Blue Heaven Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 39 minutes ago, phillyb said: I feel like his stint in SJ is the biggest reason he was brought to NY - playoff performer and he at least he lived up to that. He didn’t score an OT winner, but he scored more goals in 16 post season games than he did in 80 regular season games. He was brought here b/c of his time with TB 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Overall he was good here. I have no complaints, really. I just think it's time to move on, his contract making it more evident. His leadership will be missed, but his game can be replaced with probably someone better for a more reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bugg Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 (edited) 14 hours ago, BrooksBurner said: On the plus side, if Drury has the balls to unceremoniously kick Goodrow to the curb, then he’s got the balls to ask NMC players about being traded. Open mind; got the draft, buyouts, free agency, trades all over the next months plus. Looks like a GM that is not planning on running it all back. And that is positive. He's been here long enough to know that wasting the career of another HoF goalie would be criminal. Edited June 19 by Bugg 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharpshooter Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 Agreed. Assuming that future Hall of Fame goalie can be re-signed. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontonyr Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 No issue with the player or the man. The same way I have no issue with Arizona Ice Tea. Charge me 5.99 for a can and we might have a problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but I'm a little leery as to what he's going to do here. It feels odd to clear this space right now. This move could have waited for a few more days if it were fully planned unless there's good reason to - which means there's probably good reason to. And much as I hate to say it - look, we could have run back a VERY good team with the cap space we had. Drury ain't sitting on his hands here, so.... Who's the target? Who are we clearing this room for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But lets be realistic, Goodrow is a fourth line player. it's not like Drury is waiving Zibby here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though he's a clear bottom 6er, I think the message is clear enough. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are OUT OF HERE!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdog99 Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 so the first move we make to top this past season is kick a guy to the curb without whom we might've got knocked out in round 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hard to see Drury getting rid of both hard nosed leaders in the locker room, no matter how overpaid everyone thinks they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a lot of hard-nosed guys available in UFA, especially in the Trouba role. I think the only things truly off the table are the "no way we can move these deals" (Zibanejad, Fox, probably Panarin, Trocheck), and Laf/Miller/Shesterkin.

It was obvious his timing was off and he looked terrible. But this guy will be taking heads off next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrooksBurner Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 I mean there has to be more right? Or is this Grier just doing his buddy Drury a solid? Or is he delusional and thinks Goodrow is worth that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Br4d Posted June 19 Share Posted June 19 17 hours ago, BrooksBurner said: If true, that’s a cutthroat move by Drury to force Goodrow to go somewhere he put on his NTC list. Nobody is safe Yep. I would think a few people just got nervous and might be listening to proposals to send them someplace they'd like to go instead of just whomever picks them up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
