Note II: Today's news was going to be all about Jacob Trouba trade speculation but that speculation was removed late last night when the team announced they had traded their 2012 1st round pick (9th overall) to the New York Rangers.

I think what fans in Winnipeg took personally with Keith Tkachuk was the offer sheet he signed with the Blackhawks which the Jets matched.
