Contract issue 'two-way street': Trouba

Jacob Trouba knew what was coming.

“Do you want me to just answer the question now?” Trouba asked with a smile as he stood before the media a day after the Winnipeg Jets’ season ended.

The 23-year-old defenceman went through a contentious contract negotiation in the fall and missed the first 15 games of the season.

Upon returning, he had a breakout season and became the Jets most reliable blue-liner.

So, of course, the big question Sunday was: Do you want to stay in Winnipeg?
