The Anaheim Ducks have added former New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba.
The hockey world turned their sights directly to Broadway and the New York Rangers today as speculation started to swirl about their captain Jacob Trouba. The Rangers have been dangling veteran players on the trade market for a few weeks, and they may have finally found a taker.the Rangers are sending Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and a 2025 fourth-round draft pick.
Offical trade call with the league hasn't happened yet, so still pending that approval, but it will be defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round pick to the Rangers for Trouba.Trouba’s current deal carries an $8 million price tag through the 2025-26 season. The Ducks were one of only a few teams across the NHL who could take on his deal without needing a different cost-cutting move.
Trouba has been with the Rangers since 2019 and quickly became a leader for the organization. In 364 games with the Blue Shirts, Trouba scored 31 goals and 105 assists for 136 total points and was named captain ahead of the 2022-23 season.Before arriving in New York, Trouba played six seasons with the Winnipeg Jets. Over the course of 772 career games, he has 73 goals and 242 assists for 315 total points.
Vaakanainen meanwhile has a much shorter track record in professional hockey since being the 18th overall draft pick by the Boston Bruins in 2017. In 141 career games at the NHL level, he has a goal and 25 total points.In Anaheim, Trouba will join a team loaded with young talent and possibly a bright future ahead of them. He and Ducks captain Radko Gudas are going to be a frightening defensive pair to play against.
