Player Discussion Jacob Trouba

[SingnBluesOnBroadway]

if we drafted Heinola HF would bitch and moan that our D is too small lmao

We drafted Lafreniere and HF is bitching and moaning...

Is recommend reading the posts that brought them up. It wasn’t me.

Ahh. My bad

Trouba skated ? Wasn’t it a broken finger so 4 weeks min?

Skated before practice....just to stay in shape and what not.

Sure hope he’s skating, it’s his thumb.

Al's Brother's top 7 dmen in Canada (this season)

I think the most frustrating part about hearing about the Pionk's and Stuetzle's of the world is that we don't actually get to play them this year.

They're putting up great numbers in the North division? Okay, let's see how it translates against the rest of the league.

FWIW, I think Pionk is legit a very good player now, but his numbers are getting a hell of a boost because of the complete ass teams he gets to see multiple times a week.

I don’t think enough people are taking into account just how much of a grind this division is. Top to Bottom this is a brutal division. Even the bad teams have talent. There’s no chance to go and beat up on inferior teams to get going.

Its a great measuring stick to see how we match up against better teams, but it’s very difficult to thrive.

Which is why I'm really excited for next year. The kids will be more experienced and the ice will open up against the other divisions.

It's much riskier holding on to him than getting rid of him, if possible. And if his contract is appropriate then it should be possible. Then replace him with someone who fits financially and can help stabilize the group. A Kevin Klein type. Ian Cole, Joel Edmundson, etc.

Gorton, if you're reading this...my services are available. +18 Joel Edmundson how are ya? +10 in 16 games Ian Cole HOW ARE YA? Jacob Trouba, get serious.

Trouba is like “enough already it’s healed, I’m going out”.

Would be good to have him back. Solidify things even more.

Lindgren Fox
Miller Trouba
Hajek Smith

 

[RGY]

So happy to have Jacob Trouba back.

So happy to have Jacob Trouba back.

He needs to earn a spot.

 

[egelband]

Is he actually playing tomorrow?

 

[FireGerardGallant]

He needs to earn a spot.

Earn it over who? Libor Hajek?? Hes the Rangers second best dman

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Imagine thinking Trouba has to "earn it"

If any of those guys could move the puck as well as trouba while providing tough D they’d have larger contracts themselves

 

[jay from jersey]

I don’t think it’s a coincidence that miller hasn’t looked as good without Trouba either

 

[RGY]

Imagine thinking Trouba has to "earn it"

Imagine being that delusional. But then again that guy has been quoting his own posts, having a conversation with himself

 

[Leetch3]

he's talking to the only person that takes him seriously

 

[aufheben]

I was profoundly shocked by this:

 

[duhmetreE]

He also tends to show up in our big games. Big Game Tuba? still may not be an $8M player, but he's a good and valuable player

 

[Riche16]

His game lately has been great... heavy hits but not going out of his way to clobber anyone, simple game, simple passes... he rang the pipe with his shot last night... if he can keep that up I'm ok with the contract.

This is what I expected of him when we traded for him honestly. Not flashy... not crazy offense... just solid minute eater w an edge

 

[Off Sides]

Since I do not often get to say nice things about Trouba, he has been good the last 2 games in a row.

I don't care that some of his shots miss the net, just makes for fun game thread jokes. Keep the pinches and passes smart and he is a good player.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Trouba's kinda of an enigma.

I know he was pretty good past couple games and I don't wanna be a negative nancy but still think he's a problem long term.

This is a player who was thought of as being or close to being a #1d/Cornerstone player for a pretty long time. That obviously is no longer the case. He's obviously solid, not some disaster or liability out there but he doesn't really come close to making enough plays on either side of the ice to justify what he's paid, for me.

He just kind of eats minutes, will get running around too much, and isn't going to make a play that can swing a game like Adam Fox and most other guys who get 8M plus do.

Obviously now with the emergence of Fox, I think the Rangers would take the mulligan on him if they could. I hope and want to be wrong and that this looks like a dumb post in a few years but I doubt it.
