Really? Morrissey seems to be the weakest link on D for Jets.. Trouba the most consistent...
I didnt watch much of Jets during regular season but some plays from Morrissey are cringe worthy..

I’ve watched the team all season. Morrissey is much better in his own zone. This post is the only thing that is cringe worthy.

What's the cost of Trouba to LA?
Pretty much anything is on the table other than Vilardi and Kempe.

You don’t have to say this, it’s incredibly obvious from your post

Not every Defensmen has to score...
I mean maybe Morrissey isn’t throwing bodies around all over the place like Buff or scoring like him, but he is making blocks, causing turnovers and chechking the Offence extremely well thus far in the playoffs.

I kind of doubt you’ve been watching the playoffs if that’s your opinion. Or you just have a terrible understanding of hockey

He is getting the job done i guess but doesnt come across as a cerebral player but looks like someone in over his head and trying too hard.
You guys expect him to get a 5.5M+ per contract? Trouba is gonna get that easy.

If you believe this and aren't actually trying to illicit a reaction then you're simply 100% incorrect. Don't ask Jets fans, if watching doesn't give you the accurate answer, seek out comments from coaches and other players.

If you ask Minny's coach, taking Morrissey out of the game would've won Minny game 4.....

Anyone who watches the Jets play and understands hockey will find this laughable. It’s not quite as stupid as "I don’t think McDavid skates very well" or "I don’t think Bergeron is very good defensively" but It’s close.
Trouba has been the least consistent what are you talking about? Trouba had some of the most cringe-worthy plays from our back end (ie: the passes in front of the net directly to the Wild and in the earlier his puck handling was very sloppy). what plays are you referring to from Morrissey?
Morrissey's offense is coming along. He led the Jets D in Even strength scoring and was ranked 36th in the league in EV scoring (he doesnt play PP that much). I dont expect him to replace Buff's production of 50+ pts but he does have good offensive instincts, just hasn't had the opportunities on the PP yet which will boost his numbers. wouldnt surprise me if he flirts with 0.5 PPG.

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?
Funny thing is, I would describe them as the exact opposite.
Morrissey is Mr. Reliable and Trouba is all over the board.
Now in Troubas case, he has been injured a couple of times this year and that can throw guys off. I think that Trouba has a higher ceiling and has had a higher elevation of play when he's on his game but Morrissey has been consistently good.
If you look at these playoffs, Morrissey is the one making great plays in our own zone while Trouba has had a couple of INSANELY bad giveaways.
I think Trouba can be the better D-man but Morrissey is right there with him....just in different ways.

I prefer Trouba but it’s close. Both are outstanding defensively and very good offensively, but Trouba is more of a risk taker. He will take some chances to make a play and he has the talent to get it done, but it leads to the occasional glaring effort. Morrissey plays nearly error free hockey, zero risk perfect positioning never makes the same mistake twice but still has the skating, puckhandling and offensive instincts to be an impact player offensively.
Both tend to be under the radar due to lack of PowerPlay time and limited roles when they do get out there. Trouba in particular tends to be seriously underrated offensively. His 5v5 scoring rates over the last 2 years are top 5 in the NHL and he’s the only D-man in the top 10 who can legitimately be called great defensively.
Morrissey, with his low key game, is still more unnoticed which could translate into a better contract, but I get the sense there is a growing recognition for his game. If the Jets go deep the narrative on him by summer could be that he’s one of the best young D-men in the game which could raise his price. He would still be giving up 2 fewer UFA years than Trouba which brings his contract value down
Factoring in everything. IMO Trouba gets something like 7.0 – 7.5 over 7 years Morrissey gets ~6.0 over 7 years. I can see Trouba doing 4-6 years and taking a bit less, but he’d still be over 6.

Ok...let's talk Kopitar! Doughty is probably not the right Trouba trade with 1 year left.
I'm listening...what do you got for Kopitar? Doughty probably isn't the right trade with 1 year left.

Kopitars contract is way to expensive for the Jets going forward(unless Perreault and Little are involved in the move with Trouba for Kopitar)... but Kopitar between Laine and Ehlers( or Connor and Wheeler) would be something special, that Top 6 would be absolutely unstoppable.
