No pressure? Trouba looked like a parking cone against the Panthers in the ECF and most other nights. A captain who lost his room. He signed an $8M deal with the Sharks. They also traded for Darnell Nurse and signed Libor Hijek. Yeah, Mike Grier is the GM we should be comparing Drury to LOL. And using that same logic…someone traded for Patterson the year before the Rangers did. So obviously he is worth more than what people seem to think.
Kakko is not good. Period end of story. He went to the Kraken, and nothing changed. He doesn’t get PP time because he doesn’t deserve it. Not because “he never had a chance here.” He is a 40 point player. Nothing wrong with it, but let’s not act like he is God’s gift to the NHL.
