Mr. Preachy
Carp was talking about a 5x4.5 deal earlier today, and now Vince is talking about a 5 or 6 year deal with a $4M AAV
Truly a bad signing if I've ever seen one (and it's the Rangers, so we've seen plenty of bad signings)

Thanks. I hope it’s just posturing by Goodrows agents.
If he wants his 6 years, the number can’t be above 3.5.
Suzuki and Necas went 12th and 13th in that draft. If the Rangers had taken either player 7th overall, the Rangers would be in much better shape right now. There was nothing wrong with the players in the draft or the Stepan trade. The Rangers took the wrong player. Blame Rangers management. I remember Edge saying the Rangers really liked Suzuki that draft year.

Also really wanted Yamamoto at #21 that year but thankfully Chytil ended up being a hit

It's all so tiresome
Goodrow was at a 925k cap hit with term and TB had to give up a 3rd as well. Not comparable.

The second you think the team is rid of any bad contracts when Brendan Smiths deal expires we are poised to give out another one

Right, got mixed up for a second. But the point was he wasn't comparable to Fast.
Your nine players may not be the same as someone elses nine players.

This is the easiest decision in the world if it's going to cost him in the 3-4M range. But unfortunately it seems the Rangers are very willing to make a terrible mistake here.

Agreed, just setting my expectation that this contract is going to be an overpayment.
Just hope it’s not egregious.

Got pretty excited reading this proposal.
Goodrow-Gourde-X is a great start to get a great energy/character line. Kakko could be a pretty sick third guy on that line.

Please, explain to me how this is worth $4M.
Really wish we kept Fast.

Let's put some of these beat writers comments into perspective. The Drury front office hasn't leaked anything. No one had any info on the deals that were made or who would be protected. Vince's comments early on Saturday were the same as half the poster in here, that the Rangers would look to move Howden and/or Hajek while possibly upgrading the last F and/or D protection spots.
What do you do if your a beat writer and your teams front office won't release anything? Reach out to the agent for the player that was just acquired who will be a UFA. Ofcourse the agent is going to pump his clients tires and say a number like that. It's likely their starting point.
The deal will either be a shorter deal with a bit more cap hit (still not $4MM AAV) or longer at a lower cap hit.

The Rangers need an identity makeover and Goodrow would go a ways towards doing that. We’re too soft of a team and if to change that means Strome or Buch get moved then we should pay that price. Personally I would very much like to keep Buch but we’re not going to be trading him away without getting something back.
As for what Goodrow would get to sign a deal with us it’s one f***ing contract. If he gets six years and starts to fade after four we can buy him the f*** out and buying a $3.5 or $4 mil a year contract out is not the greatest thing in the world but it’s not the f***ing end of the world either.
So why would Goodrow get paid more than other 3rd liners? Maybe because he’s hard to play against and you can count on his consistency. Maybe because he’s been very much part of a team that’s won twice.
Again players like him can change the identity of a team and ours needs changing. Also soft teams never win anything.

4 for goodrow is absurd.
3.5 isn’t good either. Especially in the cap world. I’m all for signing him and I’m assuming they’ve already got something agreed upon, but there no need to go crazy just to change the culture. We can do that for cheaper.

If he wants security/protection, he's getting a Sissons deal. 6 years 2.5-3M
