Quoting: Kakko_to_New_York
I like Trouba a lot. I dont think MTL even needs him. Skjei being LHD is more useful for MTL.
actually its quite the opposite now with 4 standout LD prospects behind Mete followed by 3-4 longshots
our RD due to Juulsens likely career ending injury as well as Brook struggling hard to make the jump from Junior to Pro
this leaves MTL with Weber , Petry,Fleury and thats about it for the next 2-3 years .
with Weber playing great but being injured a lot having Trouba makes sense especially if god forbid we cant re-sign Petry as there's no one to replace him in time
if Romanov wasnt about to go on back to back Gagarin cup runs likely capturing his 2nd straight cup before 20 to end the year before joining MTL next year .. sure
maybe then we'd take a declining Skjei with a bad cap and term for MTL
