Rangers to scratch captain Jacob Trouba with trade or waivers placement looming
Trouba, who has a year left on his contract at an $8 million cap hit, did not want to leave the Rangers this summer, when general manager Chris Drury was looking to alter the veteran core of the team. Trouba’s wife, Kelly, is in the final year of her medical residency at a New York hospital and Trouba did not want to uproot her.
