"UFA's come and go all the time" .....that's hilarious.
So GM's should just be ok with 25 year old #1 D just walking out the door for nothing?
sorry if haven't been following pro sports. here's a lesson. what every year there are about 3 UFAs per team....that as July 1 are UFAs. every TDL, teams trade futures to get that one or two upcoming ufas, that will put them over the top for a long playoff run. there are not 80 trades of upcoming ufas, because teams are so desperately crazy to trade all the ufa, before they "walk for nothing". gee, they would likely all be ufas even if they traded so there are always ufas...walking.
so my logic is valid. come winter 2020 and the jets are on a cup run and trouba is valuable member of the team, yea, he likely doesn't get traded.
now my opinion is that trouba's trade value will never be higher than it is now...summer of 2018, and I expect trouba will be traded this summer.
I know of a site like this, so many uninformed think they have to make trades...for trade value. but teams are still trying to win and don't necessarily play GM just to make trades so ufas don't walk for free. for you to think otherwise, now that's hilarious.
