On Jacob Trouba’s trade request …
Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet: Jacob Trouba’s agent, Kurt Overhardt, released a statement saying that his client as requested a trade from the Winnipeg Jets.
“Our client, Jacob Trouba, will not be attending the Winnipeg Jets NHL training camp. Since May, we have been working with the Jets management in an effort to facilitate a trade of Jacob’s rights. Both parties continue to work on this matter.
There has been no negotiation regarding the terms of a contract between our client and the Jets over the course of the last several months. The situation is not about money; it is solely about our client having the opportunity to realize his potential as a right shot NHL defenseman.
To the Jets credit, the club has two outstanding right shot veteran defensemen and our client simply wants the opportunity to have a greater role. As a consequence of the Jets depth on the right side, we believe it is in both parties’ best interest to facilitate a mutually advantageous trade.
Our client has nothing but respect for the people and City of Winnipeg, the Winnipeg Jets, its fans, management and ownership – our desire to get him moved has everything to do with opportunity. We will continue to work with the Jets in good faith to achieve this end.”

Trouba update.
Its early, but so far, besides the Islanders, I have heard Dallas, NJ, Montreal, Columbus and Boston all could be in on Trouba So far the Leafs and Kings are NOT. However, things can change...Some teams appear to like Fowler over Trouba, so that is tied into this.
