"not my favourite, but whatever helps the team" stuff.... 'twas quite the far cry from the statement proclaiming Wpg to be holding back his career b/c Buff & Myers were ahead on the right side depth chart. Sept.15, 2016 http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/sports/hockey/jets/trouba-talks-contract-expects-to-be-in-jets-lineup-opening-night-393553661.html Quote But don’t panic, Jets fans, because Trouba does not sound like a guy readying for an imminent holdout when I ask him the only question that really matters right now: Is there any doubt in his mind he will be in the Jets lineup when they open their regular season next month? "Not in my mind," Trouba told me here at Consol Energy Center Wednesday night following North America’s 3-2 loss to the Czech Republic in what was the final pre-tournament game for both teams at the World Cup of Hockey. Quote Here’s what Trouba had to say on the issue when I asked him about it Wednesday evening. "I want to have a bigger role," said Trouba. "I want to be a force — more productive offensively and defensively. "I just want to be more involved and take my game to the next level." And the whole right-side, left-side issue on a team in which both Byfuglien and Tyler Myers are also right-handed shots? "I’ve played the right-side my whole life," said Trouba. "I’m obviously more comfortable there. But I understand you have to do what’s best for your team." Sept.24, 2016 http://www.winnipegsun.com/2016/09/24/trouba-asks-for-trade-from-jets Quote Kurt Overhardt, Trouba's agent, fired the first shot on Saturday night – making his first public statement in quite some time in the form of a press release. It was pleasant and straightforward in nature, pointing out Trouba wasn't going to report to training camp and noting his client had asked for a trade in May. Quote “I didn't want it to get to this point,” Trouba said in a telephone interview on Saturday night. “I wanted to keep everything out of the media and keep it professional. Now that we're here, what it really comes down to for me is opportunity.” Edited May 23, 2017 by Jimmy Pop stupid World Cup of Hockey was stupid, & so am I.

The Unknown Poster Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Two Jets on the list. Gennaro and Karlstrom. Seems the expectation is Jets will sign Gennaro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gennaro is looking like a pretty damn good prospect for a 7th-round pick. He had a great year with the hitmen. The Unknown Poster 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Unknown Poster Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 Yup here's a good story about him: https://www.nhl.com/jets/news/matteo-gennaro-finds-his-groove/c-287942142 Has some offensive upside. Could be a solid 3LW. Couple years with the Moose and who knows. He's 20, would the thought be he'd be signed and play for the Moose this season or can he go back to the Hitmen?

Knowing the Jets, I cant see them framing a discussion as "we dont want you". But offering him an extension might entice him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Unknown Poster Posted May 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Now I get it The Vegas Golden Knights and Chicago Blackhawks could be working out a deal ahead of the expansion draft in June. TSN Senior Hockey Reporter Frank Seravalli reports the Blackhawks could allow the Golden Knights to select Trevor van Riemsdyk in the expansion draft, on the condition Vegas also takes forward Marcus Kruger in a trade.

They've technically been able to do so since the Mar. 1st trade deadline, IIRC. Their first actual player signing was on Mar. 6th: https://www.reviewjournal.com/sports/golden-knights-nhl/golden-knights-make-first-ever-player-transaction/ Quote The Golden Knights made history Monday with their first-ever player transaction when they signed Duke, a junior free agent center, to a three-year entry level contract.
