You know what tho, Why not just come out and say, you want to player closer to home for family reasons. I'd accept that over the dog and pony show that we have gotten.

I'd like Buff to come out and say... Hey, if he wants to play RHD, i have no issues playing LHD... That would pretty much say it all in my opinion, 2 weeks ago wicek asked trouba if he card if he was played on the left or right, said it didn't matter, he will play where the team wants him, now 2 weeks later, it's about wanting to be RHD and only RHD... If i'm the Jets, i tell Buff to come out and say he'd gladly play the left side to allow trouba to play the right side. It would definitely put this little trouba wants to play on the right side crap to bed for good. It's not about right side, left side, whatever else. It's not even about Winnipeg, it's about a player and possibly an agent and maybe even family pressure for him to play closer to home... People can believe what they want, but there is and has been lots of talk on other hockey forums that Troubas parents are the ones pulling the strings here and they want their kid to be closer to home, so like i said before, If he is traded, i'd almost guarantee that its out east (not detroit but close enough) (Columbus comes to mind) I'd probably Do Trouba for Murray if Columbus added a wee bit, maybe even a 2nd rd pick... But that's definitely the type of player the Jets want in return. They want an LHD of equal age and calibre... so you can basically go through the list... Detroit? They have nothing so they aren't an option in my opinion. I hear Arizona but they really don't have that LHD, they really don't... they got OEL and that's not happening. Anaheim? Lindholm, unsigned RFA, not at camp, yeah, that's a possibilty Philly... Provorov, or even Sanheim plus? Might be interesting, not sure Hextall wants to deal with Overhardt tho. Here's the thing with the agent, I'm not sure how many teams out there are actually willing to deal with Overhardt... and it's almost at the point, where if Overhardt is the agent of a particular player, I'd think long and hard about drafting that player.... Trouba when drafted didn't have an agent at the time, he wasn't allowed to, he was in the NCAA.... but you can bet your butt that his family had a say in who he chose. It's unfortunate and you can beleive what you want and the truth will come out eventually here but... I do think, i want to say know even, that it's more about his family and his family wanting him to play in the US.

Ristolainen for Trouba is great, I'd do it in a second and Buffalo might also, If we had to add some forward depth (armia, dano,lowry,petan,copp) so be it... However that really solves nothing as Ristolainen is a RHD also.. so really you are kind of in the situation you are in now. Lindholm is the guy i'd add to Trouba to get more so, He's a LHD, despite what Anaheim fans may believe the difference between Trouba and Lindholm isn't that great... Trouba plus Petan plus Dano for Lindholm? In a second, why would Anaheim tho, however you look at their prospects on D and you look at their cap space and perhaps they would move Lindholm, perhaps they would then move Trouba out for some forward help, perhaps to Colorado for Landeskog or something along those lines. But, at this point, there are so many inconsistences in what Trouba's camp is saying that right now, I'd let him sit and think about it... let him rot really for a bit, he's a 22 year old RFA, him and his agent have absolutely zero right to demand a trade anywhere, they will go where the Jets tell them to go... right now, I'd be telling them to go to hell. Does anybody honestly think tho that if Chevy traded Myers that Trouba would sign here? Cuz if he did, that's a top 2 RHD spot opened up... You think he'd sign here then? Cuz i get the feeling he won't, call it his agent who has used this tactic before, call it a hunch, call it, just paying attention to things that have been happening since bogo was traded, Trouba wants out and he wants to be close to home, I really don't think his agent would accept a trade to a Canadian team either, I also don't think i'd be looking to trade him to Canadian teams cuz quite frankly, outside of maybe Vancouver and Juolevi or Montreal and Sergachev, I don't really see that Trouba Calibre and age player the Jets want... Darnell Nurse is not going to be enough to get it done, trust me on that one.

It's called logic. Just search Google. His family wants him closer to home.

Check out lawless twitter. Trouba was supposed to be on h and L... now his agent will be instead. This might just be a tactic by overhardt... a negotiating tactic that perhaps blew up in his face. Wonder if Jacob is having a change of heart here or was told to go along with overhardts plan.. just wait .... in a week trouba will fire overhardt Maybe trouba doesn't want to leave... maybe he's being told by his agent he should. Who knows. His agent is such a ****** and might have met his match with Chevy and TNSE not willing to cave in to his demands

Oh well. It's pre season.

Yup. Bottom line. Trouba doesn't want to play in Canada. It's not even about Winnipeg here. It's about him and his agent feeling that playing in the states and probably closer to his parents is best for him. Personally... he can sit until a team meets Chevys asking price. Like Perreault said .. the guy played 22 minutes a Night.... how much more time does he want. Once ppl realize it's not about ice time or that stuff and it's about wanting to play where he wants to play.... these stupid trade Myers things will stop. Trade Myers. Trade Buff. Irrelevant. Trouba doesn't want to play in Canada

Baseball. Football. Golf. Awful day for sports

Except trouba isn't a star player..... yet. He thinks he is but he's not. He's not a 1 rhd on any team. He's probably a 2 rhd on most but definitely not a 1. Lawless saying the ask is a similar age and calibre lhd. Ryan Murray from Columbus. Provorov from Philly. Klefbom from Edmonton. Hanifin from Carolina.

A 22 year old right handed D man will bring back a Damn good haul and every team will have interest.

Terrible day for sports fans. This is just awful.

Nah. Pass. It's not enough.

Whats his asking price? He said himself it's not about money. Nobody will give him 6 7 million long term. The comparables are in... Reilly got 5. Trouba will be lucky to get that.

He's going East or to Arizona and it won't be until the Jets get their price. Bigger deal seems likely.... Trouba Plus excess forward depth for Young LHD plus.... Trouba will get back more than some think. 29 other teams probably calling Chevy. Problem probably is he only wants to be traded to a certain team or teams sO If that's the case... he's gonna be sitting on his ass for a long while still

Edmonton probably isn't an option.

Ya. Quoting myself. I personally wouldn't be surprised if it's trouba plus excess forward (Dano Armia copp Lowry petan type) for Hamonic plus small add (young ahl lhd)

Why would the jets just let him go to Vegas for nothing. Vegas isn't an option. Dude has a list of acceptable teams... Colorado Arizona Detroit Tampa to name a few. Teams he won't play for include all Canadian teams

Bottom line. If he wants to play in the nhl... he has 2 options. . 1. Sign with the Jets. 2. Sit until he is traded. Jets will not let a 22 year old RFA who has earned nothing and has zero rights tell them what they can do. He won't be traded until someone offers what the jets want.

Why did every team pass on him including Calgary Damn near twice

They lost on a last play no time on the clock fg to a team who has 1 loss .. is unbeaten at home. They were on even footing and in the 2nd half were the much better team. All they have to do to beat Calgary is simple.... play 60 minutes. Calgary looked pretty beatable today and in the 2nd half the bombers exposed some flaws in tge stamps

Oh are you still on the site? How's the Esks doing.

His brother who worked for the jets... TJ Trouba ... he was let go... in.... May. Trouba is done as a Jet.

RNH plus Klefbom for Trouba plus Dano or Armia or Lowry works for me

Why are we giving up a 1st. Why would Chevy do this. We don't need a forward especially one who would be a 3rd liner. Just stop with that.

Or maybe just bullshitting a wee bit
