Jacob Trouba, captain of the New York Rangers, tried to downplay the impact of hearing his name on the trading block after GM Chris Drury put it there. The Rangers are open to trades involving Trouba and Chris Kreider, but the goal may have been to motivate the team rather than move the players. Trouba remains focused on playing hockey and is not seeking reassurance from Drury. Despite recent struggles, Trouba is committed to the team and staying positive. The team has been struggling defensively, giving up high-danger scoring chances and losing three straight games. Coach Peter Laviolette wants the veteran players to work through the challenges and improve. Trouba, who has faced trade rumors before, remains optimistic and dedicated to the Rangers. The team will face the Carolina Hurricanes and Philadelphia Flyers in their upcoming games, and Trouba’s leadership will be essential in turning their season around.
