Vincent Trocheck Sent to Carolina for Package of Players
5 years agoForward Vincent Trocheck was traded to the Carolina Hurricanes for forwards Erik Haula and Lucas Wallmark as well as prospects Eetu Luostarinen and Chase Priskie. Regularly deployed as Florida's second-line center, the assumption is that Trocheck will fill a similar role in Carolina. Where Trocheck lines up exactly will go a long way to determining his fantasy value going forward, but something to keep an eye on is his power-play usage. Trocheck is on a nearly identical point pace as last season, 0.62 points per game compared to 0.65 points per game, but his power-play production has fallen off from 13 points to only 5, and he is on pace for his lowest power-play production in the last five seasons. A change of scenery could be the perfect remedy, making Trocheck worth a speculative add after this trade.
