Aaron Ekblad vs. Jacob Trouba
Hey guys, I'm starting to think ahead to next summer.
Keeper league, points only. Would you protect Ekblad or Trouba?
Ekblad has the better pedigree, but his involvement in games over the last year have me worried. Trouba plays like a trooper, but he have too many defensive assignments to attend to.
What does your cristal balls say?

Re: Aaron Ekblad vs. Jacob Trouba
That's tough. Neither are ideal for fantasy, especially in a points only format. Trouba is more known for his defensive game while Ekblad had the higher offensive upside but hasn't proven his potential yet. I'm taking Ekblad here.

Re: Aaron Ekblad vs. Jacob Trouba
As a Trouba owner I'm hoping PenguinHunter is right!!
However, in a pts only, I have to go with the higher upside and that's Ekblad. That said, I don't think the point differential is going to be a whole lot.

Re: Aaron Ekblad vs. Jacob Trouba
You're not likely going to see either one consistently score 40 pts.
But in a points only it's Trouba. It looks like Ekblad may never achieve his earlier form.

Re: Aaron Ekblad vs. Jacob Trouba
Wasn't Ekblad supposed to be a superstar defensemen? Are people already giving up on him?

No. Fantasy hockey =/= real life hockey.Originally Posted by spacecowboy
There's enough red flags to question his ability to put up points though.

Sorry if you can't wait that long, but Ekblad will be the subject of a cage match either next week or the week after.

Looking forward to that! I'm sure a lot of us are baffled by how things have turned out for Ekblad. Hopefully you shed some light (:
