Larry Brooks of the NY Post: The New York Rangers and New York Islanders are among the teams aggressively going after Winnipeg Jets defenseman Jacob Trouba.
The New Jersey Devils are also interested.
The cost to acquire Trouba is high in both trading for him as well as signing him to an extension.
The Jets haven’t given teams permission yet to speak with Trouba’s agent to see what he’s looking for. It could take seven years and up to $7.5 million.
A dozen teams could be interested. The cost is believed to be a first-round pick and a pair of legit prospects or young NHLers.
