## Resource

San Jose’s big defensive move this summer? Jacob Trouba’s massive new contract is sparking fire from the analytics crowd—calling it one of the worst deals in the league. While he brings grit and mentorship, his on-ice production doesn’t match top-pair expectations. Analysts worry the Sharks are overpaying, but with cap space to spare and a shifting market where elite defensemen could soon rival forwards in pay, Trouba’s deal might look smarter down the line. The real test? How San Jose uses him—top pair or role fit, his value could shine—or disappoint. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
