The New York Rangers have placed veteran forward Barclay Goodrow on waivers.
The move is likely to see if any team will take on his contract for free and explore their options. With three years left on his deal and an annual $3,641,667 cap hit, Goodrow is a prime candidate to be moved this summer if the Rangers want to clear cap space for new talent in NHL free agency.
Despite a subpar regular season, Goodrow shined in the playoffs, tallying six goals, two assists, and eight points in 16 games. The 31-year-old forward is valuable for his two-way play and versatility.
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.
Goodrow is not just a playoff performer but also a two-time Stanley Cup champion, a quality that shouldn't be underestimated.
Goodrow has 3 years at $3.642M Cap Hit remaining.
A buyout cap hit would be:
Year 1 -$247K Cap Credit
Year 2 $1.0M
Year 3 $3.5M
Year 4-6 $1.11M

However, trading or buying him out would free up significant cap space. It appears that's the rout they prefer to go.
