Trouba remains unsigned ahead of Thursday's season opener against the visiting Hurricanes, TSN's Bob McKenzie reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba, a restricted free agent, is seeking a larger role with the Jets than he had last season, when he averaged just over 22 minutes of ice time over 81 games. With the new NHL season looming, other notable restricted free agents like Calgary's Johnny Gaudreau and Nikita Kucherov's of the Bolts are letting the ink dry on newly signed contracts, which has many a hockey fan turning their attention to unsigned defenders like Trouba and Rasmus Ristolainen, to name a few. Be prepared to sit Trouba in fantasy land in case he doesn't reach a new deal quickly.
