Gravesy Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I don't know how anyone could make the argument that we didn't overpay when that contract was signed. I don’t think anyone’s making that argument. I believe the first thing I said in this thread was “if you look at it right now, sure, they overpaid”.

MuddyInTheMiddle Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I don?t think anyone?s making that argument. I believe the first thing I said in this thread was ?if you look at it right now, sure, they overpaid?. I wasn?t criticizing your comment per se, and totally recognize that you understand that he is overpaid. I do get the general perception that other people in this thread are surprised that he is not playing the role of a number 1 defenseman.

Scott Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 not impressed so far but willing to be patient. I do think the last couple of years on the deal can be a real problem. Hoping for the best. Most games to me he's pretty invisible in that I don't notice him. That can be a really good thing I guess for a defensemen but probably not for one at that cost and term.

TwoMinutesForNothing Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Is he still on the PP? I know the first unit is Fox and Panarin, and DeAngelo is on the 2nd, but who's on the other point? I thought I saw Skjei tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 He was on the 2nd unit at least once. That unit didn't get much time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 He hasn't been phenomenal, but I'm willing to give him some more time. I still like the acquisition of Trouba, he's just making a ridiculous amount of money. Some thought Panarin was being overpaid. LOL No. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CBrowningPI Posted November 13, 2019 Author Share Posted November 13, 2019 I am really liking his physical presence in the corners and his ability to move guys in front of the net. His game looks to be improving as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 I am really liking his physical presence in the corners and his ability to move guys in front of the net. His game looks to be improving as of late. I agree with this. He’s the most physical D man on the team and along with Lindgren, it’s nice to finally have a couple guys who aren’t afraid to bury people or clear the crease. Trouba has made some mistakes but I think it’s only fair to give him time to figure out his new assignment. Rangers are asking him to do more than the Jets ever did, and asking him to do it with a rookie beside him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rangers are asking him to do more than the Jets ever did, and asking him to do it with a rookie beside him. Yes, I need to keep that in mind. He's only 25 yrs old and the only team he's known was the Jets organization ( team, coaches, city). Now he signs a big contract, moved his life, playing with new teammates, coaches, systems and on top of it he's considered a vet with a shitload more reponsiblities and playing time. His "prime" is probably in a year or two. I have the a typical impatience in my fandome. He was billed as "shoring up the defense" but that could certainly mean down the road a little. I just have to quiet that little voice that says " 8 MILLION DOLLARS " !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
