Trouba's ask...
I love Trouba, but he has been too banged up for my liking.
He's put together more than 70 games in a season once in his career.

Admittedly, I'm probably not as in love with Trouba as some, but I like him.
But durability is a major concern for me, as well as how said durability will translate as he gets older and the mileage adds up.
I know it was totally wrong but him basically attacking Holtby during a line brawl was so ridiculous it was hilarious. I still remember getting the text from my friend at the game that the Philly media awarded him the game's third star. Guy was a troubled soul and I just hope he is finally at peace.Ray Emery smiling when Peters came over and grabbed him is something I don't think I'll ever forget. The guy had his off-ice issues, but that is a horrible fate for anyone and far, far too young.

He was getting plenty of hard matchups (particularly in the second half of the season) and he only kept getting better. The only thing that might effect him is the off ice pressure because he's basically the face of the franchise and after games he's the guy all the reporters are going to flock to. And I'll also note that Lee and Bailey were not products of pajama boy, in fact for large stretches of the season both of them were doing more to drive the line than PJB.Yeah I'm interested to see how Barzal performs. He's a great player, but I want to see him replicate his production now that he's "the guy" there. He'll obviously get more minutes and opportunities, but he'll definitely be facing tougher match-ups. Should be interesting so see how it works.
And he’ll be getting suspended left and right since the league finally cottoned on to him in the pens series. He’ll have to stop headshotting or be gone. Either way he’ll be less effective going no forward.That is an ugly contract for someone that never put up more than 35pts.
