Do people not know about Jacob Trouba's massive improvement this year? His analytics are really solid. His current WAR/xWAR pace puts him at being worth 5.2 mil this season over 1500 mins played. If he's able to continue something like that he'll be a -18 mil surplus value relative to cap for the lifetime of his contract.
Let's compare that with Subban. At his current pace, he's worth -18.1 mil over 1500 mins played. At his current cap hit that puts him worth -27 mil EACH SEASON.
Even if you account for some possible Trouba regression, This isn't really a conversation regardless of term lol.
