The New York Rangers surprised many today by placing veteran forward and alternate captain Barclay Goodrow on waivers.

Goodrow signed a long-term deal with the Rangers after winning a Stanley Cup with the Tampa Bay Lightning. While he is known for being a gritty bottom-six forward and a great locker room presence, his performance has declined with age. Additionally, his $3.64 million cap hit is difficult to manage.

Barclay Goodrow has three more seasons on his contract carrying a $3.6M cap hit. With the #NYR    needing to clear cap space, the highly-respected forward is a free asset to any other organization.

A bit more:
Clearly, NYR doing this solely for cap reasons, seeing if there is another team interested.
Goodrow 6 goals in 16 playoff games, that's his time of year

More to come...
