Trouba was our shut down last year, Myers was protected and played primarily all his 5v5 minutes vrs the other teams 3rd and 4th lines.

...except for the 40 away games, any Jets icings, when Trouba was injured for 1/3 of the season, Buff was injured, Enstrom was injured, etc etc. You'd be hard-pressed to prove Myers was at all "protected". Its kinda hard to play 22 minutes a game against 3rd and 4th lines that tend to play only 11 minutes and 6 minutes each and not have all of the above cut deeply into those numbers.
