Quoting: BUFF36
I like the player and what he could bring, don't like the 4th year... Let's deal with the fourth year when it arrives, this is a good deal for Buffalo!

If BUF would look to keep him on the right... In Europe wingers and D-men typically play their off side, in the NHL most HC like to have them play on their strong side.
Dumping the puck to the right of the GK, exploits teams that have two LHD in the same pairing and the defenders are forced to backhand the puck to move it forward.
Most NHL coaches and GM's avoid having too many LHD for that reason.
Two year ago Trouba was traded for Pionk and 20th OA, this season he just put up 11 goals his personal best, and some think the 24th OA is too much (presuming WAS eliminates FLA in the first round).
Trouba in a Sabre uniform would balance our defense.
While Jeramiah Crowe has done a great job drafting the past two years, I doubt he will find any one better than Jacob with the Florida pick.
BTW, I have found when dealing with Little and Shibbal, make your point and ignore their retort.
They are both self proclaimed experts and will ignore all facts that contradict their POV.
