The Winnipeg Jets have had Jacob Trouba for six seasons, now. He’s shown that while he is prone to a minor injury here and there, he’s a steady defenseman.
He’s young, still just 25, and just blew past his previous career high of 33 points to post a 50 point season. Seems like exactly the type of player the Jets would want, no?
And yet the end of this marriage seems inevitable, as now Trouba has gained RFA status for a third time. He’s been at the center of trade rumors for several years now, and they’re not fading away this offseason.
