It seems high for Pionk, but it looks like crazy $$ is being thrown at young defenseman, especially right shot ones. The Trouba deal is crazy in my opinion....I thought he looked very suspicious the last 2 playoff series losses, like teams figured out that if you apply great pressure to him he'll cough up the puck, which he did in volumes against Vegas and the Blues. When the blues were forechecking, Buff was carrying the puck out to some success, while other D were beating the press with decent outlet passing. Trouba didn't seems to be able to to either. I'd love to see the clips of all the turnovers from those 2 series Trouba had. My suspicion is Trouba will not be very well regarded in NY and will crumble under both big city pressure and actual hockey pressure.
