Vincent Trocheck talks looming trade from Rangers as NHL deadline nears | amNewYork
"I feel like I'm as involved as I can be. I only have a 12-team no-trade clause; it's not like I have full protection, and I need to be in on every single phone call. Me and [Rangers general manager Chris Drury] have a great relationship. He's been very open, honest, and transparent with me."
"Yeah, it's not a secret. They are on my no-trade because family is important to me, and my family is on the East Coast. I've been doing this my whole life. If I get traded, I'm fine. I'm not worried about myself. I'm more worried about my family."
"This last month I've been trying to take everything in, with the Olympics, that was one of those moments I was trying to sit in the moment and take it all in. Good chance I'll never get to do that again. It's the same thing now. The older my kids get, the more they start to realize what's going on in hockey."
Vincent Trocheck, a 32-year-old New York Rangers veteran, expects to be traded before the Friday NHL trade deadline. He maintains a 12-team no-trade clause and actively participates in discussions with general manager Chris Drury regarding potential deals. Trocheck's primary concern centers on his family's relocation, requiring any trade destination to be on the East Coast. He has already discussed the possibility with his children. Trocheck brings valuable assets to contending teams, including gritty play, scoring ability, and penalty-kill expertise. Recently, he contributed to Team USA's gold medal performance at the Winter Olympics in Milan-Cortina, where the team maintained a perfect penalty kill. Trocheck emphasizes cherishing significant moments with his family as his children grow older and become more aware of his hockey career.
