Waived: Goodrow waived (claimed by San Jose Sharks)

[bhamill]

Shoutout to the dude on like page 3 that floated SJS claiming him. Either it was a great guess or Mollie read and jocked your idea!

10th post on the thread! Just made sense.

Mike Grier seems to be about as bad at his job as it would take, so that part of it is believeable lol.

I see a lot of people say this. I'm curious what it is based on. In the 2 years he has been GM, what has Grier done, or not done, that makes him bad?

Mike grier，time to pay the OBC fee and do your former boss a favor

I just feel like he's failed to get strong value for some of the prime time assets he's traded.

So who is coming back? Vlasic? A veteran LD at the end of his career making a couple of runs with the Rangers? Is he even good anymore?

 

[NickyFotiu]

He’d be going back to a place where he started his career with a shit load more money. And he’s not getting sent to Winnipeg, it’s the Bay Area

He’ll be just fine. If anything it’s a great day for Goodrow

Not a great day for Goody since Goody didn't want it but 99.9% of the people in the world would like to be in that situation.

Rangers would be taking on another $3M+ of cap hit in that scenario since SJ can't retain anymore contracts. Unless they're giving us 14OA, I can't see that happening

Goodrow was a solid soldier for us.. instrumental in rangers being harder to play against and shifting the culture away from the rangers being a softer team then they are now.
He had a great send off with this past postseason, I wish him well in the future. I’m glad the deal Drury signed him to will give financial stability for him and his family for his years of hard work.
For a young team like SJ, Goodrow should really help their locker room. I wish him well.
Having said all of that, rangers now cannot afford to pay a 4th line guy 3.6 mill per…
We’re quickly approaching the time where every dollar counts. We have Edstrom, who needs a roster spot and should be this teams next long term 4C…
They also have other young players coming up that need the same opportunity.
He’s on an ELC so he’ll be cheap for the rest of this deal, and the next 1 he signs.
Thanks for the memories Goodie and good luck.

The same could be said about Gorton and Drury.

I can’t see it even if they were giving up the 14OA.

Probably gonna happen but don’t be shocked to see someone like Jones to SJ for nothing

Jones is pretty much a lock for our top 6 next year. Can't see him dealt in that fashion

If the Rangers couldn’t find a trade partner within Goodrow’s list, he has no trade value and nothing will be coming back from anyone who claims him. And the Rangers are looking to shed problems, not take back a different problem. At least that’s how I see it.

Not like they want too but they owe SJ if Goodrow is claimed

Maybe Rangers take Ruuta?

 

[MrAlmost]

I don't know if he is claimed. Feel like the SJ speculation just comes from this board. Haha

this makes sense to me as 3rd pair D or 7th.

When will we find out if he was claimed?

2 EST

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

If he doesn't get claimed it seems highly likely that he will be bought out

 

[Mac n Gs]

Eh, I'd probably do it if we had the space to eat additional money. Vlasic is cooked, but 14OA could be a very useful trade chip or be used to help add a much needed higher-end D prospect to the pipeline. Won't happen though since they can't eat an additional $3M

 

[SickNice]

Why would anyone claim him with his contract? He's gonna get bought out

 

[JCProdigy]

Part of the reasoning for SJS is that they have to reach the salary cap floor as they are well under it even after resigning all their FAs. No high end FA will likely go there right now so an experienced player with a decent cap hit might be amenable to them. Also keeps good terms with Rangers/Drury for Grier for future trade possibilities. GMing in RL.

As an aside. Moving Goodrow opens up a PK spot for KK to sink or swim in if they want to get him more involved like Lavi claims.

 

[bobbop]

Not if he put the Sharks on his Do Not Trade list.

For Gods sake, his wife is from San Jose. He played there for years.
