[Bits] Hearing from Beau; Mighty Duck and cover; The Trouba-door

There hasn’t been much to glean from the last few days, as far as hockey goes, unfortunately, but we’ve managed to scrounge some bits together. While it isn’t much, I hope you enjoy them.

• The most significant news from the past few days: Jacob Trouba reached his arbitration hearing, and was awarded a one-year deal at $5.5 million by the arbitrator.

No reason why they wouldn’t, but you have to think the trade speculation intensifies with him. [Winnipeg Sun | Arctic Ice Hockey]
