I mean the contract sucks but he was a big part of our success in the playoffs.
hockeyhow7
Had a lucky playoff run but his regular season was below AHL levels. I’m thankful he should be gone especially with his cap hit.
Low-Kaleidoscope-663
I remember seeing a tweet a couple of weeks ago that showed it was somehow cheaper for us to waive him and re-sign him to a league minimum (legal in the cba) I wonder if this is that
Separate_Pound_753
Its a shame now is the time because he was really good in the playoffs. Still makes far too much and was dogshit in the regular season. If he made like 1.5 or just under 2 hes a perfect 4th line player for the playoffs
jthomas694
You have to get cheaper and faster on the bottom 6. And his 40% shooting percentage in the playoffs doesn’t mean he was good in the playoffs
Downtown_Mailman
Goodrow was terrible this year and his cartoonishly lucky shooting % in the playoffs doesn’t change the that.
It’s insane to have a 4th liner with that large of a cap hit.
MyNameIsLegend
My out of left field guess: there was a trade in the works that Goodrow blocked with his NTC, and this will allow the team to claim him off waivers, bypassing his NTC. Pretty much what could have happened to McD when Tampa first moved him to Nashville after threatening him with the Blue Jackets. It’d require a team relatively high in the claim order (San Jose?), but it’s not impossible.
If that’s not the case, I’m a bit surprised. Could be just showing him that his options are to not block any trades or go down to Hartford. Could be the lead up to a buyout? I know he has a negative cap hit if we buy him out this year, but it’s also 3 years after his contract expires that we’ll need to carry $1M, and the 26-27 hit of $3.5M is immovable.
If there’s not a move in the works though, I guess I’m encouraged by Drury’s assessment of Goodrow?

What?
Sailor_Chris
Lmao this sub did nothing but complain about this guy for years and now they finally get rid of him and people are complaining
NYRpuckhead
Maybe someone claims him and his contract. But I think his buyout hurts us the least without moving major pieces (most of which have NMCs).
It stinks because he had a great playoff run with scoring and D-zone faceoffs.
NYM32
Barclay Goodrow shot an absolutely ridiculous *30% at 5v5* in the playoffs but still got outscored 6-5 at 5v5 when he was on the ice
scored big goals but overall has been a detriment to NYR on both sides of the ice and they are way better off without him and that cap hit on the books.
Cute-Escape2751
He is clearly very respected in the locker room otherwise they wouldn’t have given him an A and he was one of the very few skaters who actually stepped up in the playoffs. I’ll miss that, but I will not miss his contract.
Now do Trouba next.
Dont_know_where_i_am
I had a dream last week the Rangers traded Goodrow to Calgary.
Depending on what Drury wants to do there are a lot of good 4th liners out there that can probably be had for under $2mil if needed. William Carrier, Nicolas Aube-Kubel, and Sam Lafferty are three I like. Also, this means we can unleash 4C Rempe.
superdad0206
Imagine no one claims him and the assign him to Hartford. Savings on cap right there without need for a buyout.
nofier27
This is a necessary move. He is simply not worth the amount of money he is making and after that great postseason maybe someone will claim him. Thanks for everything Goodrow I’ll never forget your Linsanity run
ExistingStrength5246
Hope getting rid of him leads to something big
PeteyG89
I remember this sub being very anti Goodrow from the beginning. Not because of the person, but trading an asset to negotiate for his rights, then it came out he wanted 6 years everyone foresaw this lol. This, Buch trade and Nemeth extension only to use a pick to get rid of him a year later have been some puzzling moves from Drury.
Buyout Trouba when the window opens and we cookin
SMIRTLE
Whats the purpose of doing this now? It can’t be a buyout and we are allowed to operate over the cap. Head scratcher.
LogicalWord6
So many GMs of the past would have been swayed by that playoff performance. Glad Drury is smart enough to see past it
obvioussponge06
The way I’m thinking of this is, the only team Goodrow would likely waive his NTC for that would actually take him on is San Jose, who would be first up in any waiver claims. Drury asked around if any teams wanted him without sweeteners, they said no, except SJS may actually want him but not want to pay assets for him, so instead is waiting to be able claim him for free on waivers.
Smorgas-board
Despite his playoff run, we needed to get his contract off the books.
jpelleg1
Give me Trouba pls.
PM_ME_YOUR_COMMAS
His contract isn’t awful to buy out so it makes sense to do this
Necdurgogan75
I’m guessing there was no trade available, his value is as high as it ever will be. Definitely needed to move on
ericonly
This sucks
koal82
Good now get rid of Trouba next
edogg01
From Vince:
>If another team claims Goodrow, #NYR would save full $3.642M cap hit.
>If they end up buying him out, savings would actually be more next season ($3.89M), but it would come with lingering penalties for 5 seasons after that.
njerejeje
I’m glad Goodrow had some signature playoff moments for us, but it was time to move on. $3.6 million for what he provides is not good value. I hope he goes to Toronto or wherever and thrives.
Hungry_Stoic
Barclay played is heart out for this team but we need this cap to round out this roster.
Wonder is Edstrom will get first crack at 4C
ItsHeadbangerG
I for one welcome this decision.
Key-Tip-7521
Can’t hate this guy. But for what drury was paying him for, this had to happen. Bad contract. Could have gave him a smaller contract.
Nothing but respect for Goodrow. Met the guy when I met Vinny. Wish him the best
njerejeje
Would yall roll with Brodzinski or Edstrom as our 4C? Or add a Kevin Rooney-esque replacement?
vertigounconscious
another Drury masterclass in signing, cap management and asset management.
are we forgetting Drury signed this abomination of a deal?
Asteriskib
Not sure how to feel, yeah I don’t like his contract that much but he was one of the 4 ayers to shoe up in the play offs. Yeah he wasn’t too great in the regular season but he did well enough
younggunna642
Curious if someone claims him or not, does his value increase after his playoff performance?
PopulationLow
Trouba better be next so help me god
Slats6NYR
Thinking of anyone would claim him, Chicago or Utah. Hawks could use a player like him and Utah can too and they have a ton of cap space.
flaamed
Goodrows agent was able to pull off a heist, he got the money and long term for a 4th liner
Anyawnomous
I think Goody was an excellent Ranger and wish him the best. We need to get younger and cheaper on the 4th line.
zer0trace31337
It’s too bad. He seems like a great teammate and is a clutch competitor. It’s too bad that the contract he got wasn’t reasonable.
RhythmTimeDivision
This reminds me of Drury toward the end. Great guy but just cost too much for the production, regardless of any leadership or intangibles.
jkman61494
And another branch of the Buch trade tree predictably shrivels up and dies off. Shockingly paying a 4th liner 3rd line money to an insane 6 year deal didn’t work out as intended.
Every player now acquired from Buch’s salary is gone. And in 3 seasons the resulting charred remains of that deal include losing a 2nd to trade off Nemeth, losing a 3rd to trade for Reaves and getting a 5th back one year later, trading 0 goal Blais back to the Blues and possibly buying out Goodrow
And 3 years later, we are no closer to solving our top 6 right wing issue that was needlesly created by trading Buch to begin with.
Shrewd GM work by Drury
jakegyllenhaalisgood
Paying him that contract based off of the two fakest seasons in nhl history was obviously going to happen but i couldnt believe what he actually got. Hilarious to be honest. I dont know how people can look at 2020 & 2021 and judge teams & players off of that

Barclay Goodrow shot an absolutely ridiculous *30% at 5v5* in the playoffs but still got outscored 6-5 at 5v5 when he was on the ice
how is that possible? because he had the [worst 5v5 shot, scoring chance, and high-danger scoring chance differential rate in the entire playoffs](https://naturalstattrick.com/playerteams.php?fromseason=20232024&thruseason=20232024&stype=3&sit=5v5&score=all&stdoi=oi&rate=y&team=ALL&pos=F&loc=B&toi=150&gpfilt=none&fd=&td=&tgp=410&lines=single&draftteam=ALL) and was outshot 46-100. Igor’s 94% save% at 5v5 wasn’t enough to bail that out
scored big goals but overall has been a detriment to NYR on both sides of the ice and they are way better off without him and that cap hit on the books.
