I do hate guys like Trouba who I think tries to injure players with hits that are technically clean. I just don't know how you can draw the line.
Start with the obvious. Was the hit egregiously more than required to retrieve the puck? If Yes - severe penalty and suspension.

I would encourage to read Ken Dryden's book Game Change that is all about this.
