Profile Contributed By: HF Staff
History
Trotter is a potentially high-reward player signed as a free agent halfway through the 2007-08 season when he left the Univ. of Denver. He had long been on the Canadiens radar. Assigned to the Hamilton Bulldogs.
2007-08: Trotter spent the season with two clubs, splitting time between the University of Denver (WCHA) and Hamilton (AHL). With Denver, he appeared in 24 games and finished with 31 points (13+18). In his first season in the AHL, he netted three goals and six helpers in 21 games for the Bulldogs.
Talent Analysis
Trotter is a beast from the blueline in, with a solid burst and nose for the net. He also is capable of playing a physical, gritty game that belies his size.
Future
Trotter, who went undrafted, is a long-term project for the Canadiens. He has been on the club's radar for a couple of seasons and Montreal quickly moved to sign him to a contract after he left the University of Denver. However, don't expect him to see the NHL for a few seasons. There are a lot of rough edges to his game and he'll have plenty of time to work on them in Hamilton. Defensive responsibilities, in particular, are things upon which he needs to focus.
