Approaching the 10th game! Go Chevy Go! Or rather: please let him sit for a long, long time... He'll cave, Trouba that is! |

With Hampus signing I believe he is officially the only RFA not to have signed.

So is he saying that he simply wants out of Canada not just Winnipeg? If so Canadian teams will have to look more into this when drafting.

TSN reported that other Canadian teams made a pitch for him and Over basically stated non of them were the right fit either, i.e., he doesn't want to play in Canada.

If this is really true then he can just rot as far as I'm concerned. 22 years old staring at 5+million/year....he should be happy he's got the talent to command that kind of generational money.

I'm starting to wonder what the real story behind all this is. I wonder if it's a tax issue. I recall Housley wanted out for that reason.
None of this is really making any sense. Thank god we have Chevy to deal with this!

Not a crazy long read....and I must say a pretty convincing article. I just wonder if the fences can all be repaired? So much talk in the media about this, most of which has been quite negative towards Trouba ( myself included ). I know it's "just business" but still.... |

Hearing all this, I've now sort of changed my view. I still want Chevy to take the right deal when it comes. That'll never change. Now...I just hope that deal doesn't come until Dec 2nd.

I had to torture myself and listen to Westwood who lacks any hockey knowledge at all on the radio this morning...basically he says Trouba does not care what Canadians think as he will not be playing in Canada...WRONG as usual...Trouba WILL be playing when and where the Jets tell him and that may well be here or in Canada so Trouba SHOULD care in case the Jets do not get a trade with a US team that we think is fair...Trouba is digging a hole so deep for himself right now that he may never get out and if he does he may be working construction to make ends meet...patience is a virtue Chevy so hold on for as long as it takes!!!! and the link to the article i posted was before the Trouba camp came out and said I hate Canada...how stupid can any agent be?

Yep. I'm all for Chevy patience here. Chevy? Take your time!! We've got your back. Don't listen to Lawless who was going on and on and even trying to suggest it was anything but what we all know is the issue - anywhere but Canada. Don't let the record or the whining press suggesting that a losing record will get the fans all anxious and upset about not doing something about Trouba. Here. Take a pina colada and sit back:  |

Would the team really want him back if he agrees to sign for 6x5.25? Even if there is an understanding that Chevy will trade him as soon as the right offer comes along and move him back to the USA, why have a malcontent on the team?
