I guess being a top defensemen on Gold medal winning Olympic teams, two Stanley Cup winning teams, a Norris Trophy and multiple Norris Trophy nominations and consistently being one of the top defensemen and ice time leaders year after year is something I must’ve imagined Doughty doing.
All that is just incremental to Trouba’s accomplishments, right?
So you just don't want to look at the stats or you did and you realize they don't say what you want them to say? You can spout off about things that happened once upon a time, but we're talking about the value of what's likely to happen in future. Resumes don't mean much at all. I can't win last year's cup. Keeping in mind that you're talking about Trouba + 30g 30a rookie season, top 10 all-time rookie NCAA scoring Kyle Connor (with a plus on top!) and not just (cheaper and way younger than Doughty) Trouba on his own, it's interesting that Tableau head to heads give Trouba a
slight edge over Doughty overall for 2017-18 + 2018-19.
I wanna win right now. I'd be willing to give you more than Doughty is worth. I'm just not willing to give you the price for Doughty + Carter, not get Carter, get older, AND take on cap!
I'm probably being unreasonable in saying you're being unreasonable.
Also, I'm not sure you know what 'incremental' means, because that's not how you use it.
