Bill Armstrong is feeling pretty good about his defense. 
When Vincent Trocheck arrived in Salt Lake City, toured the Utah Mammoth facilities and pulled on the team’s black home jersey for the first time, he wasn’t merely an NHL player receiving an introduction to his new home. 
For the ex-New York Rangers center, it represented the culmination of a half-year stretch that had included a retool declaration from his former team, a healthy scratch for roster management reasons, and a few months in limbo.
