Goodrow had been a key bottom-six piece in the lineup while serving as an Assistant Captain for the team, a verifiable two-way forward for the Rangers. The decision to cut him loose must've been difficult.
But the team has to look forward, as they eye a deep Stanley Cup run in 2024-2025 and Goodrow wasn't a fit for that future, unfortunately.
With moving Goodrow, it is unclear as former President's Trophy winners whether they're a few pieces away from a Stanley Cup, but you have to assume the summer will be busy for the Rangers.
