The Rangers have claimed 33 year old forward Cody McLeod off waivers, likely putting an end to the Daniel Catenacci tenure in New York. McLeod adds #toffness to the lineup, but not much else. After spending most of his career in Colorado, he’s been in Nashville the past two seasons. In 713 NHL games, he has 124 points and 1524 PIMs.

I’ll admit the Rangers are a little vanilla, something exacerbated without Chris Kreider in the lineup. But McLeod doesn’t move the needle, other than being the new Tanner Glass. Actually…I’d rather have Glass.

McLeod has size and willingness to get to the corners, which is fine. But he doesn’t do much else. He’s not good with or without the puck. He’s not a good skater. Anything more than a few hits would be gravy, but don’t expect much.
