We’re doing a running Twitter-monitoring thread for Trouba watch 2.0, and the Fourth Period has an entry-worthy article regarding potential deals for the New York Rangers‘ soon-to-no-longer-be-captain:
On Thursday evening, the Rangers appear to have options from multiple teams available to them to trade Trouba to, but all four clubs are believed to be on his no-trade list and require him signing off on a deal. A decision is expected Friday by midday.
The Columbus Blue Jackets, Detroit Red Wings, Buffalo Sabres, San Jose Sharks and Ottawa Senators are among the teams that have spoken with the Rangers about Trouba. Sources have suggested Columbus is one of the teams that has a tentative deal on the table for him.
Trouba, 30, owns a 15-team no-trade list as part of his contract, which comes with an $8 million salary cap hit and expires after the 2025-26 season.
However, as first indicated by Arthur Staple of The Athletic earlier today, the Rangers have informed Trouba that he will be placed on waivers if he does not accept a trade to one of the teams Rangers management has agreed to, in principle.
And, in case you missed them…
CBJ, Det and Anaheim among the crop of teams circling around Trouba and the NYR. Complicated. Nothing going on between the Rangers and Ottawa Senators. Zilch.

Doesn't sound like Ottawa's currently in the mix. Columbus is one team with an offer pending sign off. Waiver wire is at 2pm… https://t.co/uVF4OZyYnO
