Captain Jake!! Jacob Trouba named captain of the New York Rangers!!!!

After more than four years, the Rangers have named a new captain: Jacob Trouba! Why this decision shouldn’t come as surprise, especially considering how the Rangers have constructed their team in recent seasons. Did the Rangers make the right choice, or should Chris Kreider and/or Mika Zibanejad have been considered? Biggest takeaways from the press conference with Trouba, Gerard Gallant and Chris Drury. The biggest reason why Trouba is a good choice: it’s what the players wanted. Why Artemi Panarin, Mika Zibanejad, Chris Kreider and Barclay Goodrow should all remain alternate captains. Talking about Panarin’s hilarious congratulations video to Trouba. Does Trouba becoming captain guarantee that he will play out the last four years of his contract with the Rangers?? Also, Tyler Motte is still a free agent!
