When the New York Rangers announced the trade of fourth-line winger Cody Mcleod to the Nashville Predators for a 2020 seventh-round pick, one thing became more evident in Rangerstown. The direction of this team is still in its early stages with plenty of indecisiveness in accordance with serving youth.
McLeod was picked up by New York off the waiver wire at the NHL All-Star break last season from the same Nashville Predators he was just traded to. He’s the definition of an NHL enforcer, which is to say he could skate well yet his purpose is to protect his players with strength and fighting skills.
