The roster freeze deadline may have been 3pm yesterday, but most of the trades were announced well after 3pm. Naturally, the Rangers fell into that boat as well, with a pair of trades being announced after the deadline. The first trade was acquiring the rights to Barclay Goodrow from Tampa for a 7th round pick. The second trade was sending Brett Howden to Vegas for a 4th round pick and Nick DeSimone. As per usual, I have some thoughts.
1. First on Goodrow, the big trade. This is a nothing trade for the Rangers.
