I think we can agree rielly and Trouba are in the same league with them both being better at different things

id say Trouba is more well rounded but Rielly has much better speed and offensive ability. Trouba doesnt really excel in anything, but he's above average on everything. These guys are separated by a hair at most imo

all I know is these guys together would a killer pairing
Trouba excels at shutting down offense, as illustrated by how he limits shots and scoring chances against. I realize that this doesn't capture the attention of casual observers, but it's a critical part of playing defense and Trouba is in the upper echelon in this area.

The images below should help to understand (blue is good, red is bad).

You are the one who interrupted a conversation with non sense.

YOU SPECIFICALLY QUESTIONED THE VALIDITY OF TROUBA OWNING PROPERTY IN FLORIDA...

Meanwhile this is rather common knowledge for Winnipeg fans here on hfboards. It's been talked about to death since Trouba made this purchase 374 days ago.

https://hfboards.mandatory.com/threads/signing-jacob-trouba-part-ii.2383751/

You're totally correct in saying that him owning property in Florida doesn't mean he wants to be traded there. Blake Wheeler owns property in Florida as well. His next door neighbour is Max Pacioretti & the two are summer workout partners. Their children also spend the summer playing together.

This isn't news to Jets fans either. It didn't mean Patches is coming to Winnipeg & it didn't mean Wheeler was going to become a UFA holdout in 2019 and sign in Florida.

It's just information.

Sorry for interjecting a simple fact into the conversation you were having within this thread. Next time I'll let you call another poster a liar without correcting you.

He's third among NHL D-men for 5v5 Points per game over the last 2 years, AND an outstanding defensively. The only place you can argue Rielly has the edge is on the PP, but Trouba's never really been given an opportunity on the Jets top PP.

Rielly played 2:12 on the pp this year and 58 seconds the year before
Trouba played 1:28 this year and 1:40 last year

Neither player plays on the pp much tbh.

Rielly had 24 PP points last year, that was his bread and butter as far as points go.

Over the Last 2 years Rielly has 40 5v5 points Trouba has 44 in spite of playing 37 fewer games. Trouba is simply a much more productive D-man at 5v5. While he's had some PP time it was on a dysfunctional second unit where the forwards had significant problems with zone entries. IMO he's capable of big PP numbers as well, he just won't get time on the #1 PP while Buff is still here.

Last 2yrs, Reg Season and Playoffs

Rielly (24): 165gms, ES 18:05 (A qoc), 0.99p60, 0.74p160, 50.8cf% (+0.7), 50.1xgf% (-1.1) / PP 1:35, 7.57p60, 3.21p60
Trouba (24): 132gms, ES 18:47 (A- qoc), 1.04p60, 0.70p160, 50.8cf% (-0.1), 53.8xgf% (+2.6) / PP 1:25, 2.25p60, 0.97p160

At even strength they are very similar offensively and possession wise, but Rielly does it against tougher competition. Edge to Rielly at even strength.

And obviously it's not close on the PP.

rielly played on the low end of pp time still and the reason he got 25 points is cause he was amazing at it, you cant fault rielly for being great on the pp especially in such few minutes. its expected when you have higher pp totals your ev totals arent as high generally.

Then how come he’s never done it before? It seems much more likely that he was in the right place at the right time.

Um maybe cause he broke out at 24, he was pretty young playing at 19 on some horrible leafs team. Yeah Toronto was a good offensive team and that plays a role. But he was good on the pp in the limited minutes he saw. And that trend should continue into next year.

Age 23, actually.

but it wasn't really an outlier break out. just a continued improvement, aside from that total team tank year in 15-16 when nobody could score:


Age 19: ES .75p60, .21p160, 9.3oish% / PP 5.16p60, 2.58p160, 18.5oish%
Age 20: ES .79p60, .62p160, 7.0oish% / PP 2.48p60, 1.55p160, 10.0oish%
Age 21: ES .76p60, .44p160, 6.5oish% / PP 2.89p60, 0.83p160, 10.7oish%
Age 22: ES .90p60, .70p160, 7.4oish% / PP 5.65p60, 3.53p160, 13.8oish%
Age 23: ES 1.08p60, .79p160, 8.9oish% / PP 8.49p60, 3.06p160, 16.0oish%
