Trzonkowski, a former eighth round pick of the Hitmen, played two seasons in Calgary totaling 16 points (4g 12a) in 111 games to go along with 200 penalty minutes.
The reality for Trzonkowski was when Jake Virtanen arrived at the end of the season he saw very little playoff time, appearing in just two games. I think it's safe to say with the depth the Hitmen have at forward, Trzonkowski would have found it difficult to play his way into the top nine on a regular basis.
I am sure by giving up a fourth round pick, the Blazers feel he can fill that role for them. Kamloops also acquires a character individual who will be missed by many teammates in Calgary.
All the best with the Blazers Rob!
P.S. Among his many posts about the trade Rob (@RobertT33) had this to say on twiiter: Made so many great friendships in the past two years. Gonna miss the boys! Good luck to all of you, but watch out fellas, I'll be coming!
