Former New York Rangers captain Jacob Trouba told reporters it was "a rite of passage" to be traded on Friday to the Anaheim Ducks.
"It's a rite of passage to get fired from MSG," Trouba said, per ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.
The Rangers traded Trouba to the Anaheim Ducks in a deal that cleared up cap space to sign star goaltender Igor Shesterkin to a record-breaking extension.
Trouba, who had already been scratched from Friday night's home game against the Pittsburgh Penguins prior to the trade, said he believed the team mishandled the transaction.
