A reliable NHL source has confirmed that New York Rangers general manager Chris Drury is working the phones with Red Wings GM Steve Yzerman regarding a block buster trade that would Rangers captain Jacob Trouba to hockey town.
We are told the Rangers may retain $2.5 million per year on the two remaining seasons of Trouba's $8M annual cap charge. That represents 31.25 percent retention that would also be applied to the $12M in salary Trouba has coming over the next two seasons.
