But at the same time, Dal Colle has to have a little more awareness about where he is on the ice, and he has to know that you can't watch the puck like that.

These are exactly my thoughts verbatim. I've always seen Trouba as a bit of a predator, and this further cements those thoughts. This is 100% a legal hit, but he doesn't need to do it to that level. It shows that he doesn't really respect the other players on the ice.
That being said...Dal Colle...dude...this ain't shinny. Protect yourself in the middle of the ice.
