"I look back at how my game developed this year, I'm pretty happy with that. I think it was a step in the right direction," said Lowry. "It's going to be something that I'm going to try and build off, and try to use this summer to continue that development and continue to make improvements in my game.
"I got a lot of opportunities this year, and I tried to make the most of it."
Trouba, like Lowry and Scheifele, also had career high numbers in assists (25) and points (33) in the 60 games he played in 2016-17.
Those 33 points were second among Jets defencemen, and while Trouba looks forward to being a bit more of a leader in the eyes of the team's younger players, he credits the older veterans in the room for showing him the way.
"I remember my first couple years, I didn't really understand what it took. You need those older guys who have been there and gone through it to teach the younger guys that come in," said Trouba. "That was something that I got, and I think Mark and I in that age group can help with that, but you need the Blake Wheelers and the veteran guys to really show the way."
General Manager Kevin Cheveldayoff says all those career numbers are a direct result of the work each player does to improve his game.
"Mark Scheifele invested in himself. He went from that 18-year-old kid, to the 19-year-old kid, to the 20-year-old young man, to the 21-year-old man, to the 22-23-year-old driver of this team. It's taken him to do that. The credit goes to him," said Cheveldayoff. "The credit goes to Jacob Trouba for what he's done. These guys have talent, the coaches are here to help guide them, but in the end the players deserves all the credit."
