That's what his agent said.
- stormey

at the end of the day if he doesn't want to be there, (frank) it. move him, get assets and move on.

Part of me hopes they let him rot for a year.

Same agent that Ryan Johanson had...just an idiot.

In fact I wouldn't be surprised if Chevy is under some pressure by other GM's to not cave to this and let him sit.
- stormey

The whole thing sounds weird. Who sits for that reason?

Espeially if he asked for a trade back in May.
- BINGO!

Love that his agent says he's going to help negotiate a trade.

(frank) off you cock!

His value only drops the longer he sits. Unless they think they could get him to come back they're better off trading him right away.

You're right, but Trouba cannot also wait months while not playing hockey... it's not a better situation for him if this lasts months either.

Maybe he changes his mind and comes back to the team, like Drouin did.

He's a 22 year old 6'3 D man who can hit and skate.
His value isn't dropping anytime soon.

You wait for the best deal possible.

why?
- stormey

the only reason i see his value dropping is the league knows he wants out and will sit. but that's where the jets can then play the (frank) you card and let him rot, as you put it.

why?
- stormey

Because he's still not established. I'm not saying he's not good or that he's lacking in potential, just that players like that seem to get traded for less than their worth. Look at what Hamilton got. The longer he doesn't play the more it hurts his development.

December 1 is the cutoff date.
If he's not dealt by then he can't play this year.

That date could work either way though. The Jets could feel the pressure for sure, however another team could look at it like a trade deadline and give it's best offer. It also works to lower his contract demands.

OK...but we're talking weeks here....not years.

yeah but look at second contracts now. teams aren't worried about being established. just being a stud

I read a lot about him since he's in my keeper team and the news came in the day after I proposed him in a trade. Did you know that he launched the Jacob Trouba app on Twitter at some point? (frank)ing douche.

I'm not sure Winnipeg sees him that way.

Yeah...he missed that whole summer of development. That world cup really set him back.

Everyone (frank)s up those trades. Not too many instances that teams trade good yound d and end up ahead in the deal....except New Jersey.
