Who's had the better career so far? Jacob Trouba vs Ryan Ellis

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Neither have really stood out as anything amazing, but dependable to outright excellent 2-3Dman for their entire career. Who'd you say has had the better career so far?

I think probably Ellis, just for having produced the more consistent offensive numbers over the years. Trouba hasn't really had that. But i think in terms of peak play...Trouba has maybe been the better player, and he's got the bigger "big year" peak.

If i were picking a player to have had on my team through their career, i'd go with Trouba pretty comfortably. But in terms of broader fan perceptions, he's definitely had the "lower lows" in his career. And doesn't have Ellis claim to fame of being a cog in that "league's best defence" with the Preds foursome for a bit.

Ellis because he's been around for longer and has a lot of fan respect since he was always a big "most underrated" contender
Trouba's arguably better though so he might pass Ellis at some point

In the playoffs give me Trouba all day.

Trouba.

Not close.

Being a fan of a Central team and seeing Trouba in WPG for years and Ellis in NSH, Trouba is overrated and always has been. Ellis all the way
