Trouba is asking for 7 mil in arbitration, Jets countered with 4 mil

Plus, per Olney, they want Trout when his current deal expires. Southern NJ boy going back near his home.

it's the right handed thing

we are living in a world where Taylor Hall was traded for Adam Larsson because he is right handed

I do think Trouba is a bit overrated. I wouldn't want to pay him $7 million a year.

But, I also think that we need to start looking at these deals from the perspective of % versus the cap, because with the cap going up so much in the last few years, $7 million is effective what $5 million was a few years ago (I am not doing the precise math here).

But, won't the cap be going down again in a couple years after the next lock out???

His pts don’t jump out whatsoever. +/- doesn’t either really

Who the hell knows. It seems like they cater to about 25% of the teams that don't want to spend the money, while everyone else immediately tries to find away to circumvent the CBA (whatever they end up negotiating).

I think the most stark example is how most clubs don't even bother to exercise the leverage they have over RFAs anymore.
