I'm really gonna miss Trouba on the Rangers. He is much better than what he gets credit for and a great locker room guy and
leader but he is not worth $8m a year. That contract is a bit of an anchor.
Momentum continues to build for the Rangers captain Jacob Trouba’s exit from New York after five seasons.

"Indeed, a well-placed source has told The Post that GM Chris Drury is working on a deal to send the captain to the Red Wings, a trade that the Michigan native would presumably accept after having played as a freshman for the Wolverines in 2012-13.
We are told the Rangers may retain $2.5 million per year on the two remaining seasons of Trouba’s $8M annual cap charge. That represents 31.25 percent retention that would also be applied to the $12M in salary Trouba has coming over the next two seasons."
