Hear me out this would be ideal next moves imo for drury : Resign Schneider Trade kakko and lindgrens rights for a top pair/top 4 left D man like chychrun, Theadore, montour Buyout Chytil (look into it it’s kinda a no brainer as ruthless as it may be but I don’t care I wanna win) or trade a 1st to Colorado with chytil for Ross Colton and Avs can buy him out to get their needed cap space. Sign a Geuntzel, Stamkos, Marchessault, Reinhardt, Toffoli or whoever as long as it’s a good top line option and full out the rest of lineup with a depth guy or 2 who can kill penalties for cheap Denote Trouba full time to 3rd pair with a 3rd pair D man from FA or jones or maybe lindgren if he takes a discount but I’d prefer if he goes he’s dragging down Fox in every way Othmann, sykora and the picks should all be on the block to get a team built b4 the start of next season no more of this let’s find the piece at the deadline to put us over the edge. Also I would consider bringing Wennberg back if he takes a discount as the 4C or 3rd line depth. These changes are what the team needs trading kakko, lindgren, and chytil/ Buying him out are honestly no brainer for drury you can completely change the team and make it so much better with all that cap space

my comments: TBL was 18m over the cap.... id def call that ruthless. imho kakko was signed to be traded...so i expect that to happen at the draft. dont stop at goodrow ... trouba, lindgren gloves are off now. (i liked goody as a player but for 4th C he was just too costly. i did not like the buyout structure but to get SJ to take on the full contract is great work by drury.) Imho as long as panarin laf trocheck (statisticly one of the best lines in hockey last season) fox igor are a core... nyr will be a playoff team. restructure around that.

How did they pull it off if it was his no trade list Evan ?

As a die hard rangers fan I’m gonna say something that’s gonna piss a lot of rangers fans off.. Most rangers fans are the dumbs fans in all of sports.. there loyal to the players instead of the team I don’t care what players are on this team as long as they win.. I was heart broken in 94 when they traded my favorite player Mike Gartner but got over it really quick when they won. They also think that they can trade 4 dead weight guys that no one wants for a super star I see some of these trades that fans come up with and can’t stop laughing. I love the rangers not the players on it if get rid of a fan favorite for guys that can help the team win I’m all about it.

Loved Goodrow but 3.6M to use is awesome. Need that money. Drury is absolutely doing great. No crying aloud. Again , I like Barclay and will miss him but this is business.

We can't have a 2 players only top line! Drury has to fix that, he has to stop throwing away assets too, especially if it's to aquire injured players past their prime (Kane), and although I hate to suggest it maybe trading players like Lindgren and Chytil for the type of impact players we need to give the "core" impact players is what needs to happen? Basically, don't just move guys out, get top value for them!

Contracts for Igor and Laff should be priority as far as players they have now.

This necessary move is a spine tingling message to these Rangers. The goal is to win the cup. This current roster players are content with just playing a regular game and getting paid

I hope trouba is next!!!

Who gives a crap if he's not happy. These athletes get me sick with thinking THEY ALWAYS have to be treated better than everybody else. Drury is running a business and sometimes tough choices need to be made and feelings will get hurt. Well that's part of the business they're in and is why they make the BIG MONEY they make. Good for Drury for playing hard ball what was he suppose to do when the team didn't produce give them all raises?

Had to do it

Great Video, as usual, Evan

Glad Goodrow is gone ONLY bc of his contract. Personally i believe he wasnt utilized correctly especially in his first 2 seasons under Gallant 😒. Im done with Kakko and Trouba. Im really excited to see if we get that "Elite" top RWer and id like to see Zadorov in our Dcore. Last thing... id love to see Cuylle Edstrom Rempe 4th line next season. Hope all 3 are working on their faceoffs ☝️🔵⚪️🔴

We all remember what Drury said last season he got rid of a coach because of complaints. he said NO EXCUSES next season. I remember that quote to the team and they failed so now they pay the price.. GET TUFF DRURY

I agree, Trouba, Chytil and KK frees up just under 15 Mil

Your absolutely right with chytil I will say tho I won’t be suprised if he’s here to start season cuz his value is prob lowest it’s been in a while cuz the concussions and Trouba and kakko go without saying if you can move both basically just for cap reasons you should they are all very easily replaceable with more useful players imo

I hope he’s ruthless with Mika and gets him out. Mika looks miserable so maybe he wants out.

Friendship bracelets.. love that comment bro, exactly?! We are still best friends though, right? I mean you don’t return my calls, but I’m sure it’s nothing :)

What does goodrow got to be pissed about? They overpaid him from day 1

Chytil, Kakko, and Trouba can all kick rocks tbh. Take advantage of this offseason and do what Florida did NOW

The Mika line was top 5...5V5 until this moron GM gave Buchnevich away ! and failed to resign Vetrano......Drury is Dead Weight !

Kakko, Chytil can all go. Time to get tough

I approve of the move by Drury. Although I Loved the effort from Barclay Goodrow in the playoffs, and I didn't want to see him go, the rangers had to make a decision that cleared up some cap.

They need to get Gritty I would love Bertuzzi Stamkos Some other pieces Cuz the Core of players is within the 3/5 years. This is best video u ever done 👍👍👍✅✅ 21 Goodrow just wasn't used Right In 3years here. He was SO Gd in playoffs.Going to miss him

Love this move. If the Rangers win the cup in 25, Mike Grier’s name goes onto it 😂

Unfortunately this is fixing a wrong to right imo. I know the thought was to bring in Cup experience, but to me I was really never sold on giving him that length of contract to begin with. I honestly would give this team 1 or maybe 2 chances, if nothing done by this upcoming season or the following season then I would do a complete rebuild. Kreider gone, Panarin gone, Trouba gone...etc

The odd thing is the Rangers want to get bigger and heavier, and the main guy fans want to dump are Goodrow and Trouba. But unloading that contract is masterclass GMing.

The Devils got better in goal so Rangers better get better too

We're trying to win, not make sure everyone's feelings aren't hurt. Love the move by Drury.

This organization doesn't ever make sense. They get rid of the experienced grit they need and keep small defensemen that are overrated and forwards that are injury prone year after year. Trouba at 8 million is not going to win any championships so not trading him will be an anchor. Drury got rid of Pavel Buchnevich who they drafted and has never been able to rectify it. Then he gets 2 small forwards at the most recent trade deadline. Doesn't use the LTIR like the smart teams who win cups do, etc. So of course getting rid of Goodrow makes most everyone think the extra money will be used properly. 1994 could become the new 1940 chant if he keeps messing up.

Good pickup by San Jose

Would be a bad move, he played mostly with Jack/Bratt last year. Those guys are way better than Zib/Kreider obviously, the winger opposite those NYR guys need to be a play driver

And yet 1 more Ufa to the Rangers

I wouldn’t be fully against getting Toffoli but I think rangers would need to get another piece as well as Toffoli in the forward core

A healthy Patrick Kane at 3 million for 2 years and a big power forward will push this team over the edge.

So update SJ claimed BG. Good first step. Trade Kakko and Trouba to Detroit if they are part of his 16 and lets go get some size and speed.

Bird in hand is worth 2 in the bush. Big mistake

Never ever ever buy out players.

I guess a. Edstrom will be 4th center

Why not make Line 2 our Line 1 next year?

Off on a tangent...I am reading Goodrow to San Jose maybe pre-arranged with s subsequent deal to ship a mid-level prospect for left defenseman Ferraro, 25 yo solid puck mover and good defender with a cap hit of 3.25 and we would have term...Anyone else hear this?

Ok now you did I’m pissed! Ok not really, if we sign him to a 3-4 year deal id be ok. There are better options i’d prefer. I think we will get a better idea of who we can get once the oilers complete the reverse sweep.

This will piss any Rangers fan off

Florida will sign him and he'll terrorize us

Great Video, as usual, Evan. I am like you, about the Mixed Feelings on Tyler Toffoli. He'd be OK with The Rangers, be, I don't know that he's part of The Solution. Let me know if you agree & what you think.

Just get Othman up to the team.

Done with this BS team. This should show the direction they are going….NOWHERE. One of your best players in a physical series, that they can never compete in, and they waive him. Been a long time fan, DONE. How bout changing uniform colors also….Pink, white and blue, would be more appropriate.

I love the rags fans that think thwy would have just rolled the oilers in the finals havent heard that talk anymorw ahahha

No surprise. Too much money on that contract. Buyout incoming.

Damn. That’s a brutal way to end up after a good playoff run. Good luck out there Goody.
