Deal sees ARZ have a solidified young top pair of OEL/Trouba. ARZ won't care what Trouba will want next year especially with how weak they are down the right side of their D-core and how solid they are on the left. Winnipeg needs to get value on Trouba and getting a young (albeit) LHD is probably as good as they can do. It will also give them flexibility to move a LHD in the future to address other needs when Niku, Samberg, and Stanley are ready to play in the NHL.
Chayka being an analytics guru will absolutely love the idea of getting trouba based on his advanced analytics and though winnipeg doesn't want to move Trouba and would prefer to sign him long term, it's pretty obvious they either move him now or have a diminishing asset that likely leaves in FA in 2 years.

Winnipegs D-core is still solid however they'll need to address the RHD situation as Buff is getting older and Myers is up next year but they will remain competitive and not have the Trouba distraction anymore.

The deal also gives WPG the CAP flexibility they'll need for Laine, Connor, Wheeler extensions the following year.
