He can ask Rangers captain Jacob Trouba for advice on what to expect.Trouba played the very first 6 seasons of his job with the Jets 2013 19 prior to they traded him to the Rangers on June 17,  2019. He played his first video game in Winnipeg against the Jets on Feb. 11,  2020."

His youngsters have friends there. It'll be interesting to go back and see people but it's also nice getting on the other side and betting them." Wheeler will certainly have his family other half,  Sam,  and their 3 children; 11 year old Louie,  8 years of age Leni and 6 year old Mase with him in Winnipeg. They do not usually take place road journeys with him,  but they weren't about to miss this one.Sam,  Louie,  Leni and Mase showed up in Winnipeg prior to the Rangers did so they can see old buddies,  a number of whom will certainly go to the game.They reside in Greenwich,  Connecticut currently Jaroslav Halak Jersey,  however,  as Wheeler said of the youngsters,  "Until we relocated right here,  [Winnipeg] was all they knew."

Down the road I anticipate cheering for them." For now,  he's attempting to obtain changed to his brand-new teammates and team in New York.He got here weeks prior to training school began to obtain accustomed and comfortable,  however it hasn't yet equated right into production.Wheeler,  that had 55 factors 16 goals,  39 assists in 72 games last season,  has no factors in his first eight games with the Rangers 6 2 0 https://www.newyorkrangersprostore.com/artemi-panarin-jersey,  playing appropriate wing on the 3rd line with facility Vincent Trocheck and novice left wing Will Cuylle."
