Waived: Goodrow waived (claimed by San Jose Sharks)

[LOFIN]

Counterpoint: there are 11 teams currently below the salary cap floor. But yes, Drury would need to be willing to buy him out in this instance.

I think there are probably other cap dumps available where the team getting rid of their dump would pay assets for you to take on 'em

The cup finals could be over by tonight. The NHL calendar is moving fast. The draft is June 28-29. Next Friday-Saturday. NHL free agency starts two days later. Monday.

Sure, but it's still an unusual transaction at this particular time. Just because you can do it, doesn't mean a lot of people would. Kind of a silent rule not to try to overshadow the finals.

That said, I welcome it.

Drury clearing cap space for Showtime?

I’m here if you need to talk.

Seravalli at it again, I see. This ship has sailed, again, unless he's willing to do it on a Wheeler type contract.

I live a half hour from there. Never had the pie. New Haven’s way better.

Nauti Dolphin right around the corner from colony at the FFLD train station has the best pie around. NY/NH style that smashes them all!

Here’s Patrick Kane.

Take this garbage to the roster thread. Or actually don't. Let it rot out in the pasture.

4.) Trade him to a team not on his list.

Those are the teams that don't want him!!!

 

[leetch99]

Worth a shot....somebody like Sharks might take him and then it gives us a chance to keep Wennberg as a 4th line C ...maybe ? if the price for him is Ranger friendly and if not we could possibly use Edstrom at 4C .

 

[Harbour Dog]

Awesome!

I really hope we don't overextend on some signing at free agency. We're a playoff team; give the kids on the roster and the ones knocking on the door a chance, then reassess a little later in the season.

Playoffs have been running way too late since the new TV deals. If Edmonton pulls this off tonight, we're looking at Game 6 being 1 week before the draft. I'm sure that Florida and Edmonton are doing their prep work for free agency and the draft, but what happens if there is an injury tonight or any game after this? Might be tough to have your ducks in a row when it comes to next season. What if you were planning on trading that player that got hurt? Might destroy a deal.

We need to get back on a calendar where the season ends between 6/14-6/18 the latest.

The extended travel (warranted) gaps are adding to this because of how far away these two teams are from each other.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Its a good move.

I like Goody and he is a f***ing gamer. Came up huge in the playoffs. But this team didnt win a Cup, changes need to be made. It was a contract that needed to be purged like 2 years ago.

Drury putting him on waivers to see if a team bites (hopefully) before a buyout imo. Kind of an odd process - I dont know if anyone will unless this was contrived for a certain team to grab him.

However, I'm a little more interested in what hes planning to do with the added cap space then how and where Goodrow ends up.

How about going back to ending when MLB season opens.

 

[Vitto79]

Have to believe there's more coming than just this. Not sure that Drury is a buyout kinda GM - he might just have him in Hartford to start the year if there's no trade to be made.

There are worse guys you could have in the bullpen, that's for sure.

Doesn’t make sense Goodrow would just play

1.1 off add in say 800 k. That’s nothing

I’m hoping a creative move where he’s claimed then they likely deal an Edstrom to that team for nothing

Don't want Wennberg back. Maybe he'd produce more with a full training camp and year with the team, but I don't see him taking league minimum either.

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Please no Kane.

Please

Laf moves to Goodrows PK. Timing is wierd....

At league minimum we would have to consider it .

 

[Dijock94]

Edstrom is a good replacement for 4C with Brodzinski being the 5C

Yeah gimme Z Jones in this lineup. Think he’ll & we’ll be fine if we start him full time beginning game 1.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

He’s played his last game here. If Drury doesn’t have a team lined up to claim him, there’s zero reason to not buy him out.

The get a cap credit this year and pretty much every other year is negligible except for 26-27. Which that year, you’re basically paying the amount to have him play for you.

It’s a no brainer, hopefully Drury sacks up and does it

 

[Clark Kellogg]

If a GM of a bottom feeder team that has cap space and has retention slots left then this is a no brainer to claim Goodrow.
Trade him at the 2025 deadline with retention and the return should be worth the risk.

Kakko goes there if he’s still here IMHO.
