Trouba may be switching to the left side of the ice according to coach Paul Maurice in an effort to increase his ice time, Gary Lawless of TSN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Trouba could be inline to pair up with Dustin Byfuglien if he can successfully transition to the other side of the ice. While this might seem like an easy move, it will be a significant challenge for the 22-year-old as he will need to learn to view the game from a completely different angle. Trouba averaged 22:04 in ice time per night last season and would likely see an increase of a minute or two on the top pairing.
