Of all the pipe dream offseason trades for a big name player, the only one that interests me is PLD if we don't have to give up a fortune for him and he agrees to a reasonable extension (8 years, $8 million AAV). He's only 25 so it would be a deal for both the short and long term. He also has solid possession numbers and a good track record with Panarin. Maybe even the French connection can get Lafreniere going.

Not sure how we could get it to fit under the cap.

1) injuries happen and you need cap space for call-ups.
2) pretty much any team in contention makes moves at the tdl. Look at boston, had the best regular season ever and still added hatahaway, orlov, bertuzzi. One of vegas’ most valuable playoff guys was barbashev, acquired via trade.

Why do you need cap space for call ups?

The cap jump starting next year wipes out any negative consequences for buying him out, gives us an extra 500k this year and next to play with on top of his full cap hit.
If you can’t move him without attaching something, it’s the best option.
I’m not moving a 3rd or 4th to move him.

Very few 4th round picks will be as valuable as 9.5M in cap space. That being said, I’m not moving him and adding to the deal. Given the choice between a buyout, adding to move him, or keeping him then I’m keeping him.

9.5 million in cap space over how many years. It’s negligible
 
haohmaru said:
It’s not. How would an extra 1.5M look this year? How about at the last deadline? Every cap dollar matters. 9.5/6 = 1.5M+ /yr.

Sure but if we can’t move him for free. I’d rather buy him out than being forced to attach something.
 
haohmaru said:
And I’d rather keep him than buy him out and pay him for six years to play somewhere else.

Except we lose roster flexibility with him on the roster. He’s not worth 3.6 million, and with a flat cap and needing to sign both Laf and miller to rfa deals, we need some flexibility

I don't think the Rangers will need to bribe a team to take Goodrow. GM's constantly overpay for guys like him and I expect a number of them will be interested after they miss out on those guys on the UFA market.

The team really should be hyper focused on trading Panarin. But they won't because they don't have the guts to do it.

Likely will have to tag a 2nd with him due to the fact he has 4 years of term left. If it was just 1 year youd probably get value back

NOPE. That is a ridiculous payment. Guarantee it wont happen. I'll venmo you the amount of a decent bottle of whiskey if we add a second to Goodrow to get rid of him. And I'm not talking some expanded transaction where a 2nd and Goodrow are going in a hockey, not cap based trade. The only year where his 3.6 cap hit matters is 23-24. After that the cap jump makes it moot. NYR can get through this year with him and next year his cap isn't an issue, can buy him out, or trade him at the TDL to a taem that needs what he brings and his cap hit is pro rated. There is no way in HELL we use a 2nd to get rid of him.
 
There is no scenario where trading Goodrow, and attaching picks to him to do so, in order to sign Hathaway makes any sense.

A trade of Goodrow is probably looking at a return of something like what Georgiev brought back. He produces at a 3rd line level and plays every forward position. He's an excellent PKer and a leader as well as he's capable of dropping the gloves and he's only 30 years old.

I will keep reiterating this point, I like Hathaway, but in no world should the Rangers be paying $2m+ for a 4th line winger who is 31 years old.

I expect the Rangers to have to attach some sort of pick to Goodrow to get rid of him

And they’ll probably get not much in return

If Vancouver is begging people to take Garland who’s a significantly better player, I can’t imagine teams are gonna be taking Goodrow without a sweetener

You dont have to attach picks to Goodrow.

Either dump him for nothing to a bottom dweller/up and comer or buy him out. Cap will take off in a few years. Mitigating 1M buyout penalty will be manageable
