The trade situation becomes further complex as Trouba's wife begins her doctoral residency in New York, in addition to the birth of his first born son. Trouba is doing everything he can do remain in New York at this point.
Despite the setback, the Sabres remain interested in Kakko, hoping the young forward can help end their 13-year playoff drought. Buffalo and New York had nearly finalized a deal for both players, which would have significantly cleared cap space for the Rangers. Trouba may stay with the Rangers for another season if no trade occurs.
