Rangers trade Jacob Trouba to Ducks for Urho Vaakanainen and draft pick

The New York Rangers traded captain Jacob Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round draft pick. This move allows the Rangers to free up cap space while acquiring a younger player. Anaheim reportedly wanted to include defenseman Cam Fowler in the trade, but the Rangers declined. They chose to maintain their cap flexibility by not taking on Fowler's contract. Fowler remains with the Ducks as they rebuild. His future with the team is uncertain, as he has expressed a desire to compete for a championship.
