Sit Melchiori, Chiarot and Thorburn.

[HardCoreBlue]

If we can get to .500 by then, our hope will be refreshed by end of November once we get to see our actual starting line-up, i.e., Little and Company back for a more sustained period of time and having Trouba (or replacement).

If he does, I wonder what type of reception he gets from the locals.

Sports fans are way forgiving.

Rapist? Can he still fight?

Dog fights? Can he still throw?

Sure, we'll forgive criminals, if they're OUR criminals.

But don't throw shade at our team/city!!

(We'll see)

[Goalie]

Trouba never did throw shade at Winnipeg and neither did his agent.  It was all rumors really. Who knows. 

I guess it will depend on what he says when the media speaks to him.

I think the fact that this is 2 years and not 6 years like every other comparable D-Man out there speaks volumes.

Him and his agent did the right thing by not crapping on Winnipeg because if they had, this 2 year bridge deal wouldn't have turned out well for Trouba the next time he stepped on the ice.  A smart agent knows he has no leverage after the ELC and this outcome was a real possibility, and they left that door open by claiming this was about playing the "right side".

Yes it will be interesting to hear what he has to say. Any guesses?

Worst case scenario and what would be really 'funny', if a trade isn't completed in the timeframe Trouba and his agent want, he then sits until it's done.

The Jets have lost a bit of their leverage with this signing if Trouba and agent get finicky the longer he stays with the Jets.

Murray? Dumba not comparables?  They got 2 yr bridge deals 

[Rich]

 Minny had no choice with Dumba because of their cap situation   They had no room to sign him to a 5-6M contracts

The Jets do

Those guys also didn't hold out for a made up reason.  You really think Trouba has had a sudden change of heart?  Or he doesn't want to lose a year of earnings and a year towards being a free agent  

If he wanted to be here long term, there are plenty of comparables to pull from.

True enough if he really wanted to be here he would of signed a 6-7 year contract at 5 - 5.5  he wont be getting anymore that in 2 years. 

[Goalie]

If he puts up good to great numbers he will get more than 5.5 

[iHeart]

So is trouble going to be in the lineup?

[Ducky]

???????

Morrissey Buff

Enstrom Trouba

Chiarot Postma

Doubt that he starts this game...

If he's here I'll bet he does. 

Buff Morrissey 

Trouba Enstrom 

Myers Chiamelchistuart 

[FrostyWinnipeg]

Stu, Postma, Chiarot. One must go. Guessing Chiarot which is too bad with his shot.

Please no.  I like Chiarot and I like him with Buff but I like Morrissey more.

Morrissey Buff

Enstrom Myers

Chiarot Trouba

 

[Ducky]

Postma or Stuart should start ahead of Chiarot...

[Goalie]

They won't tho.  Postma will be press boxed with Stu when everyone is healthy. 

Switching up buff and Morrissey is dumb. I'd imagine trouba will be top 4 so they can showcase him.

Postma has been a dumpster fire all year. I had hopes that he would be a good puck moving dman but he's not showing that now. Can't move the puck and can't defend.

[JCon]

I don't think you can give Trouba top 4 minutes in his first game back. Even if he's in great condition, he still needs some game time to get back up to speed.

Trouba is in town and will be at the morning skate.  Will he play????
