New York TimesTARRYTOWN, N.Y. — The Rangers dressing room has heard plenty of the rumors swirling during the team’s recent 1-6-0 skid. The Rangers are sitting captain Jacob Trouba for Friday’s game against the Pittsburgh Penguins for what they are calling “roster management.” The decision almost certainly means Trouba will be traded or put on waivers at some point Friday. So this is the decision I made.” Laviolette said he spoke with Trouba, the Rangers’ leadership group and the entire team about the decision. Wishing him the best with dealing with all this stuff.” Added Mika Zibanejad: “As a player, as a teammate, as a friend, as a human being, obviously we love him to death.” Miller called Trouba “a huge part of our team” and said the Rangers would miss him against the Penguins on Friday. Asked shortly before walking away from the podium if Trouba has played his final game for the Rangers, Laviolette said simply that he’s not in the lineup against the Penguins.
