Aside from the NHLPA accusing the league of collusion...probably nothing stops him from doing that. But even if Trouba signs with another team and Winnipeg matches, he can just sit out until he's traded and now he'd have a falsely inflated contract that would make him even harder to trade.
On a side note, are offer sheets still allowed or has a deadline on them passed already?
