Despite a multitude of offseason trade rumors, Jacob Trouba is happy to remain with the New York Rangers and holds no ill will against the team nor its general manager Chris Drury.

It was widely reported that Drury tried to get early access to Trouba’s 15-team no-trade list prior to July 1, hoping to deal the Rangers captain and free up money ahead of NHL free agency. Trouba provided the list right before the July 1 deadline, likely killing any chance the Rangers had of moving him and his $8 million salary cap hit the next two seasons.

Now it’s August, the Rangers roster appears set after defenseman Ryan Lindgren agreed to a one-year, $4.5 million contract ahead of salary arbitration this week, and Trouba is preparing for his sixth training camp with the Blueshirts in September.

“It was fine,” Trouba told The Athletic in a Q&A on Thursday. “It’s part of the business. I knew that part of my contract turned this year (to a no-trade list), and I submitted a list. That’s what I did. All the other noise was pretty much noise.

“I’m happy to be here. I’m excited to go into the season. Great opportunity ahead of us.”

Through the first five seasons of his current seven-year deal, Trouba had a no-movement clause and that changed to a list of 15 teams the 30-year-old could be not traded to. Reportedly, he included his hometown Detroit Red Wings as one of the teams on his no-trade list to squash a potential trade between them and the Rangers.

But he insisted there are no bad feelings between him and the Rangers.

“Yeah, they were great the whole time,” Trouba explained. “Even going back years prior, me and ‘Dru’ have always had a good relationship. We can speak to each other when we want to. He has a lot of trust in me, I think, and I’m grateful for that. We’re excited to get started this year.”

Vince Mercogliano of USA Today reported July 1 that Trouba was “not pleased with the way this has gone down.” It had become a personal matter to Trouba since he didn’t want to be traded and be forced to move because his wife Kelly Tyson-Trouba still has one year remaining to complete her medical residency in New York.

Now that the Troubas remain in New York, all seems to be forgiven.

Jacob Trouba ‘excited’ for upcoming season with Rangers

Trouba had some obvious ups and downs last season and he was widely criticized for his play in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, particularly against the Florida Panthers in the Eastern Conference Final. He finished the postseason with one goal and six assists and was minus-three over the final four games of the conference final, when the Rangers lost the final three games (each by one goal) after taking a 2-1 series lead.
