Trouba trade looks better everyday for the jets

[SlapshotTheMovie]

Trouba didn't want to be here anyway I didn't want him.

For example, after Columbus lost Panarin and Bobrovsky, when Foligno stepped up and said, 'We only want players who want to play for Columbus.' Foligno showed how amazing of a captain he is, you also see him being kind to every teammate who walks into the Blue Jackets dressing room, plus he's changed that franchise in no way any franchise player ever could do so, and he isn't star talent entirely, but he's been an amazing leader for them. But he is the example of why you want people who want to be there, thus making me happy why Trouba is gone.

Foligno needs to be proud of columbus because he is a fringe 4th liner on about 10 teams right now and no way anyone else in the NHL is putting a letter on him. He is making the most of what he got which is awesome but acting like he has options like bob and bread do and did is just silly.

Eh I’m still very happy with it and would do it again.

Pionk and Heinola playing well consistently isn’t something you can count on yet imo.

 

[Nordiques1979]

Would you if you lost Heinola?

Yes. Heinola looks promising, you know what you get with Trouba.

The jets will always win the trouba trade solely because they traded him away.

Wonder if old man Trouba made the Rangers hire his brother too? Ya, good riddance......to all the Troubas.

Exactly. getting rid of point per game right handed defenders for scraps is always a solid play. You sir are very logical and have a suburb hockey mind. I must ask however how you have avoided being given a GM job so far?

He is currently on a ppg. This wasn't hard to understand. You are splitting hairs for splitting hairs sake and its extra pathetic.

The Jets never traded a PPG defenseman. He was never a PPG defenseman on that team. I mean, 50pts in 82 games is not point per game. Unless the rules have changed then pardon me, I am mistaken.

What he became on the NYR has no relevancy to what he was on the Jets.

 

[Jaytee]

The thing is, Trouba wanted out, not only out of Winnipeg or out of Canada...he wanted out of any team but one based in New York. If the Jets had offered him a contract making him the highest paid defenseman in the NHL, he still wouldn't have signed it.

So, given that he was leaving, no matter what, the question becomes how good are Pionk and Heinola? Pionk appears to be anywhere from average to slightly above average, and the jury is still out on Heinola, but he has potential to be well above average. Give it a couple of years before we say who "won" the trade.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Your team won a trade because of your pet?

 

[Machinehead]

Your team won a trade because of your pet?

Donnie is everyone's pet. He looks out for all of us.

 

[NYR Viper]

Could the trade have been a success for both teams?

 

[Tyrus]

Donnie is everyone's pet. He looks out for all of us.

So that's how you get nearly 100k posts on a hockey forum, with meaningless of-topic drivel.

Good to know.

I think Trouba is working out great for the Rangers and anyone bringing up the "you paid THIS MUCH for Trouba? HAHAHA" argument is really oblivious to current contract situations. At the end of the year his contract is going to look fine, 2 years from now it will be a steal.

 

[Fataldogg]

Pionk is terrible defensively.

Trouba is putting up points and playing 27 minutes of shut down defense each game. They arent remotely comparable.

And Trouba is putting up points with garbage teammates. Pionk is putting up points with a slew of all stars on that team.

I do that trade 100% of the time.

 

[Axel574]

The Rangers have a compulsion to sign big names... it's bizarre and has not served them well. Trouba and Bread are both great players and the Rangers will be improved by mid season is my guess.

All that said they jumped in the deep end too soon... should have waited a year or even two for the youth develop before bringing in the big money FA's.

My two cents.

Everyone understands what you're saying, your point is just terrible.

So if crosby goes tot he devils and cant produce he isnt a PPG player any more. He just sucks. And its not the way he is being used. Got it. SOme super sound logic. You are a very respectable poster. Glad you are a part of HF.

Trouba is not a ppg defenseman though. You dont define a player by the first ten
games of the season

Well, if Crosby goes to the Devils and doesn't score a point per game then I think most objective participants on this message board would agree that he is indeed "not" a point per game player by definition.

I noticed you added in "He just sucks" to your reply...which is moving the goal posts a little. Nobody would say he sucks, but that perhaps that he just doesn't happen to score a point every time he plays a game.

Breadman garbage got it.

 

[Hustlr]

Breadman garbage got it.

It’s not a playoff offence I think we can all agree. As good as Panarin is, hockey is not a 2 man game.

I'm just trying to play to my opponent, so to speak.

I love how Trouba is a 'PPG right handed defender' and pionk is 'scraps' when both players have the same number of points and are playing on their teams top pairings
