Overview
- Trocheck said he prefers an Eastern Conference destination to remain close to family and confirmed Western teams are on his no‑trade list.
- The Rangers are shopping the 32-year-old center as part of a deadline retool and are pursuing picks and prospects ahead of March 6.
- He is in year four of a seven-year, $5.625 million AAV contract with a 12-team no‑trade clause, factors that shape the price and permissible landing spots.
- This season he has 12 goals and 26 assists in 45 games with heavy usage, and he recently won Olympic gold with Team USA as a faceoff and penalty-kill specialist.
- Reported suitors include the Penguins, Hurricanes and Red Wings, though any deal remains contingent on his no‑trade protections and the Rangers’ asking price.
