Strangely enough, I didn't find this one all that dubious. Barron puts himself into a terrible spot and Trouba keeps his arm in to his body. There is no chickenwing or jump or any of the other shenanigans one would associate with a questionable hit. But he does him Barron in the head and then he hits his head on the ice. Barron needs to be more aware there - there is no one masking Trouba's approach, he's a known hitter, Barron is not even looking at him as he crouches into contact. It's a Covair move -- unsafe at any speed.
