Preds reacquire McLeod from Rangers for 2020 7th-rounder

The Nashville Predators acquired winger Cody McLeod from the New York Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for a seventh-round pick in 2020, the team announced.

It's Nashville's second deal of the day after adding center Brian Boyle from the New Jersey Devils for a second-round pick earlier in the afternoon.

Before joining the Rangers, McLeod spent parts of two seasons with the Predators, suiting up in 54 combined games during 2016-17 and 2017-18.

In 31 games this season, the 34-year-old McLeod has recorded one goal and 60 penalty minutes while averaging less than seven minutes of ice time per contest. He'll give the Predators more forward depth with Austin Watson suspended indefinitely.
