Jacob Trouba was on the NHL Network on Wednesday and said:

What changed for you this past season, “I think there were a mix of a lot of things. Comfort level is something that I’ve talked about before, it takes me a little bit to get comfortable and my first few years were a little overwhelming for me, coming to New York, different city, learning how to live a different lifestyle, pretty much. Slowly it’s progressed, getting more comfortable around teammates, staff, everybody and kind of found my stride and got back to who I was as a hockey player and what makes me good.”

6:31 PM: Gerard Gallant spoke on MSG after the press conference and said:

Does his leadership style remind you of anyone, “That’s a tough one. He reminds me of an Adam Foote kind of guy, competitive guy, hard working guy, played hard every shift. That type of guy, I coached Adam a little bit in Columbus, those same type of qualities, as a defenseman also. Another guy is Luke Richardson, a captain of mine in Columbus also, character, leadership, plays the game hard every night and prepares himself to play every game.”

6:49 AM: Former Rangers goalie Kevin Weekes tweets that he is told that Jacob Trouba will be named the next Captain of the Rangers “within 24 hours.”

Trouba was reportedly “about” to be named Captain prior to last season before someone “above” Gerard Gallant, and possibly Chris Drury, decided to go with the six alternate Captains.

The Rangers have been without a Captain since Ryan McDonagh was traded at the 2018 Trade Deadline to Tampa Bay.

Jacob Trouba was on the In The Crease podcast and said (ESPN):

On the schedule and what the league is going through, “everyone is kind of in the same boat, it’s very fluid, I guess. You are kind of finding stuff out every day, every couple of hours, waiting for a phone call. Everybody is going through it, a challenging time not just for hockey, but the world right now. We’ll get through it and roll with the punches is our attitude.”
