Vincent Trocheck and Anders Lee don’t feel like random additions. They feel like a message. The Utah Mammoth are trying to get tougher, nastier, deeper, and a whole lot harder to play against.
On this episode of SLC Puck, I break down what stood out from Friday’s Utah media availability with Trocheck, Lee, and Bill Armstrong. Trocheck revealed he’s been skating with Logan Cooley in Pittsburgh and texting with him over the last two weeks, which tells you this move had been in the works. I also get into Trocheck’s take on all the centers in this lineup, and why his versatility could matter just as much as his edge.
Then there’s Anders Lee: 36 years old, 6-foot-3, 234 pounds, and exactly the kind of net-front pain-in-the-neck Utah needs more of. He signed a three-year deal and is switching from No. 27 to No. 72 with Barrett Hayton keeping 27. If the Mammoth want more greasy goals and more bite in games that matter, Lee should help. These are experienced East Coast guys — Trocheck from the Rangers, Lee from the Islanders — and both sound like they believe Utah gives them a real shot to chase a Stanley Cup.
