As the Winnipeg Jets play on, defenseman Jacob Trouba awaits a solution to his trade demand stalemate.

In order for the 22-year-old to be eligible this season, Trouba must be dealt before Dec. 1, a seemingly imposing deadline.

Apparently not for his agent, Kurt Overhardt.

"There's obviously a lot of time between now and then, Overhardt told The Winnipeg Free Press. "We’re going to continue to keep working in good faith and try helping to facilitate a positive transaction so everyone can benefit.

"It's not really an issue at this point."

While nothing substantial has developed on the trade front, Overhardt iterated that confidential negotiations between his client and the Jets are ongoing.

"We have to contemplate everything, but it’s not something we are going to discuss as it involves our client and it’s a private matter," Overhardt said. "Any of the conversations we have with (the Jets) are very amicable and those are private, too."
