After sitting out training camp and the Winnipeg Jets' first 13 games of the season amid a trade demand, restricted free agent defenseman Jacob Trouba has re-signed with the club. Trouba inked a two-year bridge deal with an annual average of $3 million.
Trouba and agent Kurt Overhardt had been adamant that they would hold firm to the trade demand, citing the team's plans to have the right-handed Trouba play on the left side. His desire was to play on the right, but Winnipeg already have Dustin Byfuglien and Tyler Myers, who is currently injured, on the right in their top four.
