Jacob Trouba will earn $5.5 million next season with the Winnipeg Jets after an arbitrator broke a contract stalemate Sunday between the organization and their top-pairing defenceman.
With the parties unable to agree on a long-term extension, outside help was required. Trouba requested $7 million through his arbitration filings, while the Jets countered with a $4 million offer.
Arguments were heard Friday morning in Toronto in a marathon hearing that began at 9 a.m. local time and didn't wrap up until close to 2:30 p.
