As defenseman Jacob Trouba awaits his next contract, that hasn't stopped the Winnipeg Jets faithful from getting in a few digs of their own.

Versus the Boston Bruins on Monday, a fan was shown with a clever sign reading, "I made more (money) than Trouba this week."

The restricted free agent remains unsigned, as he hopes for a trade out of the Manitoba capital. Trouba must sign by Dec. 1 in order to play this season.

According his agent, Trouba seeks an opportunity where he can play top minutes on the right-hand side - something that isn't available in Winnipeg behind Dustin Byfuglien and Tyler Myers.

Trouba, 22, scored six goals and 15 assists last season.
