Speculation: Why Has Trouba Not Signed Yet?

[david999]

Just curious why Trouba has not been signed yet by Winnipeg? Does he want to be traded, or are the Jets on an internal budget and can't afford him?

demanding too much. He wants too much, Jets aren't offering as much. No need for a thread for this

same thing for all negotiations with organization/agent

 

[Maukkis]

Sigh. Do we really need another Trouba thread?

Dude is a RFA. We hold his rights. We have time to negotiate. We can afford him both money wise and cap wise.

Patience is the key.

 

[WesMcCauley]

Because he wants more than Jets wanna give him?

 

[YWGinYYZ]

Why aren't:

Stone, Gaudreau, Ristolainen, Monahan, Nichushkin, Lindholm, Dumba, Corrado, etc.

signed yet?

Most likely because they're RFA's with no arbitration rights, and teams have time to negotiate these contracts. Not sure why Trouba gets singled out.

 

[Pyromaniac]

He wants out of Winnipeg which is why he is asking for more money from them in the hopes that they will trade him.

He wants out just as much as Matthews wants....

 

[Bubba Thudd]

Just out of curiosity, who is Trouba's agent?

Agreed I don't think either organization's relationship with their player will ever be the same.

Overhardt

Trouba, Lindholm, Dumba, and Ristolainen may all be looking for the other guys to sign to help their case.

 

[tacogeoff]

He is out enjoying his summer and his agent can take his time in negotiations. its only mid July.

There are enough comparables out there like Rielly, Jones and Ekblad who have already signed.

The real reason why these guys haven't signed is because they quite clearly want out of their respective teams.

I they wanted out, they wouldn't be talking about a long term deal.

They would have gone to arbitration.

Smoke and mirrors.

I know it's the offseason but Jesus. Teams negotiate with players. Like every year.

Offer him $6m for 7 years and hope that Buff will play on the left side. They will probably trade him or Myers at the trade deadline cause one of them will be lost to Las Vegas next year.

I would guess its because he and the team havent met a contract agreement yet.

Smoke and mirrors.

It's not smoke and mirrors.

Trouba and the others didn't go to arbitration and didn't sign their QOs.

They aren't getting moved by dragging out RFA contract talks.

And Risto is talking a long term deal with the Sabres. It's just taking a while to hammer out.

If they were going to sign they would have signed by now.

Myers will be protected long before Armia, Dano and Lowry will. We have the offensive depth to more than survive the loss of one of those three, but we can't afford to lose Myers for free.

Why has Gaudreau not signed yet?

Roger Millions thinks he wants to play closer to home https://m.reddit.com/r/CalgaryFlame...et_ama/?utm_source=mweb_redirect&compact=true

I think Trouba wants a lot more than he's worth(and what player doesn't). I just think he's really overrating himself. He's not on the same level as guys like Lindholm, Ristolainen, Ekblad, etc. Reilley is a better comp for him. Dumba would be a good one too.

Ive always said the same thing too... he should be getting around(give or take a tiny bit) what he signed for... If hes demanding way more than him, his agent is out to lunch... if Jets are offering way less, then they are crazy

Who knows though, maybe there negotiations are in fact only a few hundred thousand difference per year and that's what is holding this up.. both sides refusing to budge
