The Winnipeg Jets Need To Keep Jacob Trouba

09/30/2016 at 12:11pm EDT

from Ted Wyman of the Winnipeg Sun,

If I’m the Winnipeg Jets, I’m not trading Jacob Trouba just because he wants out.

There’s simply too much on the line.

Winnipeg is a small market and not a particularly desirable one for NHL players with many attractive options.

The Jets are a draft and develop team because they have to be to have any hope of being successful. It’s imperative they hold on to the assets they acquire through the draft.

To have a 22-year-old player with three seasons under his belt demand a trade because he’s unhappy is a terrible sign.

To cave to that player would be even worse.
