Watch him put 5 goals on us.

[Valriera]

Hm, two goals a piece for goodrow and zibanejad. Yikes.

[RichieNextel305]

I don’t blame him. But business is business. I definitely liked Goodrow here and will continue to hope he finds success. He was a good Ranger. And he obviously had some memorable moments during last years playoffs.

 

But, yeah. Business is business. I get him being upset for it. Sure just about anyone would be.

[Keirik]

When we trade for him at the deadline all will be forgiven 

[Abe Froman]

"Reunited, and it feels so good."

[Gravesy]

I'm absolutely flabbergasted he didn't enjoy being loopholed into a move he didn't want. 

That said, it was literally Drury's job to do exactly what he did. 

[Albatrosss]

How cares?  The Jets are a team full of ex rangers and none of them are complaining. 

[Sharpshooter]

I wasn't expecting him to like how everything went down, but I'm sure he's not surprised he's not a Ranger anymore either way. I'd be bummed if I was going to a contender to a team in rebuild mode. Unfortunately that is sports. I am expecting him to score tonight, but hopefully the Rangers score a few more and it won't matter.

Incoming "Welcome Back" video!

Play better hockey akin to your contract and you don't have these worries/concerns/bad blood feelings.

It hurts to see ex Rangers have super success while we sit here and hope our super goalie can carry us.

It'll be a short one, but filled with enough playoff moments that Panarin will shed a tear

There a few rangers players this  season making me she a few tears 

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

Only +475 for any time goal tonight. that's suspiciously low. The books know whats up

[Jdog99]

Goodrow was phenomenal during the playoff run.

 

Can't understand how we couldn't make use of him in a third line role all season and going forward. Makes no sense.

Because he was a miserable regular season performer, and because they needed to make better use of his cap. He had four goals in 80 games. Four. And was a minus-13. Just brutal.

Fine but at least the guy showed up when it mattered...the opposite of all the hot shots we've been paying top dollar...

[Phil]

No disagreement there. @Pete and I always use the saying "there are guys who get you there and guys who get you through." Goodrow was a guy who gets you through. Hopefully someone else steps up big time to fill that void come April/May/June.

Lesson 1: You want a no move clause rather than a no trade clause, then negotiate it, and if it's that important to you, take less money to get it.  

 

Lesson 2:  Make yourself valuable enough that a team isn't happy to give you away for free.
