That is a very decent offer for Trouba. The other one Ive seen on here that I liked was Trouba to PHI for Frost, Gudas and a second. Shattenkirk at 3 million for 2 years is way better option than Gudas but Frost is more enticing than the 20th overall this year. Hmmm

Way too low of an offer for Trouba to re-sign. Think 6-8 years and 8.0M - 9.5M depending on term. Why would Trouba agree to a sign-and-trade? Jets unlike the Sens will make the playoffs. Beyond that

negotiating a long term deal while a RFA means:
1)less teams can enter the bidding (due to needing assets plus cap room to negotiate vs simply cap room) which means less money
2)he doesn't get the benefit of a rising salary cap in the 20-21 season which means less money
3)he doesn't get the benefit of more teams having more money due to expiring contracts in June 2020 which again means less money
4)he doesn't have final say in where he goes...Jets management still does
5)he does Jets management a favor on his way out the door (after they played hardball and had him sit into the 2016 season, took him to arbitration in 2018, and are openly shopping him now).

I get why the Jets want a sign-and-trade deal...I just don't get why Trouba does? It's better for him to sign a 1 year offer sheet and get to UFA while taking out an insurance policy guarding against injury risk.

May be worth buying out smith rather than burying him in AHL, it saves $3M this year and some of that $ can be given to Trouba as a bigger enticement for him to sign long term.

nobody is going to trade for him if it isnt a sign and trade and he doesnt want to be in wpg anymore, thats why.

You can be sure Shattenkirk' highly restrictive NTC includes Winnipeg.

That's exactly why he''s going to be stuck in Winnipeg until UFA. Just like the Blue Jackets were stuck with their 2 soon to be UFA's this year.

for sure

The Jets were forced to dump him for 1 year rental price. I called that. Rangers traded for him as a 1 year rental---that's why there were no conditional picks attached.

3rd pairing d-man and their own pick back. Now it becomes the Rangers problem to sign him. Agent said they would open up talks later this week. If there were no conditional picks attached to the trade that's worry some for the Rangers.

Trouba, Jacob 6 x $6,650,000

Somehow I doubt that gets his signature. But time will tell.
