Anyways, here’s the lineup for the Braves: Michael Harris II has moved […]
When the New York Rangers decided it was time to move on from their captain, Jacob Trouba, midway through the 2024-25 season, it was the Anaheim Ducks' gain. Adding a veteran leader with a punishing physical presence to their blueline turned out to be the next step in the team launching itself out of its rebuild and into serious playoff contention. But after a year and a half there, Trouba is now an unrestricted free agent. He's coming off an $8 million AAV over the past seven years, and...

While the […]
