It’ll be interesting to see if Schneider can take Trouba’s spot on pair2 at some point moving forward

Everyone already know he has overtaken Trouba except the coaches. They won’t have a chance at winning any playoff rounds if Trouba is playing big minutes

And some weird NYR fans on here think Trouba is actually good at defense lol

I’d be all for getting him and his cap off the team but I can’t see it happening

I just don’t see what coaches see in him. He’s considered the top pair in terms in 5v5 minutes

Red Wings could've used Trouba today against Florida.

Tkachuk, Bennett and Ekblad bullied them the entire game.

Need Trouba to put someone in a body bag.

Figuratively speaking.

Fun thread right after the trade thread of Red Wings fans slapping hands over offering a 1st and Tuomisto with Trouba being completely unretained lol.

I think he’s still hurt because he had someone lined up for a hit and pulled back, oddly enough

Thing is Red Wings are a very soft team.

A player like Trouba makes the other team need to be aware of where he is at all times.

Trouba is like a King Cobra.

He can strike at any time.

Red Wings need that.

Trouba can't be any worse at playing defense than Jeff Petry. 😬

Understandable

My frustration is that Lavi purposely plays Trouba over Schneider and that it’s obvious KAM/Trouba pairing doesn’t work

Yeah young Schneider is really coming into his own right now.

You have a stud you need to let him ride.

Could Trouba be the most Verbeek like player in the NHL? 🤭

Trouba and Gudas on the same team? 🤣

They really need to see what he’s capable of if he is the future…having him play only bottom pair minutes and competition for 3 years isn’t the way to do it

There’s a difference between playing physical,
and playing good defense

Sure, Trouba is scrappy
But he’s always been mediocre in his own end

I’ve always known this but Schneider was young and a bit shakey his first couple years, but now it’s evident I’d much rather Schneider in Trouba’s spot

Trouba is good for hits, blocks, intimidation and penalty kill, hence stick him on the bottom pair

Makes sense
But it’s hard to shelter a guy with a Cap hit like that
Especially when he’s your Captain

Back early from knee injury, yes he's a slow tripod, yet the barking is unnecessary considering the whole team is missing assignments, lobbing the puck out softly to opponents dman. When push comes to shove, Trouba minutes & Shoulders win!
Get over it already lol.
Am I the ONLY NYR fan that was preaching depth & heavy help = steady eddie contending with Igor & Fox !??!!

I mean it’s whatever during the regular season, but come playoffs Trouba should not be playing meaningful minutes if they’re serious about a cup run

Guys like Kuch, Mcdavid, Mackinnon, etc. will feast

There’s literally no reason for him to take Schneider’s spot, especially come back from a long injury

Besides how blind can the coaching staff be to the fact that KAM/Trouba & Jones/Schneider does not work….

Dude the evidence is in the game lmao pretty sure he was on the ice for 4 goals against. And oddly they played better without him including tougher competition 🤔

I’m starting to think you’re actually Trouba himself with the way to come to his defense every time

Imagine watching Jeff Petry blow his assignment for 3 out of Carolina's four goals (He was in the box for the fourth...) and Lalonde still playing him in the 3rd period when you have 7 D dressed.

He literally can be the same exact player on the bottom line with Jones…no reason to demote Schneider when he played well
