Trouba on being involved in a fresh round of trade talk: "You've got to kind of block all that out and just focus on playing hockey."

Amid a three-game losing streak and sluggish start to the season, Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury recently told all 31 other teams that a plethora of the team’s longest-tenured players are available for trade, including the 30-year-old Trouba, who is currently the team’s captain, The Post’s Mollie Walker confirmed.

After practice Tuesday, Trouba said: "For me, it's part of the game. I'm happy to be here. Love this group. Love playing here."
