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

[luiginb]

Seems like San Jose should be all over this. They need some veteran help and its gunna be hard to attract people there right now.

No thanks, didn't like him in his prime, want nothing to do with him now

 

[Magic Man]

Why would he hit the lottery after 1 year on the Leafs? He'd be 32 and I doubt teams would be queing up to give him money and term after being bought about by the Rangers.

He got a big contract after winning the cup. If he goes to Toronto where there is a greater spotlight and is successful he will be in a position to score another big deal. A return to 35ish point form and a playoff round win would buy him another multi-year deal around 4M.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Holl. Straight up.

 

[Charlie Conway]

He's a good player for his role. If the Rangers were still getting 30 points or so out of him, his contract would be manageable. His offensive production just went off a cliff when he was actually playing that 4th line role.

He's a bottom-6 (ideally 4th line) PK specialist who hits and possesses some leadership qualities. Tends to wake up in the playoffs, too.

It's always interesting to me because guys who are great on the PK should, in theory, be good players overall. PK is about positioning, quick reactions, and being able to read the play, but so many of those guys aren't offensive producers.

Goodrow's a valuable player to have, but he's just overpaid. Can't blame him. If another company wanted to pay me 4x my current salary to do what I do because they're short-staffed in my role, I'd be cool with it.

PK specialists are usually offensively-void because they're great at playing without the puck but useless with the puck.

Yeah, I suppose so.

Grabner's my guy for that. He was so good at disrupting on the PK. His anticipation was unreal, and he had that crazy speed to break away. He was good for 2 or 3 breakaways per game, but they were finished at a rate of like 5%.

 

[HabsQC]

Oilers should pick him up

 

[Crease]

He has 3 x 3.6m left.

The buyout penalty would be spread over 6 seasons as follows:

-250k
1m
3.5m
1.1m
1.1m
1.1m

 

[Outl4w]

I would take him for near league minimum back in Tampa after NYR buys him out.

Honestly, the buyout is better than any trade they can make realistically. They lose money by retaining and would undoubtedly have to give up a high pick or prospect even for that to happen.

 

[mouser]

So there's nothing that says they can't waive him now for buyout purposes. Only that they can't actually do it yet.

Nothing in the CBA, but I'd expect the NHL and PA have a non-public side agreement on exactly how long before buyout the unconditional waivers have to be.

And again, this does not appear to be Unconditional Waivers today for Goodrow.

 

[pld459666]

Savage move by Drury. It's good for the cap, but bad for the team. Hopefully, San Jose or Chicago will pick him up.

Has no bearing on the team.

 

[pld459666]

Folks seem to think that Goodrow was getting 30+ points from the 4th line and thats not the case at all.

He played up and down the line up while Gallant was HC. It was dumb then and no less smart today.

He played this past season exactly where he should, 4th line and his numbers reflected that.

His legs are shot. He's not the guy he used to be and 30+ a year is most likely not in his future

 

[SML2]

They have to have a taker lined up already.

 

[Dijock94]

They have to have a taker lined up already.

I’m assuming there was a team on his no trade list that wanted him.

 

[Synergy27]

When will they announce who picks him up? I’d like to stop refreshing the thread.

 

[um]

Do the Rangers do anything right?

Ever?

Find elite goalies?

 

[chaser17]

NHL GMS are funny sometimes. If this guy were a free agent there would probably be a bidding war for him. But if NYR try to retain and give you a pick for him: No Way!

 

[StreetHawk]

I’m assuming there was a team on his no trade list that wanted him.

Maybe. But, then the 2 sides probably have to work out a side deal to send a player from the team that claims him for a swap of draft picks or a pick to even out the cap hit. Who knows.

 

[DieSendungmitderMaus]

am i reading this right? if he gets bought out, the cap hit for him is actually higher next year then if he was on the roster?

No. If he gets bought out, the cap "penalty" would be -250k in the first year, so the Rangers would actually gain 250k in cap space beyond not having Goodrow on the books. Then in the years following the penalty swings in the positive and starts eating into the Rangers cap.

 

[Alluckks]

Can you please explain why you are shocked that Goodrow got waived? Did you think those Rangers Fans are secretly the GM for New York?

Is that why you were shocked when Goodrow was waived, because surely some random rangers fans must be telling the truth since they can look into the future right?

It’s so cringe when people generalize an entire fanbase because of something said by one or two people. If anything, we should be shocked that you were so gullible to listen to some random rangers fans.

Makes perfect sense for the Rangers to waive him to allow teams to see if they want to add him now. No harm done in giving it a shot. Goodrow had a NTC as well.

As to your poster quoted, he is a huge troll who celebrated Rangers injuries in the regular season and then disappeared when his team did in the playoff series against the Rangers as well.

 

[jay from jersey]

I love goody. He was a solid soldier for us who upped his game in the playoffs…. He’s a def leader in the room and a player young guys look up to….
Having said that, can’t be paying him 3.6 mill per to be a 4th line guy. He also has a ton of hard miles on his body. There are few players in the league that have played as much postseason hockey as Goodrow over the last 7-8 years.
At the time they signed him, the rangers were devoid of any guys in Hartford or on the big club that played a hard nosed game.
Now that the rangers have some guys on the roster with Edge ex Trochek/laf/cuylle/rempe
They have guys on ELC deals who need a chance to play. Edstrom/Berard/Othmann should all be fighting for a spot at camp this season.
Sykora/Chmelar/perrault the following year most likely…
Then there’s guys like Laba/BMB that can have an outside shot as well….

Goodie is just getting too much $$ for how he’s currently deployed.

This is obviously for purposes of buyout, but if a team far below the cap claims him after a great postseason looking to mentor their youngsters, great.
If not he’ll be bought out and someone will sign him to a cheaper short term deal.
Either way, Goodrow won’t go long without a home/job.

Rumour SJ claiming Goodrow

I’m sure Rangers owe them something
