Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba requests trade
Trouba's agent, Kurt Overhardt, released a statement Saturday saying that the 22-year-old American defender wants an opportunity to play somewhere else, citing Winnipeg's logjam at the position.
Since May, we have been working with the Jets management in an effort to facilitate a trade of Jacob's rights.
The Jets drafted the Michigan native ninth overall in 2012, and he has 23 goals and 49 assists in 211 regular-season games.
Kevin Cheveldayoff, the Jets' executive vice president and general manager, acknowledged Overhardt's statement and says that anything that is done in the near future will be what's best for his club.
