Speculation: Why Has Trouba Not Signed Yet?

[allan5oh]

I still think 5 million over 6 years is the ticket. I'd love that contract.

 

[Soundwave]

Gonna take a wild shot in the dark here and say he's probably asking for too much money.

Would love that deal, I would do that every single day for Trouba.

 

[GoJetsGo55]

Probably waiting to see if our mayor will come through on his promise to bring running water and electricity to the city.

...but in what other city can he just skate to the rink if he dog sled breaks down...

 

[TT1]

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.

one of these is not like the others

After DeKeyser gets that contract you have to assume Trouba gets more

That DeKeyser contract is so lame for us but it chews up a bunch of UFA years right?

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Still wish the Bruins signed him to an offer sheet where we would've gotten four first round picks.

 

[10coach*]

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

Can you blame him wanting out of Winnipeg?

Care to add something to the conversation, or did you simply want to nitpick my quick glance at generalfanager regarding the RFA status of a variety of players? My point stands - there are many unsigned RFA's without Arbitration rights. There's time to sign Trouba, and if Chevy's past RFA signings are any indication: he's in no hurry.

Don't worry, Gin. The Trades board is where you go to tear down other prospects, players, fanbases, and teams. There is very little objectivity and a lot of trolling here. Also, buddy thinks he's being cute by taking a post you made 10 days ago and applying current day logic to it, as Dumba recently signed a bridge deal.

Can you blame him wanting out of Winnipeg?

Because no young player wants to be on a team that could be the next great dynasty?

Right?

Yup only the first year is rfa.

Link ? All this is is speculation at it finest . There were rumours about him asking for a ton but his agent said it was not the case . I don't think an agent would lie knowing his statement is being viewed by the public . It does not go well if an agent is known as a lair when it comes to negotiating contracts with GM's or gaining the trust of a potential client .

Right?

Dynasty? Lol thats laughable. Lets see the Jets actually win a playoff series first.

Why fill people's heads with lies and empty promises?

Lol yeah right dynasty, Maybe in 20 years or so.

 

[bernmeister]

because of the sweet contract McD is on,

McDonagh + Rangers 2017 4th + Rangers 2018 5th
for
Trouba + Jets 2017 2nd + Jets 2018 3rd

How are you going to afford to give Shattenkirk $7 million per after giving Trouba $7 million per long term.

Yeah it wouldn't surprise me if Trouba didn't get either 6x5.5 or 6x6 in this deal.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Yeah 1 RFA year and 5 years of UFA that's why it was so much. Still at the most and most of us Wing fans agree that DeKeyser shouldn't have gotten more then $4 million to $4.5 million per at the very most.

 

[leaflover]

Plenty of time before camps open. No need to worry before then and the market price is basically set. There are a whole host of possible reasons no ink has found it's way to paper yet.

I think he might actually mean he's itching to go to the Oilers.
