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

[islesfan186]

I'm not defending Trouba's play but he's not really put in a position to score a lot of points. Pionk had half his points on the power play the first year. Trouba's role on the team isn't to get 40+ points a season.

So the Rangers paying the guy 8 mil a season to not contribute offensively?

 

[Doctyl]

The Rangers are so screwed next summer. Fox and Zibby will cost around 20 milion in cap space and the idiot Drury is spendind 3.6 on a bottom 6 forward
when they already have anchors like Trouba in dead cap space. This won't end well...

I could be wrong, but I don’t think 3.6 is greater than 20

@Kakkling Lafter

Still want Drury to make love to you?

I'm a jilted lover

 

[Doctyl]

Drury off to a horrible start.
That capsituation is going to get ugly very quickly between Kreider, Goodrow and Trouba all already looking like pretty bad ones longterm...

pssst drury didn’t sign those other guys

 

[Dubi Doo]

Signing bottom 6 talent to a 6 year deal at slightly above market value seems dumb, dumb, dumbbbbb, but shouldn’t be a huge issue going forward.

 

[TGWL]

Tanev had 14 goals and 29 points and the cap was expected to rise.

And Goodrow has average 30 points over /82 in the prior 2 seasons. The length is a bit long. I won't disagree with that.

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

How did Barclay Goodrow go from the Sharks 4th line, to returning a 1st round pick and now signing a 22M dollar deal?

He has career highs of 8 goals and 24 points

I get that he brings size and kills penalties but my god.

Scored the game-winner in OT in game 7 vs Vegas. Is a great guy who was lived by his teammates in San Jose. Helped San Jose to a top-10 rank PK which lost effectiveness when he left.

Helped push Tampa Bay over the top and won two Cups. Consistently was top-5 in ice-time for Tampa in the playoffs (i.e. plays big minutes).

The guy is clutch.

 

[JAS 39 Gripen]

Hahaha!

 

[ProjectPanthers]

This is such an emotional contract from the Rangers. Rookie GM written all over it.

They got bullied last year and now overpaid to get "tougher", something you can achieve in free agency for half the price.

Goodrow just made out like a bandit because he won a couple cups and can throw a hit. His career high is 8 goals

The Rangers are paying him 8 million regardless if he contributes offensively. What I said was the organization wasn't using him for that role. Fox is the RD they want in the O-zone. Fox is the RD they want on the powerplay. Fox is the RD they want out as much as possible.

I'm a Tampa fan and I loved goodrow here but this is a massive over pay and will be among the worst deals in the league a few years from now

Tanev had 14 goals thought

and his contract is also bad but I bet that was the comparable they used.

Nah, there will be plenty of 6/7 year deals handed out for soon-to-be UFA's/UFA's in the top 6 that will look really bad in a few years and be far worse than a 3.6 million cap hit.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

I think this is a terrible contract I also laughed my ass off at the Brandon Tanev contract that was signed two years ago that turned out quite good and was just taken for free by Seattle so...

 

[MarkusKetterer]

What an odd dollar amount on the contract.

 

[TGWL]

Goodrow played almost 18 minutes in cup win against Montreal. Aside form 1 game, he played around 18 minutes in each game during the cup final. 18 minutes in a close-out game against the Islanders. Nearly 18 minutes in a close-out game against the Hurricanes. 3.6 million for a player that can be effective for 18 minutes is not a bad cap hit. Sure, it would have been nice to get that down closer to 3, but it is what is it is. The real issue here is the 6 years, not the amount Goodrow is getting per year. I also don't like the way the contract is structured.

 

[LOFIN]

It's not a good contract, but whatever. Need to see what else the Rangers do this offseason, and what kind of a roster we skate come game 1. Then I will make a judgment on Drury.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Regretted from day 1.

Just wait until Hyman signs with Edmonton, if the reports are accurate. That deal would make this deal look good.

Cause he was integral in winning a couple cups.
We have a lot of young talent coming up. Want them to practice and play like Goodrow. He’s a type of guy you want around your young guys building culture.

 

[Lays]

Didn’t Pionk out score him and have better +/- in both years?

Pionk isn’t close to Trouba defensively or physically and benefits from being the only offensive oriented defenseman on a team with a stacked offense

Could be worse, we could’ve made a decision to pay a crappy G 10 mil a year until like 2030. I know in Florida this will resonate: you have to remove the broken washing machine from your front yard and the old couch from your porch before you criticize my Yosemite Sam mud flaps.

Okay he scored one OT goal, one of his 5 playoff goals ever.

He was outscored by his linemates Coleman and Gourde in the last 2 playoff runs by 9 and 12 points.

Look, i get that he's become a good penalty killer and all that, but when did we start calling guys with 5 career playoff goals in 65 games clutch? Hell freezes over before 6 year deals for penalty killers close to their 30's are good contracts.

This is essentially the same exact thing as when Detroit gave Darren Helm a 5 year, 3.85M contract. Little less AAV, one more year for Goodrow. Helm was around the same age with the same credentials. Heck, he had double Goodrow's playoffs goals and a few 30 point seasons even. I literally forgot Helm was still playing the last couple years, still on that same contract.

But.. meh. Rant over. Rangers are better team than they were yesterday and it's a good fit for both parties so good for them i guess.

Another Bob chirp, cringe.

You overpaid for a dime a dozen NHLer, deal with it

We did a bit I’ve dealt with it. You did massively on a team crippling scale, so what? Every team has good, bad, and ugly contracts, why you chirping on ours?
