LMFAO LLLLLLLLLL

Lol the trouba deal is just as bad. You will see he is way overrated, at least if pionk doesn’t do great it wasn’t like he was expected to light it up.

Trouba for 8 is better than pionk for 3

It may look like that for now but trust me it won’t for Long, Morrissey had to save his ass all season long

Pionk is gonna be a fan favourite

Holy mother of all spares!!! I could see 2x1.4m or 4x2.3m. This is not good for the rest of the league, when a 5/6 d gets a 2x3m deal. College kids seem to demand more, I guess for loss time. I'm legit worried about what ADa and Buch get! All teams maxed out in 5, 4, 3,...

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.

I agree, Rangers will see it as an albatross in a few years
