Claimed off Waivers: [SJS] F Barclay Goodrow claimed by San Jose

[Scintillating10]

Do the Rangers do anything right?

Ever?

Only thing saved them are two star free agents wanted to sign there

 

[Empoleon8771]

You have to clear waivers to get bought out

That doesn't answer why they're doing it right now and not after the cup finals are done and when the buyout window is established.

He clears waivers tomorrow and gets bought out as soon as the window opens.

I'd have to think someone would pick him up with retention offered. Retaining at 50% is still better than money on the books for 6 years in a buyout.

I wonder if a team like the Sharks just outright claims him. He’s familiar to the team and would find a veteran player signed for 3 years useful to ride with their rookies.

 

[TBF1972]

Really odd that he's getting waived right now in the middle of the cup finals. No one is going to claim him obviously, so what's really the purpose?



Oh they're delusional and hoping someone claims him.

devils will wait until they waive shesterkin

 

[BHD]

Seemed like this was a foregone conclusion when they signed him.

Is this Rose from the Titanic movie?

This dude was one of their best players in the playoffs. Showed more grit and heart than most of their stars.

Rangers fans want to explain the thinking here? He's on the team for the playoffs, not the regular season.

he makes too much

 

[Nanuuk]

A bit of a head scratcher to me. Yes he had a bad season compared to his previous two (33, 31 points), but this is no indicator that he will have another bad season going forward.

When he is in the 30 point range his contract is more or less reasonable.

Why wouldn't NYR trade him and retain a million instead of waiving him if this move is purely for cap reasons?

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Stop with the “playoff performer” stuff. Guy literally shot 40%. He had 6 goals in his 81 previous playoff games. This is an obvious move by NY.

lol for real. Nice OT goal against Florida but he looked washed all season and his metrics were terrible in the playoffs too.

 

[Pandaman11]

Thank you for your OT heroics. Now get outta here.

No and let's keep it that way

the team may be trying to make a point or move him to a team with interest without a trade. possibly related to him having a 15 team ntc clause.

What don’t you understand? If he’s claimed, his cap hit totally vanishes

If they retain a mil, he still costs 2.5 the next 3 years

If he is claimed. The way some posters are carrying on around here they make it very doubtful. And you also imply that the sole purpose is to 'get rid of him' for cap room and the idea of garnering a return for that 1M of retention isn't worth it.

You said “if purely for cap reasons”

This way gives Rangers most cap space and potentially gets around his NTC if a team on his list wants him

no idea. never watched titanic. i am hockey fan.

 

[pld459666]

Isles sign him for 1M and sticks it to the Rangers

I double dog dare ya.

Player playing with heart in New York... can't have that.

Heart is nice, but without legs, you are a casualty

they drafted igor

Why would we bother? We can resign people like Kunin (ugh) to fill the same role.

 

[McSuper]

Maybe this will put an end to NYR fans proposing other teams trade actual assets for him/his contract.

Bernmeister said hi.

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Gets bought out. Returns to Tampa for one year at league minimum.

200% a lock. The Tampa Bay Incometaxes will be all over this one

 

[mouser]

He has to clear Unconditional Waivers before being bought out. By all accounts he's currently on Regular Waivers, meaning he'd have to be waived again prior to buyout.

Neverrrrr!!!!
