The New York Rangers have placed forward Barclay Goodrow on waivers as a cap-saving measure in their first move of the offseason. Goodrow, who has a $3.641 million cap hit and is signed through 2027, contributed six goals in 16 playoff games this spring. If another team claims him, the Rangers will save the full $3.642 million cap hit. If unclaimed, the team can bury him and save $1.15 million for now, or consider a buyout, which would save $3.89 million next season but incur penalties for five seasons. This move is part of the Rangers' effort to create cap flexibility ahead of free agency, with potential savings of up to $12.8 million this summer and allowing youth talents to break through.

There's a handful of reasons why Barclay Goodrow is an intriguing add on the waiver wire. However, here's why the #NJDevils should avoid claiming the two-time Stanley Cup Champion⤵️ https://t.co/cKGp2vvE4H
If bought out, Goodrow will have many suitors on a reasonable short term deal (2 x $1.25/ 2 x $1.5, guessing). Contenders seeking playoff winners or rebuilding teams looking to add great pros to help their younger guys mature. https://t.co/V8JwN0i8HC

Depending on what happens with Barclay Goodrow (claimed, buried or bought out) the Rangers could have up to ~$12.8 million of space to work with this summer. Schneider and Lindgren RFA deals will eat into that, but it's still a good bit of flexibility.

#NYR buyout candidate Barclay Goodrow was placed on waivers today. Rangers are hoping to gauge the market on him. If someone claims him, full contract comes off the books. If not, they'll have to examine other options - including buyout with unique cap credit for next year.

Barclay Goodrow recorded six goals and two assists in the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. #NYR https://t.co/6pc1kAVDNO
Barclay Goodrow is on waivers.
If another team claims Goodrow, #NYR would save full $3.642M cap hit. If they end up buying him out, savings would actually be more next season ($3.89M), but it would come with lingering penalties for 5 seasons after that. https://t.co/g59y1RtpCL
This is a cap saving move. The Rangers hold Goodrow in high regard, but he has a $3,641,667 cap hit that's pricey for a fourth liner. If a team claims Goodrow, he's off the books. If not, the Rangers would still create some cap flexibility. https://t.co/HU0LaC6UdB
Just confirmed with a source that Goodrow is being placed on waivers. #NYR wants to see if another team claims him, otherwise they can bury him and save $1.15M for now. Buyout period hasn't begun yet, but that remains a possibility, as well.
It kinda stinks that Barclay Goodrow gets waived/possibly bought out after a strong playoffs but the Rangers need to open up cap room while allowing youth talents to break through.
The Rangers organization has a ton of respect for Barclay Goodrow - but they put him on waivers today as a cap saving measure. First big shocker of the offseason.
The @NYRangers put forward Barclay Goodrow on waivers. Cap-saving measure. Signed through 2027 at $3,641,667 AAV.
Goodrow has made a reputation for being a playoff player + contributed some big goals for the NYR this spring, but teams can only invest so much cap in that when they're up against it so.... https://t.co/fmkzRbAkQK
A bit more: Clearly, NYR doing this solely for cap reasons, seeing if there is another team interested. Goodrow 6 goals in 16 playoff games, that’s his time of year https://t.co/Pglu9PZ7v0
