Jacob Trouba getting some love from Darren Dreger

The more I watch Jacob Trouba, the more convinced I am he's a strong Calder contender. 20+ mins in 25 of 35 games played. Turns 20 in Feb.

If the Jets weren't a terrible team in a small market he would have a shot, but MacKinnon is running away with the Calder.
He's already playing the #1 role in Winnipeg, 1st unit PK, 2nd unit PP, late game situations, he does it all. I think Trouba can win the Norris sometime in the next five years.

Mackinnon is playing at a high level and looks like a shoe-in. defense in the NHL is a tough way to break in to that league. Seth Jones will eventually be the best dman in that draft year.

He's already more disciplined than Big Buff even though TROUBA does like to get up the ice. And we know he likes to dish out a big boom too.

He is 19 years old.

I would've loved to have him on this year's team but he had nothing left to prove in college. Glad he's doing well in the pros. The successes of JMFJ and Trouba make it more likely we'll find another in their lineage down the road
