Scheifele says Jets players didn’t see Trouba’s trade request coming
WINNIPEG — Mark Scheifele had a feeling something might be up with teammate Jacob Trouba, but he was surprised to learn the young Winnipeg Jets defenceman has asked to be traded.
“Obviously, talking to him you get a sense, but you definitely didn’t know that was happening. I don’t think any of us did,” Scheifele said Monday after his session at training camp.
“But for the most part, obviously you hope the best for Jacob and you hope the best for the Winnipeg Jets as well.”
Scheifele, Blake Wheeler, Dustin Byfuglien and rookie forward Patrik Laine were attending their first day of camp after returning from playing in the World Cup of Hockey.
