Trade talks continue to heat up amongst several teams for Jacob Trouba
According to The Fourth Period, Trade talks are continuing to heat up between several teams and the Rangers as the Blue Shirts are looking to move on from Rangers captain Jacob Trouba.
These rumors seem to be intensifying rather than subsiding as general manager Chris Drury has made it clear that he would like to go at different direction as USA TODAY reporter Vince Mercogliano reported earlier this month that there was trouble in the Rangers dressing room and that Trouba would be the likely candidate to be traded.
«(Trouba's) wife, Kelly, has a medical career in New York and their first child, Axel, arrived in January,» Mercogliano reported. «The belief is that [Rangers general manager Chris] Drury wants to rip the band-aid off, which may leave Trouba resigned to accept his fate. Regardless of how it turns out, the state of the locker room is a concern.»
Much of this talk has been stemmed around the fact that Trouba's no movement clause has been lifted and is now a modified no trade clause to which he needs to submit his sixteen-team list if the Rangers decide to move him.
Other Sports News outlets including the fourth period and Sports Illustrated are reporting several teams in the mix including the Detroit Red Wings, Anaheim Ducks, Buffalo Sabres and Nashville Predators who have contacted the Rangers on his availability.
SI went further to say that Trevor Zegras could be in the wind of a trade as they are looking to move on from him and that Zegras would benefit heading to New York City.
"The Blue Shirts are looking to sell their captain and would likely take a big name in return. The Ducks might be on the verge of trading Trevor Zegras, and a move to New York could do a lot for the budding superstar.
With all the rumors circling, it remains to be seen on whether Trouba will be with a new organization but in the meantime the heat continues to grow hotter with more teams calling Drury.
