After the unsuccessful trade attempt with the Detroit Red Wings, the Toronto Maple Leafs have entered the competition to acquire defenseman Jacob Trouba from the New York Rangers.
Jacob Trouba has been a pivotal figure in the New York Rangers' roster since his trade from the Winnipeg Jets. His appointment as the team's captain in 2022 was widely anticipated.
"Captain Trouba has a pretty nice ring to it. 🍎 "
However, Trouba appears to be on track to become the third consecutive New York Rangers captain to be traded. Following rumors of a trade to the Detroit Red Wings, the veteran defenseman included the team on his no-trade list.
"It was crazy to learn that Trouba, a Michigan native, added DET to his no-trade list when he heard that's where #NYR wanted to send him.
All legal, too, as he did it before he submitted it to NYR.
Reports getting out changed everything for NYR.
What an ugly situation."

With each team added to his no-trade list, the potential pool of suitors expands. Among the recent inclusions is the Toronto Maple Leafs, eager to fortify their defensive roster.
"With Jacob Trouba having added the Detroit Red Wings to his no-trade list, could the Toronto Maple Leafs swoop in to grab him?"
Despite Toronto having an opportunity to acquire Jacob Trouba, securing him will prove challenging, given his dedication to ensuring his wife retains her residency. However, with uncertainties surrounding his future in the NHL, Trouba could find himself joining the Maple Leafs in the near future.
