6. Jacob Trouba Unceremoniously Traded to the Ducks
Anaheim Ducks Receive: Jacob Trouba
New York Rangers Receive: Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NHL Draft
Since the offseason, the New York Rangers have reportedly wanted to move on from their former captain, Jacob Trouba. But with a no-trade clause, Trouba thought he was safe from being moved.
Instead, the Rangers threatened to put Trouba on waivers, meaning any team would have been free to claim him, and he'd have no say in where he ended up. Reluctantly, he accepted a trade to the Anaheim Ducks, leaving a sour taste in his mouth.
In exchange, New York received former first-round pick Urho Vaakanainen and a fourth-round selection in the upcoming NHL Draft.
