What's the deal with Trouba? Why all the talk? Is he that good? What style does he play? If he physical, speed, hard shot?

I always go by the don't fix what's not broken.

I'd say he's comparable to Shea Weber lite.

RD, I see someone anointed you with the post of the year last night for saying you always thought Tanner "was kind of fruity."
Classic. Tormenting him yesterday made a rainy day a little brighter!

I didn't even go back into that thread after that post. Figured James wouldn't respond

Very (frank)ing lite. A somewhat less defensively responsible Boychuk would be my counter.

Likely they will not. Just so long as they are not among the bottom 10 I shall be happy.

I think one day he will be every bit as good as Boychuk. I'm not sure he'll reach Weber's level. Very few have.

Trouba is 22 years old, when Boychuk was 22 he still had two more years of AHL to go.

over 70 points from the blueline already for Trouba at that young age, playing 20+ minutes a night

That would be a great final, except the Oil is going to stop flowing soon. Unsustainable.
Rangers win 4-2 tonight.

Trouba has a better offensive game this early in his career, yes. But while he is not horrible defensively he does seem to get caught out of position fairly often (from games I've seen). Pretty much the only complaint I've ever heard about him from Jets fans as well.

All things are possible. I'm not getting my hopes up though.

say what you will about Adam Larsson, but, the guy is playing 20 minutes + a night and the Oilers have played their best defensive hockey in about 30 years the first month of the season

Wrong. He is a giveaway machine that has zero offensive ability.
Don't buy the hype that the oil are improved. They've had the easiest schedule in the NHL thus far. They are still a bottom feeder.

Talbot is the only reason they look any better. He's been lights out.
