Confirmed Signing with Link: [NYR] F Barclay Goodrow signs with the Rangers (6 years, $3.642M AAV)

[DaBolts]

I'm betting whatever Goodrow gets these will be the relative differences:

Armia close, maybe 250-500k more

Coleman gets 1 million more

Hyman 2 million more

If Hyman flees, he'll get $6 million per easily.

 

[Puikiou]

Not going to age well.

The last thing New York needs is more high salaried wingers.

 

[Kranix]

Huge over payment for cup sparkle 4th liner incoming

 

[Mikeshane]

He's a ufa so there's no reason for him to be in a rush to sign with Rangers unless they are offering him a good contract or he has a desire to play in New York.

We need depth, the roster is way too top heavy. These are the smart smaller moves that Drury should be making. Re sign Buch, get a veteran top 4 LHD and we are in business.

 

[DaBolts]

I'm over the moon with this. He is everything we have been missing in our bottom six, one of the best bottom six wingers in the NHL IMO.

You should be. He's got heart, guts, grit, and will give you 15-20 quality minutes per game in the hardest places to play on the ice. Gonna miss that down here, for certain.

I came in to ask this. Are teams allowed to sign protected players right now? They should be able to but I’m just not sure how the freeze rules works.

Seattle is the only team that can sign players right now. The Rangers can still talk to Goodrow if he is protected and figure out a deal but the pen to paper won't be done until after the roster freeze is over.

Agreed, let's hope it isn't too long or expensive. But he can also play C.

 

[DFC]

Wish him the best. Had a big impact in TB, back to back playoffs.

 

[Patty Ice]

I wouldn't worry about him costing 4 mil, he should be closer to 3 mil. However, they got to be careful with the term. Six years, as been rumored, would be way too long. He's an awesome 4th liner, elite even (if there is such a thing) and can fill in admirably short term on the 3rd line but you don't want to be stuck paying him over 3 mil for that long. If it's under 3 like Sissons deal, it's a lot more tolerable.

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

3.500M, 4 years

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Is Goodrow that much of an upgrade over Lemieux which they dumped?

Considering Lemieux is barely an NHL player, yes I would say Goodrow is an upgrade

 

[RangersFan1994]

3.500M, 4 years

[Curufinwe]

6 x $4.25m is my prediction

Who cares? Everyone always bugs out about cap hits and term on contracts and these guys on the lower end of the "overpaid" spectrum are always movable and moved or bought out. The Rangers have had more cap issues than anyone in history and they always find a way out of it as they will again if he ever becomes an issue.

The Rangers have never not gotten or gone after a player they wanted because of the cap or cap issues.

Lemieux sucks at hockey so yes.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I'll throw up if he's over 3M. Spending that sort of money on bottom-6 forwards is how you get in trouble.

 

[The Crypto Guy]

Yeaaaa buddy!

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Like the player but dreading the possible cost. Hope I am pleasantly surprised

 

[ETTER DE]

Were are the stats guys? I need to know. Guys who have won two cups signs for/ is traded to another team. Have they already reach their personal goals and decline from here on? Or will they still play at a high level?

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

as a fan of a rival team, please show me 5 or more years!

 

[Quinnisinoverhishead]

Nervous. Please don’t over pay!

I’m not positive this is true. It the player is on your protected list, Seattle can’t talk to them and there ought to also be no reason you can’t, so there also shouldn’t be any reason you’d have to wait to announce an agreement with a player you have exclusive rights to.

 

[bernmeister]

3.75 x4
or
3.8 x 5

just imo a hunch

 

[AveryStar4Eva]

source??

Just my guess
