I'm using the dobber hockey line combo tool that looks at the pairings and ice time over the last three games, and it looks like they're not using Trouba much.

It's not totally out to lunch to make the comparison and I appreciate the fact that you're not saying Trouba is better, but really it's not close at this point and somebody saying that Winnipeg doesn't have anyone like Brodie is not being a homer.

Dobbersports is incorrect. Last 3 games Trouba is averaging 20 minutes a game which is third for Dmen. Also in terms of where they are as hockey players, it's still not justifiable unless you're talking about this season after 7 games for Brodie and 5 games for Trouba. Plus if you factor in team success, does it mean that any Dmen that has more than 0 points is better than Trouba? Homerville.
