There were hugs and handshakes — and no obvious hard feelings — as Jacob Trouba returned to the Winnipeg Jets Tuesday morning.
Trouba was on the ice for the morning skate, less than 24 hours after the young defenceman signed a two-year deal to end his contract stalemate and return to the team that drafted him. And while Trouba won't be making his season debut when the Jets take on the Dallas Stars at MTS Centre tonight, he was certainly the centre of attention.
"I want to play hockey. I'm a hockey player," Trouba said matter-of-factly when asked what changed in his dispute with the team.
