A picture hangs in Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoffs office capturing the moment he drafted Jacob Trouba. Four years later, it looked like Troubas time in Winnipeg might be over.Trouba asked for a trade and sat out the first 13 games of the season, but on Monday the defenseman agreed to terms on a $6 million, two-year contract that ended the months-long stalemate. The restricted free agent will count $3 million against the salary cap for the remainder of this season and next, a bargain even on a short-term deal.No matter the value, getting something done before the Dec. 1 deadline for Trouba to play this season was a crucial step for the Jets.Id be lying if I had said if it certainly wasnt a trying and difficult time from my perspective because Jacob means a great deal to our organization, Cheveldayoff said on a conference call. Were very excited about this announcement and moving forward, putting whatever happened or was said or done behind us.The right-handed-shooting Trouba asked for a trade because he wanted to play top-pairing minutes on the right side. The Jets have All-Star right-shot defenseman Dustin Byfuglien signed through 2021, which blocks Troubas path.It wasnt immediately clear if Trouba softened his stance about his role, but Cheveldayoff said this deal wasnt made to immediately turn around and trade him.Hes certainly signed to play for the Winnipeg Jets, Cheveldayoff said.Trouba will make a pro-rated $2.5 million this season and $3.5 million in 2017-18. Cheveldayoff said the 22-year-old could join the team as soon as Tuesday, but thats pending immigration paperwork.In 211 NHL games, Trouba has 23 goals and 49 assists for 72 points. Hes eligible to sign a contract extension July 1, though Cheveldayoff wasnt ready to talk about whether hell talk about a long-term deal with Trouba this summer.The inks just drying on this contract here, so lets let everything play itself out as it goes, Cheveldayoff said. Obviously theres lots of different options that are available from the contractual standpoint.The Rochester, Michigan, native was the ninth pick in the 2012 draft and is considered one of the better developing blue-line prospects in hockey. He averaged over 22 minutes a game last season and played for Team North America at the World Cup of Hockey in September.Cheveldayoff met with Trouba and agent Kurt Overhardt in Detroit last week and said negotiations were always professional. Cheveldayoff said Trouba never had a problem with playing in Winnipeg or for another Canadian team, despite reports suggesting that.The Jets had significant leverage because they owned his rights, but Troubas absence and an injury to defenseman Tyler Myers tested the teams depth.Those are big holes to fill, Cheveldayoff said. Getting Jacob back, once he rounds into form here, I think thatll certainly help us to continue to improve.---Follow Stephen Whyno on Twitter at http://www.twitter.com/SWhyno .

BRUGES, Belgium -- Leicester opened its first Champions League campaign with a comfortable 3-0 victory at Belgian champion Club Brugge on Wednesday, with Riyad Mahrez scoring twice.The unlikely English Premier League champion took its charmed form into Europe, with Marc Albrighton scoring an easy goal after just five minutes. The Brugge defense misjudged a long throw-in and the winger only had to steer the ball into an empty net.A bad pass forced veteran Timmy Simons to bring Jamie Vardy down near the penalty box in the 28th minute and Mahrez curled the free kick home to make the rest of the Group G match a stroll for Leicester.Mahrez scored his second goal from the penalty spot in the 61st minute, after Vardy had been floored by the goalkeeper on a breakaway.With the Belgian champion offering little ressistance, it proved an easy night for Leicester, and a perfect respite from its Premier League troubles, where it has already lost twice in four games.ddddddddddddOn Wednesday, the nerves were all for Bruges, which also had a bad start following its championship season, lingering in 10th place after six matches.Add the difference in quality between the English and Belgian leagues, and Leicester ran away with the match.
