Right, if anything, it's going to prevent us from signing randos who add "grit" or whatever and get absolutely caved.I mean, if it was $3M even, I'd be totally cool with it. So does the $600K make me hate it? No. That difference won't preclude us from bringing in other pieces needed to win--and if it does, we're doing something wrong, anyway. What does it do? Prevent us from signing another Jack Johnson each year for the next six years? Cool.
Like I said, they're gonna do that. Every team does that. I'd rather it be a quality player.
We didn't trade for him to play 10 minutes a night with Rooney and whoever.
He'll be either the 3C or play on Panarin's off wing.
My money is he plays with Panarin in the Fast/Blackwell role.
In that case, it allows us to distribute our wingers better and create two other good scoring lines, while adding grit, a great penalty killer, and a guy who personifies the identity change we're trying to execute.

Wasn't the assumption at all, just saying that I have no problem trading a late first for a guy who fills this type of role at a low price.

Am I the only one who is fine with this contract? 3.6 mil for a 3rd liner who can play all over the lineup is very good. And who cares about the 6 years? You honestly believe he’s going to play out his entire contract? Come on this is the NHL.

It's all so tiresome
I'm not in favor of signing him, but there is much more rationality in signing him for 6x5.5 or whatever than signing Goodrow to this contract.

Everyone already complained about Blackwell taking opportunities away from the kids last year, now that the kids are a year older and even more ready for a bigger role we're going right back to where we started? With a huge contract to boot

We should all be so lucky to win a Cup in our contract year.

Well if someone like Vitali "23 points in 21 games!" Kravtsov can't find a way to get his minutes ahead of Goodrow who is apparently a f***ing black hole, then...we have real problems.

Just remember for you making fun of my prediction there, I will never stop gloating about it when he ends up better than Kakko.

Everyone wants to compare long-term bottom six contracts to Järnkrok’ even though he was a 24 y/o RFA living with his best friends on an up-and-coming team. It takes a particular set of circumstances to get that.

He Is Our Star
Buch was playing on one line, Blackwell the other. Meant KK third line and Krav fourth line. Both in the bottom six.
Buch was always going to be done this off-season. Now KK and Krav slide up. KK in the top six, Krav getting third line minutes on a line with Kreider. It's clearly a different situation. Panarin doesn't want either of the kids on his off wing. He wants a work horse. Blackwell also was a tweener with 33 games of NHL experience, not a two time Stanley Cup winner who brings shutdown capabilities, a 55% faceoff rate and elite PK skills.

Feeling it
Yeah like Drury has blinders on and is in so much love with Goodrow that he isnt even forecasting the future deals for them and Fox, etc

Whats the rationale? The production is nearly identical. You think Danault is $2m better at defense than Goodrow? I dont

Who are you kidding? Danault is going to get a 6.5 mil/6 years from someone. You would have a cow if the Rangers did that.

Maybe a year or two longer than it should be, but it lowers the AAV. Front-load the contact and then he's real attractive to a team trying to hit the floor in the last year or two. $3.6 would be cheap. If we kept Fast for 2x3, we'd be having then "do we let him go?" discussion all over again, and probably with a raise.
Play Goodrow in the top-6 for this year with Panarin, and then hopefully Chytil, Kravtsov, and Kakko take a big step forward so he can slide to the 3rd line at some point. If not, then we have insurance, and he can play all over the lineup--it's like a bigger, better Blackwell.
I don't see how Trouba comes up here, but let's go down that road. For years, the Rangers had no RD depth. At one point, we had Shattenkirk, Tony D, and Pionk. Everyone wanted a tough defensive d-man with size. So we got Trouba, who brings a lot of steadiness. Sure, some tough years, but this has been 2 weird seasons. He'll be 32 when the contract is done. Bit of an overpay, yes, but it was a dire need. Crazy how the narratives get forgotten here.
Now we have Trouba, a Norris winner in Fox, and a very promising player in Nils. We have no idea how Nils will play in the NHL, and Schneider is 19. Trouba can take the tough assignments to give Fox and Nils some shelter (not that Fox needs it). But someone has to play the PK.
I remember when everyone was ready to put Chytil and Lias in the top 6, and then we had Howden and we wondered what we were going to do with all these centers. Well, 2/3 of them are now gone.
Next complaint was no veteran leadership. Acquire a cup winner (and we'll see what happens after expansion).
Grass is always greener, I suppose.
