Recalled/Assigned: Trotman

[RussellmaniaKW]

is this going to be a thing where people whine non-stop about defensive callups for the rest of the season? Because, this is what we have...it's Trotman, Morrow, and Warsofsky as our only 7th D options for the rest of the year. People better just get used to it now.

 

[Artemis]

Trotman sucks there I said it

Do you attend a lot of Providence games, to make that proclamation?

As Divver tweeted, Morrow is still working his way back from a bad knee injury, and Trotman has played very well the past couple of weeks. The Bruins have two road games in two days and have only six defensemen. It would be strange if they *didn't* call someone up as insurance.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Morrow should be getting the call 1st over Trotman.

Who's whining? All I see is people expressing their opinions, which is kind of, ya know, the point of a message board.

 

[Artemis]

Again, Morrow is coming off a knee-to-knee hit, and unless someone on the Bruins gets sick or hurt, Trotman spends the weekend eating popcorn in the press box and enjoying his pay bump.

 

[Ratty]

Morrow should be getting the call 1st over Trotman.

Didn't you read what Artemis, and others have said about Morrow? All things being equal, sure, Morrow is the preferred choice, but all things are not equal in this case.

 

[Ogrim]

Still not worried about having Trotman in the lineup as there is plenty of potential for a good 5-6D there.
We can't all of a sudden expect everyone to make a Miller-like first season. Have some patience.

I'd still like us to do groundwork towards next season, I want morrow to be in our lineup and visit the B's would help his game.
And Morrow has been playing?

 

[whatsbruin]

And Gagne is only here for a tryout and won't take playing time away from
the kids.

 

[OrrCam]

The Jordan Caron of the defense, minus the talent of Jordan Caron.

The Jordan Caron of the defense - minus - the talent of Jordan Caron = The Jordan Caron of the defense

He's played 4-5 games since missing significant time. I doubt he's 100 percent.

Never say never, but if Trotman sees ice time with the big club this weekend it will be a surprise. They have six defensemen, they are on the road Saturday and Sunday, and they need an extra defenseman just in case. Trotman = Aflac. He watches from the press box, he collects a couple of days of NHL pay and per diem, and meanwhile Morrow continues his recovery with the PBs.

 

[Sea Bass Neely]

Trotman's been playing well in Prov. I'd rather have him as 7th D and Morrow get as many games as possible in off that knee injury. And apparently so does Chia.

 

[sarge88]

Learn to compare. I don't think you even know why Caron was not liked by a lot here.

I didn't like him because he was lousy at hockey, which is the same reason I don't like Trotman.

Trotman sucks but i'd still rather have him playing than Bart

 

[LavioletteScores]

I think Trotman has acquitted himself relatively well this year considering he's a 7th round pick and no one really thinking he can do anything in the NHL. Kid's played well in PVD, deserves a call-up, even if he doesn't see game action

agreed

had a few decent games with the big club, then his lack of experience caught up to him and he started to struggle, and sent back down

Not a shocker, nor a concern for this fan

I truly don't remember one period where I thought he played well, or showed any promise.

Granted, the team as a whole was playing terribly at the time he was here, but I still thought Morrow was light years ahead of him at the time.

As long as he's here simply for emergency purposes, it's fine, but if someone goes down longer term. then I'd much rather see Morrow or even Warsofsky.

I don`t think he was as bad as many think here and as you said, the team as a whole at that time was playing like trash

surprisingly, the kid was only a -1 in his, I think 15-16 games here? I`m not a massive fan of that stat but...

Knee jerk reactions by people who ride the coat tails of other who might have made a comment with tongue in cheek. Or maybe they thought the Bruins were hiding a Ray Bourque in Providence.

By my blind estimation Trotman did well on his last call up. I was actually happy there was some future for this 7th round pick. Of coarse one is always looking for when things even themselves up.

I just remember watching him with the puck, and marveling at how badly he handled, shot and passed it.

 

[Artemis]

He's been sent back to Providence, so everyone can untwist their knickers now.

 

[JoeIsAStud]

So they made the decision to have Trotman come sit in the pressbox for a game and miss 2 Providence games instead of Morrow. Seems they might know what they are doing after all

Next time give the Dr Cross the chance to collect big boy money for a couple days

The disdain for Trotman is comical … People do realize that he was the very last pick in the last round of his draft class, and that he's already vastly exceeded those expectations, right?

Those of us who have watched him in Providence of late will tell you that his game is looking more like the Trotman of last season lately, as opposed to the Trotman of this season. This is a good thing. He started this season out of sorts but has settled back into being a responsible, smart-thinking stay-at-home.

I'd be absolutely fine with him playing in Boston right now should he be called upon.

As for Morrow and as others have pointed out, he missed a good deal of time out because of injury and is much better served getting the reps in Providence right now than sitting in the press box in Boston. He's progressed since coming back, and he's another guy who I'd have no issue with in Boston should he be called upon.

I'm glad for the kid, making it this far after being such a low pick. Doesn't change my opinion of him though. He was awful when he was here, and his ceiling is relatively low. Glad Morrow is playing while he is sitting, but I'd still want Morrow over him if they needed someone long term.

You may have lost any credibility here.
