Waived: Goodrow waived (claimed by San Jose Sharks)

[NickyFotiu]

I do not want to assume anything except Drury is here to win and his is not taking any days off. He is open for business.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

That's funny coming from a guy that can't stay in the lineup.

I don’t see the connection

The NHL is a population of wealthy jocks that never had real jobs or stress. They're all like this.

Jakob is a woke (the original definition)


Go get him Drury

 

[majordomo]

Free agents won't come here unless they get a full NMC and Drury doesn't like giving them out. No GM should.

Guess we won't be seeing any FAs in the near future.....after what Drury inherited and is now dealing with, he will go through Dante's 9 circles of hell before even considering giving one.

 

[mti79]

Seems like a no risk move. If someone claims him, you free up the entire contract. If not, well maybe it starts a conversation where the rangers add something or retain some money.

No matter what happens, seems safe to say that he won't be on the roster next year.

 

[leetch99]

Looking forward to replacing his A with two guys wearing an A.

I think the time has come that they should shake up the leadership core . It's time to have Schneider/Laf and Trocheck as A's and Fox with the C . That should be more than enough and I tend to think that letter will make Schneider and Laf even better . Basically.....turning the page on things . Those boys will be our leaders.....they are ready now . Let them lead the charge !

Who gives a f***? He’s a hockey player

I don’t really give a f*** but I sure do enjoy making fun of stupid people so I guess it balances

 

[RangersFan]

Ok, good. A step in the right direction. I was starting to really question if this is a serious franchise or not. Going to need to see some more move. If they somehow get rid of Trouba, then I know Drury is serious about winning.

 

[Jack Hanson]

Im going to miss Barclay, but I understand the logic.

Most of this is by Drury's design, he signed Z, Fox, Goodrow, Troch, and kept bridging RFAs. The only 2 long term contract he didn't sign was Kreider & Trouba, and IIRC a majority of the fan base here were stoked on that deal. Drury is currently paying for his horrible first summer as GM. He's turned around a lot, and has done some great moves since then but man that summer set things back.
Trading Buch then needing to trade those assets to other teams to replace Buch.
Constantly trading picks to find that magical partner.
Signing Nemeth, then having to trade picks to get rid of that deal.
Signing Tindori (thank you Chi for claiming him)
Signing Goodrow and now most likely having to buy out that contract (plus whether you liked them or not Goodrow cost NYR at least one of Tank or Kane for another season).

I initially didn't hate all these moves(except Buch, I was a fan of him). I personally thought they made sense Nemeth to hopefully mentor Lundkvist. Goodrow to bring in a winning culture. Hell I didn't even mind the cap hits, what got me was the term on all those deals. All were at least 2 years too long. And to be honest I said the same thing with Troch. That was a fantastic signing but couldn't believe 7 years. I will gladly eat crow on that one all day long and I'm stoked here's here for that long.

 

[Ail]

I'm suprised anyone wants Chychrun after his latest social media activity

Wait... there are people who don't believe all of this???

 

[gabevh3]

Someone explain the fallout like I'm 5.

He barely tried in regular season is likely why.. that plus his contract sucks .

Wait... there are people who don't believe all of this???

What did he like

 

[NikC]

There’s the vintage RB we’ve been longing for!

you've been longing for...

 

[gabevh3]

And Lindgren unless he takes a hometown discount.

Hard to imagine there's not a young team out there that doesnt grab Goody.

I think this may indicate the Rangers are going big game hunting this off season.

With that contract?

 

[DevilDog99]

Still a 4th line player making 3.6M for another 3 years.

If someone claims him that opens a lot more money for us to fill much needed holes on the team, like on defense.

I'm fine with this. But I also don't think anyone claims him so it likely won't matter anyway.

In the playoffs, Zibinajad is a fourth liner making 8.5. Lets be honest- stats AND eyetest says that line was BY FAR the worst in the playoffs.

Ditto for Panarin to a much lesser degree. Do you guys actually want the cup or just names to route for?

 

[Shesterkybomb]

How about this for a thought?

Maybe Drury and Columbus continue to make moves together and this waiver is part of a Laine trade? Maybe Goodrow didn't have them on his list, we drop 3.6 in salary to them via waivers they retain a little bit and we get Laine in a deal.

 

[mike14]

3x$3.6m isn't 'that' bad with the cap heading past $90m soon. Especially if you also assume you can move him at the TDL in the last season if it doesn't work out.
If his NTC doesn't move with him I can imagine there'd be a few teams at least curious about acquiring him

This would be interesting. Didn’t realize how young Laine still was.

Laine would need to pull off a Marian Gaborik miracle to help us win a cup. I have a really hard time believing this is the player that is gonna help push us over the top.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Should just be able to cut a player the players association has too much power it’s bad for the fans

 

[bouds]

hope some team bails us out but doubt it.

 

[surlysailor]

This was just in mollies article for the post
“Though there is belief there is a pre-arranged deal for the Sharks to claim Goodrow, who spent the first six seasons of his NHL career in San Jose. “

They were both horrible too, but yea, Goodrows 40% shoot percentage isn't going to be sustainable. He had a few good shots, fact is he still is a 4th line player. We can spend his 3.6M on improving the team.

 

[17futurecap]

I got Mike Grier his first drink at the bar this weekend.

 

[Vitto79]

SJ claiming Goodrow ?
Wow
What are they getting ?

Recency bias is a helluva thing. Which goodrow do you think is the real one 8 pts in 16 games or 2 points in 16 games the previous 2 season. lol

Also as bad as z was he still had 16 pts in 16 games and 4 in 7 last year. His issue is he thinks he has to be this shutdown c instead of the shoot first c that he was his first few years here. He gets in his own head about it.
