The Jacob Trouba trade rumors are reportedly real and the Rangers are making sure the captain ends up in a place that is best for him and his family.
Jacob Trouba’s time with the New York Rangers may be coming to an end.
The Rangers are reportedly working on a deal that would send Trouba to the Detroit Red Wings and ESPN’s Emily Kaplan provided an update to the situation.
“As I said on our draft broadcast, the Jacob Trouba stuff is real,” Kaplan posted via X. “Believe family considerations are huge - and that could be hold up with potential Red Wings trade.
“We’ll see what transpires over next few hours before his trade protection kicks in, but his future with NYR is in limbo.”
Trouba’s no-move clause will change to a 15-team no-trade clause on July 1, which will allow New York to trade him.
The Rangers are looking to clear cap space ahead of the start of free agency, so if Trouba is to get moved it should be in the next 24 hours.
