Not sure how Drury did it, but he did it!! Thank you for the 3.6M cap room this opened up!

 

[Telos]

Dang. Goodrow suffers the worst of fates in almost the most deserving way.

 

[AslanRH]

When we see a gap in value favoring the Sharks in the next SJS-NYR trade, we will know it was this.
past considerations rather than the normal future ones

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

A big f*** off to you, San Jose.

Sincerely,
Metro Disivion fans

 

[Aashir Mallik]

At least we won’t see the yearly Goodrow + 2nd for futures

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Man I really waffle on Grier. I never thought San Jose would be able to clear out the Burns/Karlsson/Hertl contracts, and he managed to do that and get actual value for them.

Taking on $10M of Goodrow's dead cap and getting nothing in return is absolutely brutal asset management though.

 

[BonMorrison]

A big f*** off to you, San Jose.

Sincerely,
Metro Disivion fans

Oh why don't you go buy CapFriendly again, my guy!

Just thinking out loud, but I wonder if the big jump in cap for this year plus the projected big jumps in the future is going to cause cap dumps to not be as negative value.

Back before COVID, the cost to move out money tended to be pretty tame. The only years where teams were paying out a ton of 1sts and 2nds to get out of deals was during the flat cap years.

Speak for yourself... most of the metro division fans LOVE this outcome.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

I wish it could be known if other teams put in a claim on him to see what that situation looks like but unless there's a side deal in place to compensate for this, this is a bad claim. They can't trade him with retention for another year. If someone else put a waiver claim, they can't trade him w/o putting him back on waivers. I'd prefer to buy him out than to keep him because he's no good during the season.

 

[Stewie Griffin]

Grier came from the Rangers and his team needs to reach the cap floor...he did it while helping out his old buddy and bringing in a familiar face to a fanbase that was dead last in ticket sales. Although it's an overpayment of a contract...odds are we were going to overpay someone in free agency anyway. Not to mention 3.6 isn't really going to affect the sharks at all....this will expire the same year Celebrini/Smith come off ELCs and Couture (8M) comes off the books.

If you assume most metro division fans are Rangers fans, then sure. Sneaky, subtle dig — respect.

Lmfao. Well said. Subtle, but very well said.

I’ll get right on that! Ted asked me what he should do to piss off the user BonMorrison on HF and I told him to buy CapFriendly. Glad I could be of service.

 

[Zynbanejad]

Either sign and overpay a FA you gotta deal with later to reach the cap floor or bring back an old fan favorite back for free. Easy choice

 

[themelkman]

Well throw in Trouba for free

Wouldn’t be shocked if that’s coming.

He's done great with what he's had, but not with what he wants.

Drury masterclass

 

[Shocker]

Certified bruh moment from Grier

 

[bossram]

I mean... they got out of it with zero impact.

In that that time they had three playoff appearances where Goodrow is most impactful.

You mean the two other playoff appearances where Goodrow had 2 points in 16 games?

 

[themelkman]

Drury masterclass

He’s gotta be so happy he talked up Grier when the sharks org called him.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Wow

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

I bet that, conservatively, Rangers fans make up 35-50% of the entire Metro Division fanbase.

A sizable chunk and the largest by a decent margin? Yes. 50%? No chance.

 

[SharksFan1]

San Jose doing something monstrously stupid doesn't change anything.

The response there should be "god damn San Jose is stupid".

How are they stupid? They have to get to the cap floor.

 

[Regal]

San Jose isn’t going to compete for awhile so I don’t think it’s the worst to bring in a vet presence and fan favourite to get the cap floor up, but I don’t see how anyone else would have made a claim. You gotta get some kind of sweetener to take him on. Weaponizing cap space is the the best way to gain assets, so just taking cap on without gaining anything else feels like a waste.
