2022 Report Card: Jacob Trouba
Photo by Mark LoMoglio/NHLI via Getty ImagesIt was certainly an interesting year for New York Rangers defenseman Jacob Trouba.
In 2021-22, Trouba fell one point shy of the 40-point milestone — despite scoring just four points on the power-play — and punished the opposition with his physical play in both the regular season and playoffs. Going by the eye test and the box car stats, he was a little closer to the player the Rangers made a significant trade to acquire. But, three years into his big deal, Rangers fans seem conflicted over his perceived value against his actual value. Oh, and opposing fans absolutely hate him.
So, at least we have that.
