Jacob Trouba's tenure as captain of the New York Rangers has come to an end as he is set to join the Anaheim Ducks. The Rangers will receive defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round draft pick in return. This trade comes amid a disappointing season for New York, which has struggled with cohesion and performance.

By offloading Trouba's $8 million cap hit, the Rangers aim to reshape their roster for the future. Vaakanainen, a young defenseman, offers potential for improvement on the blue line, while the Ducks hope Trouba can regain his form in a less pressurized environment.
