbird now. Trouba on Broadway looking more likely but Boston is pushing hard is what I now heard. Detroit too. Original 6 it appears

Listen, there is no one who loves Canada more than Trouba. There is no one who respects Canadian teams more than Jacob Trouba. The fact of the matter is that as we speak, his agent Overhardt is negotiating a deal with American GMs, it's gonna be one hell of a deal, it's going to be the best deal ever made. The Jets fans are gonna love the deal, it's gonna be Yuuuuuuge. Jets fans are going to thank Mr Trouba for negotiating such a great deal and trade for them. The Jets will love the trade so much that they will voluntarily pay Mr Trouba for the money he lost holding out. All the other Canadian teams are gonna look and say WOW! THIS IS YUGE! I can't believe how great this is.
Don't listen to media, don't listen to all the accounts of Jets fans hating on Trouba. That's all false. The Jets fans love Trouba, they love him! There is no player the Jets fans love more than Trouba! The media is spreading lies! Everyone loves Trouba! There is no player more popular in all of Canada and Winnipeg than Trouba! The comparable contracts being thrown out are all rigged. You will see when Trouba signs a contract it'll be great. He will go to an American team and be the best defenseman ever. Jets fans will thank him being such a great player and negotiating such a great deal.

I'm hoping Lamiorello moves on Trouba like a *****.
He's automatically attracted to talent, he just starts trading for them, it's like a magnet. Just trade. He doesn't even wait. And when you're Lou Lamiorello, they let you do it. You can do anything. Gardiner for Trouba. You can do anything.
Fowler has been our best player this year. We have absolutely no reason to trade him for Trouba. We had none before Lindholm signed. This goofy scenario where we trade something of value in order to get something of value to trade is and always will be the dumbest thing that gets proposed around these boards. The absolute dumbest thing. No one does this. If Anaheim decides to trade Fowler, then they'll trade him for something that they need, in a direct fashion. They don't need Winnipeg's help for that. If you want an LD, then I suggest offering something of need for one.

An alternate view is that, leaking that he doesn't want to play in Canada is the pretext to justify that the agent has torpedoed the player's value and is limiting the potential return as such; since the current situation prevents the GM from examining his full range of available options, it justifies not trading the player until such point as the GM is in charge of the transaction and not the agent. This likely is the pretext to explain why the player might not play in the NHL this season.

I'm starting to come around more and more to a young draft exempt dman+. I really don't want to lose Armia or Dano to expansion.

Losing Armia would sting really badly. Like, really. So this should be considered.

Also, lets just cancel the season and give Winnipeg the Cup and Trouba the Conn Smythe right now.

That is so foolish. Everyone knows the Leafs and Matthews will get both of those distinctions.

Darren Dreger, Just pretty much confirmed what i've been saying. That Jacob Trouba has no desire to play for any Canadian team. So we shall see how this goes and if Trouba can't play his normal rightside in Winnipeg then it sounds like he has no desire for Winnipeg period.

NYR should be interested, he will easily get top 4 minutes and could possible get top 2 minutes pretty fast if he is a good fit with Mcdonagh. Miller, 2017 1st, Klein, Hayes, Skjei should all be on the table for us to try to get Trouba. I dont see Trouba as a comparable to Rielly, Risto etc. He is a little behind them imo and even further behind a guy like Lindholm´s twoway game. Dont know what Jet gm wants in return though but he would fit in very good with our young forward group.

It doesn’t change anything IMO. The Jets will need to protect him either way, which means they will have to go 4 and 4 instead of 6 and 3 but the Jets don’t NEED to protect more than 4 forwards. I like them but loosing Lowry, Armia or Dano isn’t the end of the world.

The Jets ask per Elliotte Friedman:
http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/30-thoughts-game-changing-move-seattles-nhl-bid/
None of "Miller, 2017 1st, Klein, Hayes, Skjei" meet that criteria.

Yup all indications are that Jeff Gorton and the Rangers are all in on Jacob Trouba, I think that Trouba would be a perfect fit with the Rangers or maybe Bruins possibly Devils as well. Just depends on what kind of package they can do to entice Cheveldayoff. The same article suggested that Kurt Overhardt is only talking to American clubs on the behalf of his client. I think Trouba would be willing to pretty much play for any American team it just sounds like he doesn't want to play in Canada. If Overhardt tells Cheveldayoff that they're willing to do a deal based around any American team and just omit the Canadian teams. Chevelday should stil get decent trading maybe Arizona or Philly or Carolina quite a few teams have what Chevy would be seeking. Just depends if Philly with Sanheim or Carolina with Hanifin or Arizona with Chychrun are willing to move them.
Here's the problem with that though. If that is the case and once a player is drafted by the 'peg and they know they have no hope of ever getting out if something comes up and they want a trade, where is their incentive to even sign an ELC with them. Just sit out and either re-enter the draft in 2 years or if they are playing NCAA, just stay in school for 4 years and the sign with who ever they want.
Is there risk associated with those routes? Of course, but there is also apparently risk in signing with Winnipeg in the fact that they will never let you leave if you want out.
And Rick Nash was only getting traded for Derek Stepan, Chris Kreider and 3 first round picks...
Didn't Freidman also report that the Jets were going to have no issues getting Trouba to sign and he would be in camp over the summer?
My point is, Chevy is simply using Elliotte as a mouthpiece to keep the fans happy in that he seems to be holding his ground.
All signs outside of Winnipeg fans point to a Trouba trade in the next few weeks for the best package available. The sooner the better for everyone invlolved.

That would be your opinion. I believe it was Dreger that reported Cheveldayoff had received no offers that interested him, and Friedman is reporting the ask and also his expectation that nothing is imminent. "The sooner the better" is also not applicable if Chevy would now prefer to let him sit versus trading him for less than what he views to be Trouba's worth. That value BTW is not necessarily in line with what you may view to be the player's worth.

Not sure what city you are referring to; however, most of the Jets fans I have talked tended to agree with your comment that Canada was the problem. I know you have some approved sources, any word on how you think this ends up?
