Rumor: Jets shopping Trouba

[BHFAN92]

Trouba to Blackhawks for Gustafsson and prospect Ian Mitchell-D

When Trouba was Hronek's age he actually had put up 51 points in 130 games the previous two seasons

And? Trouba apparently wasn't progressing much offensively at that point in his career if Hronek was able to outscore him in like 35 less games at age 21. Is it somehow a good thing that a guy with 2 years of experience is outscored by a guy with no experience?

 

[obey86]

So he had actually proven himself as an NHL quality player and wasn't being projected as a top Dman due to a tiny sample size?

Damn.

Yes, he had proven he couldn't outscore a rookie defensemen despite playing 35 more games and having 2 years more of experience.

What's the deal with Gustafsson anyways? I never heard of the guy before this year and statistically he looked pretty average (statistically anyways) in the AHL despite being an older guy. Then he comes out and puts up 60 points on a below average team.

Is he really that good or was it fluke? Serious question, asking the people who have actually watched him play.

 

[TS Quint]

Yeah, and Kucherov outscored McDavid the same way he did Luke Glendening, since we want to make foolish comments.

Or we can both continue to cherry pick. But whatever makes you feel good. What the list of winners for those awards shows is it doesn’t mean a ton. I mean, good for Hronek, it’s a great accomplishment but let’s not pretend it makes him Josi.

 

[MardyBum]

He may not have that option, but that doesn't mean teams aren't gonna ask if he's interested in signing with them before they send a **** ton of assets.

So he's a 1 year rental available to every team in the league at a cap hit of probably around 7.

That'll get more than Cliff Pu and a second.

Why do you care so much about a player you think is such garbage? Just trolling?

I don't think Hronek or Trouba are garbage. So not sure who you're talking about?
