I am sure Trouba was anticipating the pass to Khaira and had him lined up for a completely legal hit. He couldn't predict that it would be an iffy pass and Khaira would have his head down, but he was already committed to make the hit. I think if you want to get rid of hits like that, you need to just make hits illegal completely. I just don't see how there can be any middle ground when there are so many variables outside of the control of the one making the hit. There are also some players that seem to completely clobbered more compared to others because of the their lack of awareness and execution to avoid those situations.

Having said that, maybe it is time to take big hits out of the game completely. I will admit, I love seeing big hits when they happen, but it isn't why I watch. You can literally go several games without seeing a big hit like that and it doesn't stop me from watching. Hockey has been in constant evolution for over 100 years and maybe removing hits are next stage. I am not sure how much I like that, but I know that I hate catastrophic brain injuries more.
