I could see Colorado making a run at him via offer sheet. Pushes up the Jets salaries and they may pry him out. I guess it depends what kind of relationship the GM has with Chevy. You don't make friends with offer sheets!
If not Colorado, I could see another club taking a gamble on him. Maybe even to push through a trade.

I find it interesting that he does not favour bridge deals, considering how much he's been praised in the past for the bridge deals he signs.
In this case though, the bridge deal favours Trouba, where as a long-term, realistic deal would probably favour the Jets.
I assume the Jets will match any offer sheet but it will make him hard to trade if a big one comes in. Match is one thing, match and retain is another.

I wonder if Chevy is suggesting that the rumours came from Trouba's camp?
I think they are, not necessarily because he wants to be traded, but because they're pushing for a deal to be done.

Chevy to have a presser today at noon. General media Q&A or something interesting?
Last media availability prior to the draft.
I expect a lot of nothing.
"Contract talks ongoing..."
"Always talking to other GMs across the league..."
Rinse. Repeat.

The Ducks are expected to name Randy Carlyle as their new head coach on Tuesday, according to TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger.
Good news for everyone in the Pacific but Anaheim.

Chevy knows how to play hardball...just ask Kaner or Ladd.
He overpaid Kane.
And, if all the rumours are true, he tried really hard to overpay Ladd.

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned about the game day experience but...
Who's idea was it to get the t-shirt cannon? And, when deciding on which t-shirt cannon to get, why did they decide on the Brian Brohm T-Shirt Cannon 2000? Sprays all over but gets nothing near it's intended target.

He's a winger.
D'uh, you're right. Not sure why he was in my head as a centre. I can even envision him taking face-offs.
I could definitely see CBJ trading down then, to grab Brown.
-
If CBJ does not take Poolparty, I'll be shocked. He's a top prospect centre they need. If they decide Puljarvvvvyyy is not the best pick, they'll trade down, I imagine.

Just don't see how Trouba can justify asking for more than Reilly? Six years at $5 mill AAV is the going rate...
Maata at $4m for 6 was a bit of a deal imo...
He may feel he's been held back by Stuart.

If it's 5 or 6 million jets match. 7 or more they take the 4 first round picks. Offer sheet unlikely
If it's 5 or 6 million, he won't sign it. I think he's looking for 7M, long term.
1st, 2nd and 3rd round pick, if it's under $7.3M. Has it changed for 2016?

What was up with Dressler? Didn't notice him take any snaps last night.
Still nursing an injury (quad). He dressed to hold for Medlock.

Trouba won't be traded and he won't be signed any time soon either........he will sign just before or just after TC starts.
He'll want a contract before playing for Team North America. Plus, I think he's a likely target for an offer sheet.

He is on an ELC so Chevy will wait like he did with Bogo and Kaner.
I think it's more likely Trouba gets an offer sheet. That will throw a wrench into any negotiations.

We also have roundabouts. Or "calming circles". Never heard that term until this thread.
Calming circles and roundabouts are two different things.

I'm unclear how the neg list works for released players.
Is he automatically on our neg list because we drafted him, so when he leaves Western (assuming he's going back), we can try to sign or trade him?
