[Randy Randerson]

Rielly was better this year, Trouba last year. It's close, I'll go with Rielly for the sake of recency, won't be surprised if it flips next year again

 

[tony d]

Went with Trouba.

 

[tacogeoff]

Still Trouba and always has been Trouba.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

This will turn into a shit show between WPG and leaf fans

 

[WingsOverAvs]

Trouba though I have some marginal attitude concerns

 

[Morgs]

Trouba is better defensively, Rielly better offensively.

Two great, up and coming #1s and entirely a "pick your poison" type of scenario.

 

[LeafFever]

Rielly was clearly better this year.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Rielly was clearly better this year.

Judging defensemen by how many points they score is incredibly foolish.

Trouba is better and always has been

Trouba is better and always has been

That must be why he was ranked higher and drafted higher.

Rielly has always been better and always will be, hes also not a locker room cancer who whines about his minutes.

Every metric has Rielly as better than Trouba, and he doesnt get carried by Buff and a much better defensive core.

This should be Rielly by a reasonable margin, but its a leaf player so it will end up Trouba and LAINEC. Oh well, im sure we both will be happy with our guy.

Rielly has to be one of the more league wide underrated players because he’s so overrated by his own fanbase.

Trouba is a very often injured dman who plays less difficult minutes when compared with Rielly and has less production. He’s really good, but not as good as Rielly.

Rielly played very well defensively playing some of the toughest minutes in the entire NHL. We are not talking about a PP specialistw ho can't play D.

 

[Hockeyholic]

Wasn't impressed with Rielly in the postseason. Haven't liked what I've seen from Trouba either. They are both great # 2's.

 

[Snowman]

Rielly is not and never has been as good as Trouba. Trouba is a #1D man on the second best team in the NHL and excells. Rielly plays on the top pairing on an also ran team, but really should not be playing above a #3 spot as he does not have the defensive ability.

There's a reason Leafs fans start weekly threads begging for Trouba while you never see a thread where a Jets fan asks for Rielly.

Trouba AINEC.

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I'll go Trouba by a hair.

The AINEC comments are ridiculous.

Agreed. This is how I feel, though the both still have potential to be more due to age

 

[Apotheosis]

Rielly better offensively, made strides defensively. The flip side for Trouba. I take Rielly because he moves the puck better, but it's close regardless.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Rielly, and it's not particularly close at the moment either. By far better offensively, plays tougher minutes, and is able to stay healthy.

This thread says in a vacuum, and it's Rielly. When Trouba gets his new contract, it won't even be remotely close.

 

[Hunter368]

Trouba is better defensively, Rielly better offensively.

Two great, up and coming #1s and entirely a "pick your poison" type of scenario.

This....

Two very different types of D, ones offensively inclined and the other one defensively inclined & physical/nasty. Both great skaters.

Is there a option called “they’re equal”.

 

[Guffman]

Good question.

I wonder who would be better in a hair dryer.

That must be why he was ranked higher and drafted higher.

Rielly has always been better and always will be, hes also not a locker room cancer who whines about his minutes.

Every metric has Rielly as better than Trouba, and he doesnt get carried by Buff and a much better defensive core.

This should be Rielly by a reasonable margin, but its a leaf player so it will end up Trouba and LAINEC. Oh well, im sure we both will be happy with our guy.

So you've been in the jets locker room? And that has everything to do with who the better player is.

I'd love to see the evidence behind this claim. How would he get carried by buff if he never plays with him? If anything Trouba makes it easier for Buff because he takes the harder matchups.

Trouba.

Plays tough minutes, plays more PK, plays less OZ starts(more DZ starts 52% of his starts are in the DZ as Riellys are 51.1% in the OZ), less oiGA(per game as well), more oiGF per game, same 5v5 scoring per game(Trouba actually has a tad bit more but it’s basically one point differnt and again Trouba hardly even seen a stitch of PP this season so we can’t say the PP doesn’t have a big effect in this argument).

That being said there is no AINEC here, Rielly is Elite Offensively and a great PowerPlay QB, Trouba is just more effective defensively and can score 5v5 and doesn’t have PP minutes that he would have with other teams(due to the depth in talent on his current team).
