Jones
Trouba
I think you're underestimating a Marc Staal type player. That's a franchise type d-man in my eyes, and people should be happy if he were to become that. I'm not trying to downplay Trouba by calling him that type of player.Originally Posted by CascadeFilly
Also somebody said he'll become a Weber type, well Weber is taller and a lot bigger than Trouba, with most likely a much harder slap shot.
Honestly though I might take Trouba here even though I voted Jones. I'm just not sure hes this franchise, surefire bluechip D every thought he was after falling some spots. I know many teams who say "if we have two guys rated equally, we will take the d-man". Well, I'm not buying that all 4 of the Top 4 are going to be superstars, and if Jones is, I don't see how you let him slip to 4. In this day and age, scouts generally make the right calls at the top.
Did Trouba make the WJC team as an under ager? Jones is miles ahead of him at the same age.

Jones and its not close. I personally had Jones on my board as 5th on my draft board, but considered him one of three elite talents in the draft. If I was to have ranked Trouba in this years draft I'd probably have placed him 9th. And Trouba's a year ahead of the curve.
12 Team Keeper League, 4 C, 4 LW, 4 RW, 6 D, 1G, 6 BN, 3 IR

RW: Yakupov, Nichushkin, Gaborik, Setoguchi, Niederreiter
D: Karlsson, Subban, Goligoski, D. Kulikov, Carlson, Brodin, Trouba
G: Price, Varlamov
I agree with you completely and if you had put Trouba up against this draft class when he was 18 I would bet he doesn't go top 15 probably not even top 20.
Point is a lot of people are trying to compare these two as = and you absolutely can not do that at these ages. A year on development is huge. I'm certain if he was to play in the WJC this year (which he won't because he's in the NHL) jones would dominate

Actually, he did.
That's why I asked I honestly didn't remember but I do remember th all being abysmal that year.

Trouba has potential to be very good and well-rounded. Style-wise he reminds me of a Ryan Suter type with a little Jack Johnson sprinkled in. Jones though is on a different level. You're talking Rob Blake / Chris Pronger type of all-around production if all goes well.

Personally, I wish I could have both these guys.. If I was to choose, I would take Jones.. But I don't feel like Nashville was a great landing spot for the young Jones.. Trouba is going to be a PPQB for Winnipeg and should rack up the points..
Even though Jones is in Nashville now, I still have to roll with him over Trouba.. They are both going to be really really great!!

Yep, this is pretty much a no brainer.
