3/5/26: 11:51AM: Chris Johnston said on TSN of Trocheck, “the ask right now is still deemed too rich for some of the contenders and what I can tell you is the Minnesota Wild, for the time being at least, have stepped back in these talks and that is not to say that they can’t get going again between now and Friday but it is hanging out there as a possibility that the Rangers may not be able to get the ask needed to move on from Trocheck. Right now it seems like New York is having a tough time quite getting the price they are looking for and there are multiple centers out there.”
11:28AM: The Athletic says that the Rangers price for Trocheck may be too much for Minnesota and that their chances of landing him are “fading.”
