Trouba a Keeper Now?

[Wonko]

So if Trouba indeed signs with the Rangers does his value take a decent rise? I am not a huge fan of the Rangers offence but they do have some good young players coming down the line and Zibby and Kreider and not slouches. Can Trouba put up some 50+ point season with his usual strong peripherals in the big apple, or will the weakened offense hurt his numbers somewhat going forward?

I own Trouba in both of my keep 10 leagues and I have to decide whether or not his new situation might make keeping him a possibility in one or both leagues.

(Trouba likely does not make the cut for my league in signature (close maybe), but in my other league with the same type of scoring my only possible keeper D are Burns, Pietrangelo, and OEL so far)

Can't see keeping Trouba in the league in your signature. No way of knowing where he'd stand in the other without seeing that full squad. Not sure his value went up all that much moving to NYR.

I'm in a multi-cat H2H salary league and I'm expecting similar output to this past year. For no other reason than he finally is a top pairing with no competition = steady monster minutes.

Even if he scores 40 points (which I think he can steadily beat), his peripherals will be significant.

He isn't a keeper in your first league.

As for your second league, I can't really say if he will be a better keeper than Pietrangelo or OEL, but I will say that I don't see Trouba scoring over 50 in New York. I don't think they have enough offense up front to support having a 50+ pt defenseman. That said, if they somehow get Panarin or another big name player this summer (via trade or free agency), then perhaps Trouba can score over 50.
