Barclay Goodrow signing was easy part of tricky Rangers makeover
NY Post
The Rangers have made the financial commitment to Barclay Goodrow for what, by any objective measure, is an overpayment at a cap hit of $3.64 million per season on a six-year, $21.85 million contract.
But having made that leap after sending a seventh-rounder to Tampa Bay for the rights to Goodrow, then an impending free-agent winger, it now becomes incumbent upon general manager Chris Drury to make the commitment to surround him with complementary players while forming a dedicated checking line. That will create ripples throughout the organization as the GM attempts to remake the Rangers into a more playoff-compatible team that likely will feature less raw talent than the roster assembled by former GM Jeff Gorton, but will be more balanced and better equipped to compete against the Islanders of the world.More Related News
