<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>Myers was bad in our own end. Trouba wasn’t. He was our 2nd best d in our own zone. Without the puck his play was only second to JoMo. He mad waay more good pinches than bad and even JoMo had a lot of bad pinches (usually ended up worse than Trouba since he doesn’t have the skating ability required to get back in a hurry compared to JoMo). It seems like ur taking instances of time instead of recognizing the fact that with JoMo he played on arguably he best shutdown pairing in the league. The duo played against superstarts all season and I’m sorry but JoMo isn’t a god and he can’t handle that much talent on his own. The fact is that Trouba is very good in his own end but he only parts that are really lacking in his game are puck moving ability and mobility which obviously is less since he is big. To say he is a bad defencemen is just false. Ask anyone. I’m not arguing that he is better than JoMo (he isn’t) but Trouba is very good in his own right. Imo he is a fringe #1 d-man and an elite #2. Is he worth 8M? Based on market value no but he was also only a year away from UFA so overpayment was necessary and JoMo also took a discount so he isn’t much of a comp.

I’m done with this argument as your points are straight up false. Every defencemen makes mistakes but you are magnifying trouba’s. I as a jets fan I do not like how he forced his way out but he is a great player. He was a top pairing shutdown guy before this last season (before he broke out offensively). Now he is an elite shutdown guy. He is very good in his own end and that is the bread and butter of his game. Read any scouting report. Just do it. That’s my eveidence.</div></div>

That's alot of typing just for me to not read it. Trouba wasnt a good defender, please watch a game instead of trying to think you know it all
