I think we would have made out well getting two rolls of tape and a bag of pucks for PLD...

Yet he is playing well with Washington this year....i guess those cold Californian winter's got to him.

It's also interesting that Trouba and Kreider are potentially on the trade market.  I'd love to have Trouba back, but not at the 8M cap hit.

Trouba at 50 percent for Barlow and a 2nd 2026. Rags would prob do it. They want him gone. Putting their (kreider) names out there means just a matter of time.

Two rolls is generous

Has anything changed with Trouba’s wife?  Would she want to work here?  Like it or not, it’s a big part of the equation for any reunion.

We're just reminiscing how great it was to have him here, and if Byfuglien hadn't screwed us over, we would have been able to keep Trouba.   I honestly don't think he'll be back ever.   But it is nice to dream of a reunion.

Realistically I think she’s done her stuff this year so maybe but I don’t think they will trade for trouba. If he’s willing tho and rags eat part of the salary reuniting him with Josh would be good for the Jets. Makes us better.

Idk he has lost a couple of steps, no where the impact player he was. I don't see Chevy bringing him back after the way he left....

Not sure what happened to the Jets on that Florida road trip but man they're not the same club that started the season so hot. 

So, you expected the Jets to go 72-7-5???

Trouba can go.....

I thought the issue with Trouba was his drug problems off the ice and his family wanting him closer to home so they can keep an eye on him?     I'd assume the Jets wouldn't want anyone with a history or character issues.

There was no drug problems with him. His wife’s medical residency was the issue. She had to do it in the USA. Just believe everything on the internet?

Just like the internet made up all of the Evander Kane issues.

This was Bogosian I think... I think there were a lot of rumours that he, uhhh, liked to go skiing......

I don't think he screwed us over with anything. He decided that him, his family and his interests outside hockey were now priority number 1 for him, he followed thru on it and by all accounts is living his life for who are important to him. I respect that.

Buff did the smartest thing a guy could do, given his situation. He is living my dream life.

He left money and popularity as a professional athlete on the table to hold true to his convictions.

Respect.

And Bogosians room-mate was Jacob Trouba during that time.

Bogo was not a good influence on young trouba. That’s a fact but the reason for his trade was 100 percent wife/ gf at the time related. But the reality with the powder is they all do it, ok not all but young guys with millions do.

He still comes out to the south basin.  Those American ice fishers are a key part of the local economy.  I am sure they keep several hotels and motels in business

The LC's don't mind them either. 😁

With all that said I doubt we’d take him back at his current rate. Rags eat half? You’d be on cocaine not to reunite trouba and Josh if it’s possible. Trouba showed up in the playoffs. We lack grit. He brings it. Makes our D so much better. Healthy. Trouba Josh. Pionk samberg. Demelo. Chose an LHD.

Someone must be on some serious mind altering stuff to even suggest Trouba would be a good fit here.....

I don't know JT personally but what I do know is anyone who works for the Winnipeg Jets is probably not on cocaine if they do some heads down concentrated assessments of what kind of dynamics (out side of pure physical hockey skills) JT would bring to the table that that could possibly facilitate or hinder the success of the current status of our hockey club.

Multiple jets were on cocaine and some likely still do use it. It’s as common as alcohol. But I don’t think trouba at this point with wife and kid is anymore. I don’t see him as a bad influence. I see him as growing up with a bunch of our core guys like Josh and 55 to name 2. 55 and trouba are bffs
