New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba will not participate in Friday night's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins due to 'roster management purposes', highlighting the team's trade strategy.
The Rangers approached Trouba with multiple trade proposals for his acceptance, while also mentioning the option of placing him on waivers to potentially remove his control over a trade.
Rangers' general manager Chris Drury communicated to all 31 other teams that they were open for business, with Trouba and veteran forward Chris Kreider being prime trade options.
Currently at fourth in the Metropolitan Division with a record of 13-10-1, the Rangers are struggling, having experienced six losses in seven games, prompting their trade discussions.
