"I want to sincerely thank Jacob for his contributions to the Rangers and our community," general manager Chris Drury said in a statement. "Jacob has been an example on and off the ice for our organization and played a major role in our success over the last several years. Since coming to New York five years ago, and serving as Captain for the last three seasons, he has demonstrated grit, toughness, and tremendous leadership and we can't thank Jacob enough for everything he has done for the Rangers."
Trouba had been held out of Rangers practice and Friday night's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins for "roster management purposes," as the team sought to move him.
The Rangers presented him with several possible trades. The Red Wings, Columbus Blue Jackets, Ottawa Senators and Buffalo Sabres had talked to the Rangers about Trouba recently, sources told ESPN's Emily Kaplan.
