"We lose a guy for probably a month at least. There's nothing. And that hurt. I thought it was more of him getting bumped and his stick (came up). I know you gotta be in control of your stick, but I don't think it's worth a suspension."
"Jacob Trouba has been fined $5,000 for high-sticking Trent Frederic, via @NHLPlayerSafety"
Bobby McMann will be unavailable for roughly a month because of a suspension that removed a roster player for an extended period. The play involved McMann being bumped and his stick coming up, raising questions about proportionality of the punishment despite the expectation that players control their sticks. The absence had an immediate negative impact on lineup depth. Separately, Jacob Trouba was assessed a $5,000 fine for high-sticking Trent Frederic as a form of league discipline for the infraction.
