Cody McLeod News

The Predators have acquired Cody McLeod from the Rangers for a 2020 seventh-round pick.

McLeod is one of the few remaining pugilists in the NHL, who was with the Predators last season before being claimed off of waivers by the Rangers. McLeod has one goal and 60 PIMS in 31 games this season and returns to Nashville, where his family remained after being claimed off of waivers.

McLeod is expected to miss 4-6 weeks with a fractured hand.

McLeod scored his first goal of the season on Wednesday but left the contest after suffering a fractured hand in a fight with Ross Johnston. McLeod was mostly just jamming up the Rangers’ depth chart, so expect his ice-time to be given out to some younger forwards over the next month.

The Avalanche signed Cody McLeod to a three-year, $4 million dollar contract extension.

McLeod, 30, had five goals and eight assists (13 points) in 71 games with the Avs last season. The only true fantasy value McLeod might have lies in his PIMs, he had 122 last season with a career high 189.
