New York Rangers Plan Trade for Jacob Trouba

New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba's time with the team is nearing an end, as multiple trade options are being explored. Trouba, who has a 15-team no-trade clause, was a healthy scratch for a game against the Pittsburgh Penguins while weighing trade possibilities, with a decision expected soon. Teams including the Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Ottawa Senators, and Buffalo Sabres have expressed interest, but all require Trouba's consent to proceed. If no trade is finalized, the Rangers may resort to placing him on waivers. Trouba's performance this season includes six assists in 24 games, and he has been a key defensive player. The Rangers, struggling with six losses in their last seven games, are actively seeking changes as they sit fourth in the Metropolitan Division.
