This is wild:
*Trouba didn't want to be traded because his wife is doing her residency at a teaching hospital in NYC and wouldn't waive his no-trade clause this summer because of that
*the Rangers told him (earlier this week I guess) "we will scratch you if you don't accept a trade" and then "we will waive you if you don't accept a trade"
*the Rangers already did the waiver thing to someone else (Barclay Goodrow) recently with with a no-trade clause (this is NOT the same as a no movement clause which would prevent waivers and transfer to the AHL)
I'm not a fan of him as a player (nor do I like Verbeek's direction for the Ducks), but he seems like a decent person and this was a really nasty thing the Rangers did. His wife finishes July of 2025! You could have waited out the season! Sucks to suck for you, but you signed him to the damn contract in the first place.
