It Doesn't Make Sense To Trade Jacob Trouba Now

11/07/2016 at 5:35pm EST

from Bob McKenzie tweets,

I must be a dummy because I don't see how Trouba signing two-year bridge deal with $3M AAV makes him more likely to be traded now.

I don't see how that changes now that he signed. For any team acquiring Trouba, I never expected signing him was a big impediment to trade.

Any team that would've traded for him could've leveraged same bridge deal he did with WPG. If anything, Trouba may cost more down road now.

That said, having JT singed allows WPG to possibly trade on its timetable. If WPG was really intent on moving him, woulda been done already.
