Waived: Goodrow waived (claimed by San Jose Sharks)

[lakeshirts37]

What are we expected to do with the extra cap space? Make a splash for a 1 LD? Or 1st line winger?

overpaying Lindgren

Yeah kind of my fear right now.

The success of this offseason kind of hinges on what they do with him. Any kind of extension and it’s a failure.

Now there are other things they can do that would also result in a failed offseason but that would kill anything instantly.

Wow, this is gigantic.

We always talk about these scenarios in the summer regarding bad contracts but we never see any of them come to fruition.

Im kinda shocked TBH. I mean it was all plausible but things like this just normally dont happen. The player, the bad contract. Other than a buyout theres really no other way to get out of these things.

Kudos to Drury for finding a way to get this done, maybe he pulled some strings for Grier to get him that gig out west and he cashed in the IOU?

Regardless this an A+++ move

Tro was decent, but got more banged up and less effecitve as the series wore on. I mean, you could say that about anyone on the roster. I love Troch but we need bigger, sturdier guys around him for him to be most effective. On top of being a great player, he's a pest and needs some muscle around him to allow him to be at his very best.

Agreed....Tro was always in the middle of any "extra curriculars" that went on after the whistle and at one point, it seemed to me that Canes and Cats began targeting him because of his mouth. However, as you suggested, he's not built for that and needs the "backup".

 

[HockeyBasedNYC]

Hopefully this $ isn’t immediately rolled into a shiny new boat anchor on 7/1

Was thinking the same but maybe they are repurposing it for a big Laf and/or Igor extension?

I am also cautiously optimistic. Dont follow up this great move with another bad one

 

[NikC]

I was expecting this guy’s buyout ghost to be haunting our cap friendly page for the next several years so this is an excellent and unexpected turn lol.

Glory to the San Jose Sharks who sent their only begotten son (also the San Jose Sharks) to suffer greatly to redeem the sins of man (signing Barclay Goodrow to a 6 year contract)

dont blaspheme...

 

[nsvoyageurs]

If they use this money to extend Lindgren it will be the dumbest avenue to arrive at that destination.


Yeah the paranoia can be real.

Know quite a few people who were pretty regular users who gave it up because it became too intense.

That stuff can bleep you up badly. Never have had an urge to use it. C'est la vie.

Giving Lindgren a long term extension would be a Ranger thing to do, which would be idiotic. He's going to be Dan Girardi 2.0 in a of couple of years. They need to use the cap space to make the team more playoff/Cup winning team capable.

Glad they didn't buy out Goodrow. You worry about the "deal" they made with San Jose to take him off their hands.

I don’t know if I’d go as far as to say any extension is bad.

They need to understand that his time as Fox’s partner is over, and that he’s a 3rd pairing guy who gets first tier PK minutes. So what’s that look like?

He’s coming off 3/9. The max I’m going is 4/4. 2 year NTC. Limited in years 3/4. Money front loaded.

I like Lindgren. He’s still got value. But I want nothing to do with him past the age of 30

 

[Harbour Dog]

Genuinely shocked that SJ claimed it; I figured it was just wishful thinking. What a boon!

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

I would be interested for one of the beats to be able to get details on why they decided to do a waiver claim, as opposed to just a straight trade for future considerations

Unless Goodrow didn’t approve of SJ and they said “too bad you’re going anyways”

The more I think about it the less I think they're going to trade two top-4 guys after being a Final Four team. They're gonna think its too much change. I do think one of Lindgren or Trouba goes 100% of the time though.

Mike Grier covering for Drury's mistakes, what a bro.

I drive by there ALL the time, I’m partial to Modern Apizza in New Haven.

Love modern! Try Nauti D, it won’t disappoint.

 

[Kane One]

Well that was a gift from San Jose.

 

[CTTribe73]

Well that was a gift from San Jose.

There’s a deal here……what’s the other side?

Kudos to Drury for correcting his mistake. Now if he can do something with Mika he will have a clean slate.

 

[Brief Candle]

Bummer, but I get it. I like Goodrow. Now let's all hope, as many have suggested, that they don't waste that money on Lindgren.

 

[romba]

Now who's looking for a slightly overpaid physical top 4 d with captain intangibles? Gotta be someone...

Barclay Goodrow claimed by Sharks as Rangers get rid of contract

The Rangers have gotten out of the remaining three years of the veteran forward’s contract.

nypost.com

Still atrocious writing, although slightly better than her last attempt.

“Mollie, who allegedly smoked the trees this afternoon, went on to write confusing a confusing article about the NY Rangers, the Post has learned.”

Should be

“Mollie smoked a pre-roll prior to writing an illegible article about the NY Rangers, according to sources at the Post.”

Edit: Mollie— in case you’re reading, sorry I don’t want to come across as mean, but cleaning it up a bit would do wonders for us readers.

It's been speculated that Drury had a deal/agreement in place with SJ, but SJ is on Goody's 15 team no trade list. Waivers was the only way around it.

 

[Machinehead]

We'll see how the rest of the offseason goes but Drury earned a few points with me getting rid of Goodrow's entire hit for nothing.

 

[Breaded Fox]

See ya BadRow! Obviously a good guy and was nice he actually showed up in POs . But the world always moves on.

Mollie Walker clap clap clap clap clap

I was way ahead of her.

overpaying Lindgren

My mind wanders to somewhere in Amish country...

Brother Ryan, phone call!

Who is it, Brother Jonas?

It's the New York Rangers.

Tell em to hold on. Need to get this last 2 by 4 beam in place.

Brother Ryan, this could about a contract extension?

Brother Jonas, yes.

Brother Ryan, this could be big. This money could keep us going for generations to come. We are forever grateful.

I hope so, Brother Jonas. And maybe it'll get Brother Charlie to come here.
