No thanks, didn't like him in his prime, want nothing to do with him nowSeems like San Jose should be all over this. They need some veteran help and its gunna be hard to attract people there right now.

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.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.
PK specialists are usually offensively-void because they're great at playing without the puck but useless with the puck.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.
Yeah, I suppose so.PK specialists are usually offensively-void because they're great at playing without the puck but useless with the puck.
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.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
So there's nothing that says they can't waive him now for buyout purposes. Only that they can't actually do it yet.
Savage move by Drury. It's good for the cap, but bad for the team. Hopefully, San Jose or Chicago will pick him up.
I’m assuming there was a team on his no trade list that wanted him.They have to have a taker lined up already.
Find elite goalies?Do the Rangers do anything right?
Ever?
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.I’m assuming there was a team on his no trade list that wanted him.
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.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?
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.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.
