josh Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Tampa literally can't afford him.

ThirtyONE Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Vince also saying he doesn't think rangers plan on protecting him Correct because he's a UFA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodrigueGabriel Posted July 17, 2021 Share Posted July 17, 2021 Correct because he's a UFA.Well, a little confusing because the Mercogliano article said nothing about protecting anyone. He said they don't intend to sign DeSimone but they very much DO intend to sign Goodrow pre-free agency. So that's what I took the reference to be.

josh Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 David Pagnotta @TheFourthPeriod · 24m Sounds like the Rangers & Barclay Goodrow are already closing in on a contract. Not sure if it’s done yet, but trending in that direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Albatrosss Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 It’d be Drury’s first UFA signing. Wonder for how much he caves in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 18, 2021 Author Share Posted July 18, 2021 Can they even extend him now? Is it even remotely smart to do so if he's not on the protected list? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Can they even extend him now? Is it even remotely smart to do so if he's not on the protected list? I think it's just a trade freeze, based on what I've seen. I thought not protecting him would be dumb to begin with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 This is a good move at essentially no cost, but it's not the move to get and protect a player another team couldn't protect that Drury should have made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been described as a roster freeze. That obviously includes trades, but might also include signings. Have to imagine that's the case given how protection lists work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just a trade freeze, based on what I've seen. I thought not protecting him would be dumb to begin with. It was a freeze on trades, waivers, and signings according to the link from Sporting News I shared in the other thread today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Who did we protect? I assumed that would be public knowledge. If we're signing him he'd have to be protected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bugg Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Vince also saying he doesn't think rangers plan on protecting him Plausible if you sign him for what’s rumored they don’t take him even if exposed. Goodrow and Blackwell is 2/6s of the bottom 6? Sent from my iPhone using Blueshirts Brotherhood mobile app powered by Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThirtyONE Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Goodrow took 172 faceoffs this year and posed a 50% win rate. So it seems he's more than capable of playing center or wing. I guess Drury sees him as a wing re: Horvat deal. Horvat's FO% was 52.7 Both would be upgrades over literally everyone else on the current roster.

Horvat's FO% was 52.7 Both would be upgrades over literally everyone else on the current roster.I still think the team face off percentage is a reflection of the system and not of the centermen. There's really just no way all of your centers can be so bad on faceoffs. Faceoffs are really a team statistic. If Quinn was preaching for the wings to skate out to their position as fast as they can, they're not going to help centermen win the draw. I keep saying it, but there are plenty of times where our Center has pulled the puck back, but the other team gains control of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted July 18, 2021 Share Posted July 18, 2021 Agreed. There's a skill to it, but even the best FO winning centers don't win the majority of them clean. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I know is the Rangers seemingly never won a face off and it feels like it's been an issue for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
