I already admire the responsibility he's taken with the role. It's the type of stuff you hear about from some of the better captains in the league. He's off to a good start. Great article to highlight that contrary to popular belief sometimes armchair GMs on a message board, somewhat shockingly, don't really know about the real leadership actions taking place behind the scenes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Trouba is the right guy for the job. Leads by example and gives up his body whenever the play requires it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 I just hope it doesn't have him thinking he needs to do anything differently. We can't have him going out of position for the big hits even more than he already does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Schneider was pretty conservative in this approach. Seems to be a team mindset (outside of Blais) so I’m not too worried about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"That's actually something I thought a fair bit about, and there's two times I can look back in my career," Trouba said. "My second year, I thought I was going to be some different player. I struggled that year. Then, coming here with the contract and getting traded and all that, I was trying to be someone I wasn't, I think. I struggled that year. "When I'm at my best is when I'm myself. I'm not going to change who I am. The reason all this happened is because I was myself and true to myself. I intend on being the same person." https://www.nhl.com/news/c-335223360 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Good. The guy has the room. He's had it since 2020. I like that he's a little goofy and doesn't take himself too serious off the ice. But, love that he's finally adapted back into form of the player we all expected when he signed here. He's a gamer and I think he's only going to play better and live up to the contract. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing he didn't "buy a vowel"!!! We can reconcile some of that overpayment just with what he did to mentor Miller last year. And if the kid turns into the kind of player he showed last year, it'll be well worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't even a free agent when we signed him, he forced a trade here and we basically paid him what Sergachev got... 3 years later. Gorton was the worst at this. He didn't negotiate anything, he just gave GMs and players whatever they asked for LOL. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other is a player that makes a million less than last year's Norris trophy winner... And is probably the third best defenseman on his team.

Sod16 Posted August 10, 2022 Share Posted August 10, 2022 As a UFA, Trouba would definitely get $6m per long term and maybe $7m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tough call but it did turn two playoff series around last season. 3.5mil more is a lot but now you have physical presence and leadership abilities. I forecast Brady Skjei will not be a captain of any NHL team in his career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we're paying almost 3 million more a year for "physical presence"? Skjei had a career year this season, but Trouba's number offensively are better. So we're paying for a better offensive player, a leader, a "physical presence" and just an overall better player (and person). I think Skjei is a weird example because I honestly think Trouba is a 3-4m better player than Skjei. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
