The New York Rangers pulled off the first big move of the offseason, offloading veteran forward Barclay Goodrow to the San Jose Sharks via waivers on Wednesday.
Goodrow is heading into year four of a six-year contract with a $3,641,667 cap hit. Though Goodrow owns a 15-team no-trade clause, such a clause does not apply to waivers. If Goodrow had the Sharks on his list, it's a brilliant workaround by Rangers general manager Chris Drury.
The Rangers' signing of Goodrow was ill-informed from the start.
