Predators' Cody McLeod: No more Nashville reunions
Cody McLeod won't be retained by Nashville in free agency, Adam Vingan of The Athletic reports.There's a good chance the aging enforcer has played his last NHL game, as McLeod's skill set simply isn't valued in today's NHL. He turns 35 later this month and was held to a single point in 38 games between the Rangers and Nashville Predators last season, adding 67 PIM.

Predators' Cody McLeod: Riding pine
Cody McLeod has been a healthy scratch in 13 of 20 games -- and eight of the last nine -- since joining the Nashville Predators via trade in February.McLeod has just a single goal in 38 combined games with the Rangers and Predators this season, and he's averaging a paltry 6:29 in ice time -- the lowest TOI of his career. Unfortunately for McLeod, his toughness and willingness to drop the gloves are no longer in demand in the NHL, as there has been a shift in the past few seasons towards skill and speed -- two attributes which McLeod sorely lacks. Unless the Preds run into injury trouble, he is unlikely to see any significant ice time down the stretch and into the playoffs, and you likely will not see him back with the team next season.

Predators' Cody McLeod: Moving back to Nashville
The Rangers have sent Cody McLeod back to the Nashville Predators in exchange for a 2020 seventh-round pick, Pierre LeBrun and Darren Dreger of TSN report.McLeod spent two seasons (2016-18) in Nashville, adding seven points and 155 hits over a 54-game span. While he's strictly a fourth-line grinder in charge of knocking opponents off the puck, McLeod should benefit from the move back to a contending team, especially when it's time for him to be unleashed during the playoffs.

Rangers' Cody McLeod: Could play Saturday
Cody McLeod (hand) is day-to-day with his injury, Brett Cyrgalis of the New York Post reports.This effectively rules out McLeod for Thursday's game against the Blue Jackets, but the team reportedly is holding out hope that he'll be able to give it a go against host Nashville on Saturday.

Rangers' Cody McLeod: Still 2-3 weeks away
Cody McLeod (hand) is expected to miss at least 2-3 more weeks before returning to the lineup, Colin Stephenson of Newsday reports.McLeod has already been out of action since Nov. 21 (a stretch of eight games) and now appears set to miss the remainder of 2018. Even once cleared to return to action, the winger could be hard-pressed to crack the lineup given the team's forward depth and the emergence of Filip Chytil and Brett Howden.
