The Rangers took an official step toward retooling the lineup Friday, with captain Jacob Trouba being traded to the Ducks.
Moving Trouba is expected to be just the first move in the midst of the club’s downward spiral, but there are a few players who the Blueshirts are currently unable to trade.
Mika Zibanejad has not waived his no-move clause (NMC), The Post has learned, which means the Swedish center is not going anywhere for the time being.
Additionally, Artemi Panarin and Vincent Trocheck have NMCs.
Adam Fox, who signed a seven-year, $66.5 million deal in Nov. 2021, also has a NMC that kicks for the next two seasons before it turns into a no-trade list the final two years.
