Just because a player is young and gets playing time, doesn't mean they're actually good.
I don't know much about Pionk, but I assume he's better than Butler was.
The Trouba situation was always kind of messy, so I'm not surprised that the Jets failed to maximize his value. At least they did get something pretty decent out of it. The first round pick is nice.
It seems like the Jets might be worse next season, unless their goaltending rebounds.

Wow. That was cheap like Borscht! Not good borscht though...
