Jacob Troubles
The drama is high in New York as the Rangers navigate a potentially tricky situation with team captain Jacob Trouba. Reports emerged over the weekend that the Rangers were looking to move the defenseman to the Detroit Red Wings, but Trouba’s no-trade clause may prove to be a significant obstacle.
