JV77 Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Quote It appears Jacob Trouba‘s time with the Winnipeg Jets will soon come to an end. The 22-year-old defenceman, who was picked ninth overall in the 2012 NHL Draft, has requested a trade from the Jets and will not attend training camp. He is currently a restricted free agent. On Saturday, Trouba’s agent Kurt Overhardt released a statement to the media, a copy of which was obtained by Sportsnet: “Our client, Jacob Trouba, will not be attending the Winnipeg Jets NHL training camp. Since May, we have been working with the Jets management in an effort to facilitate a trade of Jacob’s rights. Both parties continue to work on this matter. There has been no negotiation regarding the terms of a contract between our client and the Jets over the course of the last several months. The situation is not about money; it is solely about our client having the opportunity to realize his potential as a right shot NHL defenseman. To the Jets credit, the club has two outstanding right shot veteran defensemen and our client simply wants the opportunity to have a greater role. As a consequence of the Jets depth on the right side, we believe it is in both parties’ best interest to facilitate a mutually advantageous trade. Our client has nothing but respect for the people and City of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Jets, its fans, management and ownership - our desire to get him moved has everything to do with opportunity. We will continue to work with the Jets in good faith to achieve this end." http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/jacob-troubas-agent-says-client-requested-trade/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 WOw woder where he'll end up? Canucks should avoid as he would most likely get claimed in the expansion draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 This is one of those rare opportunities where a top young defenseman is available before he reaches his prime. Benning needs to get in on this. A future top 4 of Trouba, Juolevi, Hutton, and Gudbranson would be awesome.

He's probably not worth what they'll be asking for now, but I think in a few years any deal for him will be considered a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, for that one week in late June, just after the grass greens, and the flowers bloom, and just before the bugs come, yes it's rather pretty.
