News Article: (Paywall) Jacob Trouba in CP's Top 25 Under 25 list

[garret9]

Corey Pronman has his top 25 under 25 published.

I do not always agree with CP but I always respect his point of view.

Trouba comes in at 19. Interestingly enough, Forsberg is at 18.

I can't stand how ESPN wants you to pay to read certain articles. This is why it's not my go-to sports site anymore.

Jacob is hanging out with some amazing talent. Not sure about Hampus Lindholm being left off the list? The only beef I have his with:

His puck movement isn't fantastic, but due to his feet and above-average instincts with the puck, he has the ability to create significant offense.

I think Jacob has good vision and passing skills but I guess the wording leaves a bit of room for interpretation? If and when Jacob makes a mistake it’s not because he doesn't possess all the skills its usually because he is a big too aggressive. Either way it’s a pretty big honor to be included with this group of piers.

Forsberg has been awesome, but I'll still take the top pairing D over the scoring winger and I will do it every time.

I completely agree.

Agree strongly with all aspects of this post.

Trouba is hampered by his partner.

You think he wants to move the puck to Stuart, after Stu sloppily throws it over to him?

I didn't look at the list, but it's obvious that Morgan Rielly is #1 right?

Nope, he's #2, Nylander is #1

I forgot. With Marner I guess in the mix.

Not one single leaf.

It is top 25 under 25 in the NHL after all.

Forsberg is a Center playing wing. Most likely Nashville's future #1C.
You can make a good argument for Trouba, but he has to take another big step here. His progression stagnated last year and a lot of young D have narrowed the gap.

Forsberg doesn't look like a #1 C to me. He plays the game like a scoring winger. Maybe he'll make the transition, but I wouldn't bet on it.

Isn't it bad enough that I have to argue against this ludicrous notion when people who are NOT watching Trouba say it?

No. Just no. A D-man who dragged Stuart to better shot metrics numbers than even prime Chara managed to do has NOT stagnated in his progression. Trouba was arguably our best D-man last year.

Stagnation by association? They really need to find Trouba a new partner. I think Morrissey might be adequate.

 

[sully1410]

So who is actually on the list?

Enstrom?

Trouba has the potential to be top 10,

he is hampered by Stuart, but i think only in a small part.

For me he is being held back because of

Byfgulien/Bogosian

now
Byfuglien/Myers

He is the 3rd wheel of the JETS RD deployment

which is good also, as he doesn't face the best of the best yet. But that take some of the points also against him as he needs to play against the best of the best in order to be considered top 10.

With Trouba developing in a true #1 D
Ehlers potential to be superstar scoring winger
Schiefele trajectory being one of the best 2 way center in the league
Hellybuyck potential franchise goalie in net

all is shaping up for 2019

Hoping for Trouba to get prime time minutes this year
