Winnipeg Jets: Jacob Trouba Situation Intensifying

Whether the Winnipeg Jets like it or not, Jacob Trouba doesn’t want to be in Winnipeg. Whether his agent’s reasoning is the reality or not, they have to make a move.
Jacob Trouba’s agent has continued to preach throughout the week that his player could care less about money, but needs to be in an environment where he can succeed as a “right-shot defenseman”.

Has this forced the Jets to trade him?

That’s a tough question to answer. Although Trouba wants a trade, the Jets don’t. They will try to wait out his emotions if they can, but if they can’t, a trade might be imminent.
