Jacob Trouba would be shocked to know his name is associated with trade rumors.
Elliotte Friedman reported that the New York Rangers asked their captain to provide them in advance with his list of 15 teams to which he would not agree to be traded.

On Monday, the 30-year-old defenseman’s full no-trade clause will officially become partial.
This weekend, the columnist of New York Post Larry Brooks reported that the Rangers and Detroit Red Wings were working on a trade to send Trouba to Michigan.
There are two seasons remaining on the veteran’s contract, which earns an annual salary of $8 million.
Still according to the hockey expert of the Sportsnet network, Trouba would not want to wear another uniform than that of the “Blueshirts”. He would even flirt with the idea of putting spokes in the wheels of the Rangers by writing on his list the names of the teams that would be the most likely to acquire him.
In 2024-2025, the rear must play its 12e season in the Bettman circuit. He began his career with the Winnipeg Jets, the team that drafted him with the ninth overall pick in the 2012 amateur draft. The Manitoba club traded him to the New York team in June 2019, in exchange for defenseman Neal Pionk and a first-round pick.
