The Winnipeg Jets and restricted free agent Jacob Trouba have quite the distance to cover in contract negotiations.

Both sides are apparently far apart on money, term, and usage, reported TSN's Gary Lawless on "That's Hockey" on Tuesday.

Lawless explained that, in addition from wanting a more lucrative contract, Trouba would like to see more time on a top-two defense pairing, and more power-play time.

The 22-year-old is coming off his entry-level contract and had career-lows with 21 points and 22:04 minutes of ice time last season. He also averaged 1:17 of power-play ice time, fourth among Jets blueliners.

Trouba was drafted ninth overall in 2012 and, despite contract negotiations not going smoothly, general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff made it clear in June he's not looking to trade Trouba.
