Mailbag: Player age, Trading Strome, Trading Trouba

Three questions for the mailbag since the bye week. As per usual, use the widget on the right to submit your questions to be answered.

Gerard asks: Can’t help but think about how underwhelming Jacob Trouba has been. Does it make sense to trade him?

This is a tough one. Trouba has six years at $8 million left and will have a NMC kick in next summer. He’s “underwhelmed” in the sense that he’s not putting up points like Tony DeAngelo, but that doesn’t mean he’s been bad. I’m not one to write off a player of Trouba’s caliber after one season, however DeAngelo’s season and Adam Fox’s emergence makes you wonder if trading him and keeping DeAngelo is the better path.
