I'm interested in the league's response to this also. Dal Cole set himself up for it by having his head down for so long, but Trouba also had plenty of time to set up for the hit, yet head contact was still the primary point.
You still want big hits that gets the fans off their seats, but don't want the head to be the primary point of contact when it happens.
I could see Trouba getting displinced for this since the hit is in the danger territory due to head contact. In this new era of concussion awareness, hits like that aren't acceptable anymore.
