My counter argument would be this: Does Jacob Trouba want to stay in Philly long term? I get the whole 'Murica point, but if not, and there's no extension included, what's the point of Philly doing this? Yes, Trouba is an upgrade. But does Philly send a young guy who's already playing those top pair minutes, who could very well develop into an almost-as-good player, over for 1 year of Trouba? He probably ends up being very well paid as a UFA, signing in whatever market he chooses.
