Take out Stanley and push the pick up.

Trouba doesn't want to sign long term with the Jets, why would he want to sign long term with the Habs.

Perhaps he can be convinced that playing alongside Shea Weber and in front of Carey Price, and with the great young forward talent on hand and coming, the future would be good. Also, he could command more money in Montreal due to his role than elsewhere.

I don't know if it would be convincing enough, but the team should try.

Trouba isn't leaving Winnipeg for Montreal he wants to play in the Eastern US. He'll come home to Detroit before he goes to Montreal. Or i see him either in Tampa or with the Panthers.

Yeah i'm sure Trouba is dying to play alongside Weber, First off both are RD and there's no way Trouba is going to Montreal to play LD his off side. When he's already been complaining about it there in Winnipeg. Montreal like Detroit has tons of issues and no way Trouba wants to play there.

Jeezus, I didn't mean literally beside him, though perhaps on the PP.

Fat chance of Petry waiving for Winnipeg, He chose Montreal because it's close to his Michigan home. Winnipeg not so much. Zero chance of Trouba playing in Montreal.
