Brock Trotter to the Habs.

Denver Post Hockey Blogger Mike Chambers is reporting that Trotter is going to sign with the Montreal Candians and it will be announced tomorrow... Ouch big loss for the Denver Pioneers.

The Montreal Canadiens on Friday are expected to announce the signing of forward Brock Trotter, who was leading DU in goals (13) assists (18) and points (31) before leaving the team last week, a Canadiens spoksman confirmed Thursday.

Trotter, a third-year sophomore, is scheduled to join Montreal’s AHL affiliate, the Hamilton Bulldogs. The Pioneers still haven’t revealed if Trotter was dismissed or left on his own.

“Brock is a good kid,” DU senior defenseman and team captain Andrew Thomas said. “We always bring in character kids. We’ll bring in a character kid over a skilled kid any day of the week. That’s what our coaching staff always emphasizes, that’s why we’re here. It was never a case of his personality or any of that.”
