With training camp on the horizon, Jacob Trouba is ready to put the past behind him.
It’s been a crazy summer for Jacob Trouba who’s had to endure multiple trade rumors involving his name and an offseason of uncertainty, but the veteran defenseman is happy he remains a member of the Rangers.
“I’m happy to be here,” Trouba said via The Athletic. “I’m excited to go into the season. Great opportunity ahead of us.”
Trouba’s name was thrown around in trade rumors all summer as it was even reported that there was a deal in the works that would have sent him to the Detroit Red Wings. However, nothing ultimately came of those reports.
The 30-year-old defenseman enters his sixth season with the Rangers and it’s a big one. Trouba comes in with a chip on his shoulder to prove he is valuable to the team not just as a leader but from a skill standpoint.
This past season, Trouba recorded three goals, 19 assists and 22 points in 69 games while averaging 21:15 minutes.
Trouba is a professional and knows that this offseason was just part of the business and he is still laser focused on helping deliver a Stanley Cup to New York.
