New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba raised eyebrows at the start of the franchise's training camp when he suggested that this season could be the 'last crack' for the team’s core to win a Stanley Cup together.

On the first day of training camp, New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba addressed the trade rumors that surrounded him during the offseason, stating he wasn’t bothered by them and is fully committed to staying in New York.
