Trotter gave a lot to the DU program. His contributions to DU Hockey, albeit over a short period of time, were significant. Had he stayed he would have had the opportunity to do some great things. Whatever happened to lead to his departure is water under the bridge. Although there might be some lingering bitterness, I think most DU fans wish him well.

Trotter needed a goal, he wasn't exactly tearing it up. He could very well be on his way to the ECHL if more goals don't follow.
