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.
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.
