He has been playing LHD with Byfuglien on RHD, and the pairing was good.
Just to confirm, we know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about the demands of either party here. We don't know how close or far away they are from a deal. We don't know that Trouba wants out, either. Under these circumstances, a contract is still, by far, the likeliest scenario.
This is completely fair. For all we know the two parties are bargaining over 7 vs 8 years, or 6.1 vs 6.25, or a 8 vs 12 team NTC, or NMC vs NTC.
Saying that, it is getting harder to give teams benefit of the doubt when young stars stay unsigned for long periods of time, especially when 'some media' have talked about rumblings of issues.
Of course we all know thats the odds favor him signing with Winnipeg, at roughly what everyone thinks hes worth, on probably a long term deal. B
BUT this is a discussion board about someones worth if they were to be traded. The only reason to trade him (unless utter over payment) is if there is an issue getting him signed.
So yes, a trade of four quarters for a dollar trade isnt ideal if you have limited room for coins, but thats the scenario we are all mentally agreeing to play in, or else just dont look at trade boards! Not to be mean or harsh, just this kind of idea keeps popping up and it kind of removes the appeal of debating hypothetical situations.
Keep rocking on everyone!
