**SPEAKER_1** (0:00)
On July 11th, Vincent Trocheck is on the move. He was traded to the Mammoth last week, and it's a big deal because, get this, he actually waived his no-trade clause. Last year, Utah was reportedly on that list, but something changed. The Rangers got a solid defenseman in Sean Durzi, plus some future pieces like prospect Cole Beaudoin and a third round pick in 2027 This trade wouldn't have happened a year ago. Trocheck had a longer no-trade list back then, but it shrunk for this upcoming season.
When he became open to heading west, the Rangers saw their chance to move a player who had been in trade rumors for a while. He had a career year with the Rangers, putting up 25 goals and 77 points, and even made the All-Star team again. He was a key part of their power play, but after missing the playoffs the last two years and dealing with injuries, it became clear a change might be coming. Trocheck himself talked about how tough it was, especially with his family on the East Coast. He even sat out a game, waiting for the call that could end his time with the Rangers. But the Mammoth's young corps, including players like Clayton Keller and Logan Cooley, convinced him they made the playoffs in their second season, and Trocheck sees a real chance to win there. He's even willing to play on the wing, showing he's committed to making it work. The Mammoth's general manager is excited, saying that adding Trocheck and Anders Lee brings them closer to competing for a Stanley Cup. It seems like a fresh start for Trocheck, and a big move for the Mammoth as they build their team.
That's the story for today.
