NHL insider Elliotte Friedman has just confirmed Jacob Trouba will be traded within the next 24 hours after latest development.

Followed by the report several others have indicated that this is happening because the Rangers are set to place Trouba on waivers or even trade him.

Early reports are indicating Trouba might be imminently traded OR placed on waivers today.
Per league source, Jacob Trouba will not be skating with the #NYR� for «roster management» purposes. Sounds like a ball is in the air, whether it be trade or possible waiving.
Victor Mancini has been recalled.
However, the time has hit 2:00PM and Insider Elliotte Friedman has revealed that Jacob Trouba has NOT been placed on waivers.
