Rangers Bench Trouba Amid Trade Speculation and Roster Moves

TL;DR
The New York Rangers are sitting captain Jacob Trouba for their game against the Pittsburgh Penguins as they explore trade options for the defenseman, who has a 15-team no-trade clause. The Rangers have discussed potential trades with teams like the Detroit Red Wings and Buffalo Sabres.
