The Rangers just announced that they have signed free agent Cody McLeod to a one-year deal.

McLeod finished out last season with the Blueshirts, finishing off his season on Broadway after being claimed on waivers back in January. For a team that is rebuilding, this signing does not make a whole lot of sense. I understand having an “enforcer” to protect the young guns that are expected to be on the Rangers roster next season, but they had a guy in Matt Beleskey already in the organization.
