The Rangers surprised many by waiving Barclay Goodrow to potentially make a pre-arranged deal with San Jose for a cap hit relief, leading to speculation about a trade for Mario Ferraro. The move clears cap space for the Rangers to pursue other options this off-season.

With Goodrow gone, the Rangers' 4th line roster includes players like Matt Rempe, Jimmy Vesey, and Adam Edstrom, potentially shifting their lineup dynamics. The team may look to add depth pieces through free agency to bolster their roster.

Reflecting on Goodrow's tenure, questions arise over the impact of his contract and the choices made in the team's offseason moves, prompting discussions about how different decisions could have affected the team's performance.
