Yesterday, the Rangers completed their top priority of the summer. By acquiring and signing Jacob Trouba to a 7 year deal worth $56M ($8M AAV) the Blueshirts upgraded their blue line for years to come. The transaction now puts the Rangers with basically zero cap space and three key pieces left to sign.
Trouba’s Sights Were Always NY
In an interview with Michael Obernauer on the Rangers website, Trouba confirmed what we reported back in June, that NY was his top destination. According to the interview, he and his fiancée did a little exercise of writing places they saw working and then shared it with each other.
