Reports indicate that the anticipated trade to the Detroit Red Wings didn't happen after Trouba submitted his 15-team no-trade list to GM Chris Drury. Interestingly, the deal that was speculated earlier, where the Rangers would retain $2.5 million of Trouba's $8 million cap hit for the next two years, wasn't actually on the table. It's important to note that Trouba didn't reject this deal; it simply wasn't offered.
According to Larry Brooks of the NY Post, another factor keeping Trouba in New York longer could be his personal situation. When Trouba signed his current seven-year, $56 million contract in 2019, part of the deal was a five-year no-movement clause that was set to end in sync with his wife Kelly Tyson-Trouba completing her residency at a New York hospital. However, her residency was deferred for a year, and now it's scheduled to end on July 1, 2025. They've also recently welcomed their first child, Axel, into the world.
Given these personal developments, Trouba won't likely be keen to accept a trade, even to a team on his approved list, if it means being separated from his wife and their nine-month-old son during this critical time for their family.
