Thread: Dump Goodrow to Resign Kane
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>slater417</b></div><div>He's actually not. He's overpaid absolutely. But not by 3m, but by about 1m.
NHL teams will actually likely trade for him once the cap goes up, but even if the rangers wanted to get his contract off the books, he's a terrible easy buyout as his cap hit is miniscule once he's bought out and is a net benefit next year, and then as the cap rises its like 1.5m for 3 years.

So the rangers arent forced to move a pick to move goodrow, let alone a first rd pick.</div></div>

It’s a free buyout until 2025 and I wouldn’t be shocked to see Drury look at it that way. However, it’s 6 seasons of cap hits after that. It’s a decent contract to buyout but giving away that Dallas first to move the whole contractor the long haul isn’t a lot to pay. It’s a late 1st, trey usually aren’t anything special. Would you give away Ryan Poehling to move that whole contract? That’s the kind of player you usually get in that range.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>danielcoe</b></div><div>the rangers trade is not fair value says this habs fan... someone is trying too hard to get a third first pick.... picks between 20-32 only 17 players in thirteen season have become top 6 forwards or top 4 def or starting goalies... that is 1.3 each each.... everybody but one person gets nothing much from those slots...... Mcccarron Schbretk Juulson poehling etc....so dont trade significant things for a 1 in 10 crapshoot...

Comparably... montreal took caufield 15th and guhle 16 so that is where the picks need to be... So florida's pick will be great but other picks late are not so valuable</div></div>

You just made a good case for why NYR should have no problem trading the Dallas 1st. It’s going to be a late 1st and likely a not very significant prospect as you’ve stated.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CD282</b></div><div>Foegele is much better than Goodrow, they aren't paying two prospects for a downgrade who has FOUR years left on his deal. If you want the better player, you have to pay.

That’s an interesting website. I looked back and compared from 2019 to present since Goodrow’s numbers for this season are particularly down. Foegele is certainly the better goal scorer but as far as assists go they are about even. Goodrow also is the more physical player and a shot blocker. Then you add in the fact he can play as a centre and I think he’d be quite valuable at 1.82 million for 4 years. It’s a good cap hit for a bottom six player on a team that has that many big contracts to pay out.
