Thread: If I Were In Charge
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Onlyfairtrades1</b></div><div>Who was it that woke the team up after their terrible start? Wasn't it Trouba with several big hits and fights in back to back games followed by his throwing the helmet and calling out his team? After that game, what happened? Didn't they go on a nice long winning streak putting them into playoff position? Or did that not happen? They were 12-10-5 when he did that and the next 23 games were 16-4-3. What is the value of a guy that can do that for a team, cap wise? And yeah, his defense is pretty good, blocks tons of shots, clears the crease. Not his fault the Rangers wingers don't back check 90% of the time. Bottom line is Trouba has value in the intangibles no one else on the team provides, outside of Goodrow, and the intangibles he provides are vital in the playoffs. Without Trouba's grit, the Rangers don't advance past the Penguins last playoffs. What is the value of that cap wise????</div></div> I really personally like Trouba, which is why I traded for him. He is very physical and a good leader so he is worth the 8M if we can offload Skjei.
