Soooo by that logic, Joe Thornton, a very good player, is better than Gretzky, who lacks the size that Joe has. Skill and hardwork is far more important than size. Not questioning Hamilton on either, this is simply to prove a point.
That's because 95% of posters had never seen Trouba play 10 days ago.
Thats wierd because everyone around here would still of had an opinion on Trouba. You mean posters make opinions on players they have never seen before?
I'd take Hamilton over Trouba... BUT I want to say this:
This isn't just small sample size. I've been watching the Jets' prospects a lot and this is Trouba. Over at Michigan it's popular to say JMFT (3 guess what MF stands for).
16GP 5G 6A 11PTS 50PIM
It's tough getting that many points as a freshman in NCAA with spending that much time in the box (on a somewhat disappointing team but hopefully Merrill will be back and be his D partner soon again).
Trouba has closed the gap between them, and - who knows - he may even surpass Hamilton. But, he's not there, yet.

You are on a different logic pattern than he is. I agree with him. When comparing two players similar in skill, of course you want the size. However in your example, Gretzky >>> Thornton, and thus your point has not been proven.

We're talking about a size difference of 2" on players who probably aren't fully grown...
Trouba always, Hamilton will probably be even worse with utilizing his "size" than Hal Gill. Funny how in two WJC's against the best of players in his age range Hamilton's been useless, man are Boston fans overrating him.

I was willing to look past last year, but this year...
