The Rangers have placed veteran forward Barclay Goodrow on waivers.
If I were Penguins GM Kyle Dubas, I’d be sorely tempted to bite. Goodrow can play all three forward positions and employs a banging, grinding style. Although by no means a heavyweight or accomplished fighter, Goodrow won’t hesitate to come to a teammates aid. He’s got some size, too (6’2” 204).
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize our largely benign Pens could greatly benefit from a player of Goodrow’s ilk, especially in light of the hard-charging Panthers’ success this postseason.
Alas, there are drawbacks.
