okay, I rarely comment but I gotta vent about Goodrow. I watch every Rangers game. Dude is an absolute horse. He played 80 games this season but what that number doesnt tell you is he played about 20 of those games with his JAW WIRED SHUT. He broke his jaw, missed a game, came back in a bubble, and played the rest of the season. And people were wondering why he wasn't producing while he's on an all liquid diet. Absolute swiss army knife for his entire tenure as a Ranger. Center gets hurt? Slot in Goody. RIght wing gets hurt? Slot in Goody. Gives up the body on every PK. Can't say enough about him as a player and a competitor. I like having the cap space and I trust Drury to make some good moves, but for his time as a Ranger, he was worth every last penny.
As a Sharks fan I always loved the guy, very happy to have him back. The cap space isn't a problem for us, we're 10 mil under the floor, his contract end when Smith and Celebrini's ELC ends. His game 7 OT goal will always be loved among Sharks fans.
@@85blutch Too bad he DOESNT WANT TO BE THERE AND WILL IMMEDIATELY ASK FOR A TRADE. To me this is a scummy move but smart. If the NHLPA is smart they might want to adress this in the next negoations of u cant waive a player to get around his no trade clause.
Well said. If Goodrow's salary was under $2.5 mil, no one would be complaining about his offensive output. He's an elite bottom 6 forward and defensively sound.
I don’t think any Rangers fan is taking too much stock in Goodrow’s playoff run. Guy has been invisible for basically the rest of his tenure here, opens up cap space, and gives an opportunity for some of the younger guys to get in the lineup
Exactly. He had a couple good games in the playoffs this year but they were a fluke compared to his overall tenure with the Rangers. Even before this playoff, there was this narrative that we needed him because he was a Playoff Performer™ despite the fact he had never performed in the playoffs either. I get keeping guys around for “vetchrin presents” but you can’t spend Goodrow’s cap hit on a guy like that.
From my understanding about why the season is starting later is because of ESPN. ESPN is making the league wait to start until after ESPN's coverage of the MLB Wild Card series are over since ESPN has the rights to a fair amount of those games
That’s right. It’s got nothing to do with preseason. The US TV companies want to avoid MLB playoffs and minimize the overlap with football. The NBA is cramming in more games in a week than the NHL, but we don’t hear NHL players skipping games for “load management.”
But thats on the NHL not negotiable enough to stop acting like the little guy Cut the preseason and make those TV slots because some do get televised and make them regular game starts
Jesus H, stop running betterhelp ads. They have been selling customer's private health information to advertisers and have done it so much that the FTC is investigating, do better.
Great show, as usual. This weekend in Finland we celebrate midsummer and it is mostly absurd that the NHL final starts after 3am our time and the sun rises at 3.55am and I'm watching hockey while enjoying sunrise
The discussion around Goodrow shows why eye test vs analytics are important. Yes, Goodrow produced well in the playoffs. But he shot 40% and got caved in pretty much every game. Even with him shooting 40% the Rangers were still outscored in his minutes. Seeing a guy score on a few chances seems to really cover up the glaring issues in his game. Like Jesse said you can’t bank on Goodrow doing that again next year. Edit: Steve continues and sites Goodrow’s playoff game total as a reason for why he’s worth his contract. The Sharks, Lightning and Rangers were good cuz of their star players, not because of Goodrow. We see this all the time with bottom6 guys on teams that go far in the playoffs. They are role players who hit a sh% bender and suddenly their “playoff performers”. There are a dozen+ guys who could’ve filled the role of Goodrow this year (and previous years) but they didn’t have the benefit of playing on a great team. This is how you end up with Roussel and Beagle contracts.
I genuinely can't believe how close Steve got this group to finding out that the two trades they were ripping on are actually, on average, pretty close in value according to the draft pick value calc... Of course Adam had to keep the podcast away from due diligence - can't have that
Love how they talk about giving homage to how many championships the team has on their jersey, after they crap on the Oil slick jersey designed by Macfarlane that has 5 veins on the sprocket to signify the 5 Stanley cup wins.
I know it doesn't matter and the guys aren't gonna see this, but the new Kings logo didn't leak with the PLD thank you tribute. That was still the old logo. It just was coloured differently so people assumed it was the new one, the Kings even clarified themselves it was still the old one.
The NHL Finals used to be done by the first couple days of June and that felt too late. What is currently happening with the schedule is insane for a winter sport, as well as messing up GMs going into the entry draft and free agency. Start the season on October 1st and have a lot less exhibition games.
Jessie, regards to the Ohio State helmet stickers. They are not stars, they are Buckeyes. And they are given those stickers for good plays, not to represent Championships.
Steve you are right. I am a Kings fan who has lived in Sharks territory since 2010 and the current Sharks team is historically terrible. But in 2016 they made the Stanley Cup finals, and in recent history they have won far more rounds than your beloved Leafs. And with Smith and Cellibrini, good goalies, and a few more years of top picks their chances of a cup run is better than the Leafs, especially when they resign Mitch
I feel like this waiver move is going to end up biting teams in the ass. If players lose faith in the value of a NTC, they're going to expect to make up that compensation in terms of salary. I wouldn't be shock to see player be less enthused about taking team friendly contracts with NTCs attached to them.
Just to comment on Cossa as a person who has watched him live he is really good. He helped the Oil Kings to a championship and even though his numbers aren’t other worlds I bet he plays at least 500 games in the NHL.
Why does regular season production not matter for some, matter for others same with playoff production... Goodrow wasn't good in the playoffs he was just lucky, he's no where near worth the money and nobody is paying 3.6M for experience. + Guys without trade protection go places they don't want to be all the time.
14:30 I feel like the same thing happened with Vancouver and Boudreau. If they were terrible this year with Tocchet people would still be talking about how they embarrassed Boudreau last year but since they had a good season and improved everybody is applauding the management with Allvin being second in GM of the year voting
To explain Yzermans philosphy in regards to the Cossa Pick trade, essentially he had a billion picks(like 2 firsts and 3 seconds and 3 Thirds approx) and already had his farm system stocked from previous drafts. He essentially sacrificed some value to go get his guy for however flawed you think that logic is.
I'd like to see a limit that teams have to meet. Maybe 4 No Move clauses and a total of 10 with some sort of trade protection. (I found a bunch of teams with 5 NMC, only found Edmonton with 6)
With the pick the Wings got Cossa, that was their second first round pick, they picked Edvinsson 6th over all. Jesse is terrible at building through the draft so I'll trust Yzerman over him.
If Barclay isnt happy, then he should not have woefully underperformed his contract. No one should be paying 3.6 million for a 4th liner who scores only 4 goals in 80 games in the regular season. Sorry Steve, no one is "up in arms" over waiving an overpaid underperforming millionaire.
Do you think the Leafs' "injury prone goalie" situation could be connected to the fitness staff? I know they're good, but doesn't anyone know how to prevent goalies from snapping a ligament every time they overextend a leg?
22:30 Sharks can't retain on Goodrow. Their retention spots are filled up with Burns, Karlsson & Hertl. They could get a third team in on it, but they'd probably have to pay and not the receiving team
With Boston’s parade extravaganza they lost 5 championship series as well(bruins 2011/2019, and 3 patriots defeats) during that time frame. That number could have been way bigger.
I don't understand why you would be upset that the season is "too long". More hockey is always preferred to less hockey. I almost wonder if Steve, Adam, and Jesse are only complaining because they are sick of working. I don't care if it's hot outside, that doesn't change how much I want to watch hockey.
I think the point people are missing in the Goodrow situation is circumventing a guy's no trade clause is not acting in good faith and you can't be surprised when the players' association looks at this next time they sit down at the bargaining table. So, sure this is good from the NYR point of view, but if/when it has repercussions that impact everyone else, the other GMs won't be happy.
here's the twist -> Goodrow (Toronto/Aurora guy) + Ferraro (Toronto boy) = Leafs trade -> Tavares (Toronto kid)????? Doug Wilson (DW) talked to JT about signing in San Jose before signing in Toronto... i also see this as a play for San Jose to attempt to attract more veterans (Stammer?!!!) in this offseason, Barcs scored the biggest goal in SJS history.... but fair he has "moved on" (so possibly they ship him to Toronto/hometown at the deadline, or something like that) I know many fans are excited (as am I) about this grab off waivers.....agree 1,000% with Jessie -> Leafs/Treliving are in on EVERYTHING
No surprise I’m weighing in on a CGY-Leafs take again. Their may have been some owner interference on the Zadorov aspect though I’m not sold on that. I think when it comes to Tanev and Markstrom it just came down to the Flames accepting what they felt was the best offer. If you look at what the Leafs gave up for their deadline acquisitions, and Brads trade history, it seems clear that Brad was unwilling to meet the price the Flames got for either. He loves his role player trades but that’s about it unless he’s forced to do it.
To win a STANLEY CUP the Leafs need a true, #1 stud defenceman, preferably right-handed. They need to sign two more good R-D. They need a lot of playing time together with better defensive team coaching. They need better and more inventive special teams system. They need to fill 6 forward spots. This will require at least two years of really intelligent team building ( no Shanahan ).
It's possible for Vegas to trade MAF for nothing and also give him a heads up so he doesn't find out on Twitter. You can make tough decisions without being an asshole. Same with New York. They could have waived Goodrow and also let him know. You guys keep saying Vegas is justified because they won but they could have done the same move and not been dicks about it
I don't understand all these people expecting Goodrow to be a whiny, petulant child who stomps his feet and crosses his arms and says "I don't wanna so I'm not gonna!" He has never been that kind of player.
NBA players also conduct the dreaded load management. A top player ends up playing, maybe, 55-65 games and so you can accelerate the season. There are dead stretches of games due to marquee players out of the lineup and not many people caring about the NBA regular season anyway.
The Problem with Edmonton is I think the first 3 they werent going high so coudlnt score then started going high and in g4 scored 8 and in five and six scored five each. They've figured out how to beat Bob and thats go high.
With potentially Cowen, Mitten, Knies and Robertson filling some holes. I think a concentration on defence and goal will strengthen this team. Even if Marner was to go it isn't going to fill every need BUT next year we will be in much better shape to chisel out this team. Would be nice to keep Domi but not for over 4 million.
Did you miss the most obvious option? They claimed Goodrow so they can flip him for another 1st for him half retained come playoffs. Who wouldn't want him at half retention?
There's no hidden bad contract team's like Arizona and Columbus ... New owners and New/Old GM.... Gary's Bettman little circle of excellence award.....😂
Watching Steve die inside hearing Boston's longest championship drought Also super happy for the two year olds who haven't experienced a Boston championship 🎉
Did they really not talk about the PLD Kuemper trade in this episode? I’m shocked if so lol I hope they do more than just the instant analysis video on it
I know that legally the NHLPA doesn’t have much ground to stand on here, but this is HORRIBLE from the players POV. Imagine if you’re about to get bought out, you’re still getting the money from a previous team, now I can sign for a contender and get paid by TWO teams. Now not only is that gone, but I’m on the worst team in the NHL.
After being Johnny on the spot to kick off the last big burn it all down of the Ottawa Senators, I'm not certain Hoffman is the guy you want in a young dressing room or sharing a taxi with impressionable players and thought it strange when they traded for him. You want some veterans in the room of a young roster, but it has to be the right kind of veterans that can be good role models. I'd take a less talented veteran every time in San Jose, who puts in an honest effort and I don't have to worry about being a bad mentor.

As a Sharks fan, Steve almost calling Vlasic "Flaccid" was painfully accurate. 😭
Yep, Steve barely dodged a real boner. By a foot.
AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
You know a guy that would really help San Jose meet the cap floor?
Mitch Marner
Marner in exchange for the whole Sharks team. That would be a fair trade.
Don't want this loser anywhere near our young guys.
That would be perfect for mitch as he wouldn't have to play playoff games avs can go to baseball
Podcast dropped right after my tooth extraction. Will def dull the pain - you guys are a comfort. ♥
I’m sure the first five minutes helped
Jesse counting the argos is the most Jesse thing of all time lmao
THEY COUNT TO ME, DAMMIT!
If the sens did that to Goodrow it would cost them 7 first round picks
It's bad for the league cause it's going to kill waivers to, and it's clear tampering
Steve: Casually drops "to rub off on the young guys"
Also Steve: "NOOO DON'T SAY ABDUCT! ITS BAD"
Sure sign that summer is here. Half an hour discussion on Barclay Goodrow.

100% correct. Rangers cap situation is too tight to pay a 4th liner who is over 30, slow and doesn't score 3.6 million a year.
Goodrow shot 40% though in this post season, can’t bank on that happening again
From my understanding about why the season is starting later is because of ESPN. ESPN is making the league wait to start until after ESPN's coverage of the MLB Wild Card series are over since ESPN has the rights to a fair amount of those games

@jeffe2267 Let's be honest, shaving your balls is one of their most wholesome advertisers at this point.
Rangers did this to clear more cap space to give shesterkin a massive extension. They also need to extend laffy next year

Good segment on Goodrow.
Wait a minute regular season performance matters for contracts?
Wouldnt know if i heard the discourse about Marner.
Exactly. The fact is that the 82 games in the regular season swings far more weight than the playoffs.
1:18:50
All of Steve’s predictions were wrong! 😂
:O!!! The Leafs are going to add a vein next season! Woo!!
This show rocks
Did they cover the PLD trade. Didn't hear about it until the la kings logo segment
They did a separate video on it
mining bananas while watching
Mantha is 29, and will become an UFA - so can't really give him a QO...
This is the best year of my life beating mantle cell lymphoma cancer and now the oilers could do the impossible
Prospects pan out depending on the team they’re drafted to as well tho so sometimes it is beneficial to move up depending on what u need.
Just to comment on Cossa as a person who has watched him live he is really good. He helped the Oil Kings to a championship and even though his numbers aren’t other worlds I bet he plays at least 500 games in the NHL.

The bolts on the oilers gear represents their cups

If they were terrible this year with Tocchet people would still be talking about how they embarrassed Boudreau last year but since they had a good season and improved everybody is applauding the management with Allvin being second in GM of the year voting
this ones gonna be good buckle up
I say we keep mitch and pay him 13.5 for 8
Shoutout to Wyatt Johnston for indirectly ending up being the biggest asset in 2 trades involving the pick Dallas used to abduct him.
To explain Yzermans philosphy in regards to the Cossa Pick trade, essentially he had a billion picks(like 2 firsts and 3 seconds and 3 Thirds approx) and already had his farm system stocked from previous drafts. He essentially sacrificed some value to go get his guy for however flawed you think that logic is.
The no trade clauses have become ridiculous… so this is the result!
I'd like to see a limit that teams have to meet. Maybe 4 No Move clauses and a total of 10 with some sort of trade protection. (I found a bunch of teams with 5 NMC, only found Edmonton with 6)
In retrospect it's hilarious how Steve said McDavid scoring was a free space when he didn't even record a shot or point.
Guy's... isn't the NBA first round is a 5 game series not 7 like the NHL??..
Nevermind answered it.. both same 7 game series lol 😂😂
54 years on this planet and 4 championships, Blue Jays 2X, TFC, and Raptors.
I’m a 24 year old from Boston.. feel that lol first part
With the pick the Wings got Cossa, that was their second first round pick, they picked Edvinsson 6th over all. Jesse is terrible at building through the draft so I'll trust Yzerman over him.

Nah people are right, the season is way too long. You're very much in the minority and most people check out from hockey because of it. I know I do.
AHHHHHHHAHAHA! STEVE GOT CREAM PIED!!! 🤣🤣
Cossa was well worth the trade. Im absolutely hyped about cossa.
Yzerman picked vassy. I think I'll accept his trade up for cossa

When I look at the now old minimalist la kings logo all I see is Major League Baseball
Actually still don't mind grabbing Cossa, don't really care about a 2nd and a 5th. Wings had a ton of those, they made three 2nd round picks in 2023.
You forgot TFC’s 2017 title. That was a fantastic team.
As for the seasons? I think it's because the NHL all star break is like 2 weeks long and the NBA one is like 5 days.
No surprise I’m weighing in on a CGY-Leafs take again. Their may have been some owner interference on the Zadorov aspect though I’m not sold on that.
I think when it comes to Tanev and Markstrom it just came down to the Flames accepting what they felt was the best offer.

So what you are saying is the core 4 is even more corer than before because they are taking up more of the cap?
1:04:43 woll, from St. Louis Missouri.
Pretty hard to move Elvis when Jack Campbell is basically the same goalie on the same contract with a far more motivated seller.
Steve, you rescue Goodrow by sending him to Edmonton as a depth forward. Return could be a goalie of some sort.
To win a STANLEY CUP the Leafs need a true, #1 stud defenceman, preferably right-handed. They need to sign two more good R-D. They need a lot of playing time together with better defensive team coaching. They need better and more inventive special teams system. They need to fill 6 forward spots.

I hope the Oil will win the cup. I expect the Oil to win tonight at home. What happens in game 7 is up in the air
Normally I would be all about hating Boston but as a Canadian Celtics fan let’s go!!!!!!
We can and we will
Can't beleaf that they would disrespect a 2× champion
With potentially Cowen, Mitten, Knies and Robertson filling some holes. I think a concentration on defence and goal will strengthen this team. Even if Marner was to go it isn't going to fill every need BUT next year we will be in much better shape to chisel out this team. Would be nice to keep Domi but not for over 4 million.
Cowan and Minten are at least 2 seasons away. Probably more.
Did you miss the most obvious option? They claimed Goodrow so they can flip him for another 1st for him half retained come playoffs. Who wouldn't want him at half retention?
They can't retain. If they flip him, it will be for a worse contract.
So that Detroit thing with Cossa? They took him OVER Wallstedt.
There's no hidden bad contract team's like Arizona and Columbus ... New owners and New/Old GM.... Gary's Bettman little circle of excellence award.....😂
are teams allowed to use their third jerseys in the playoffs?
Love the star wars reference title

I liked Goodrow, and it sucks how they did him dirty. I am wondering if they needed to do that to have room to really give shesty a good deal to stay.
Watching Steve die inside hearing Boston's longest championship drought
Also super happy for the two year olds who haven't experienced a Boston championship 🎉

Did they really not talk about the PLD Kuemper trade in this episode? I’m shocked if so lol I hope they do more than just the instant analysis video on it
They did a separate video on that.
"Draisaitl busts through, or the Oilers depth scoring dries up. Mcdavid scoring is the free space." Wow, 0 for 3!
These guys have Toronto Maple Leafs brain. So many years of watching failure, they just can't see it any other way.
boston drought of men’s league championships
I know that legally the NHLPA doesn’t have much ground to stand on here, but this is HORRIBLE from the players POV. Imagine if you’re about to get bought out, you’re still getting the money from a previous team, now I can sign for a contender and get paid by TWO teams. Now not only is that gone, but I’m on the worst team in the NHL.
After being Johnny on the spot to kick off the last big burn it all down of the Ottawa Senators, I'm not certain Hoffman is the guy you want in a young dressing room or sharing a taxi with impressionable players and thought it strange when they traded for him. You want some veterans in the room of a young roster, but it has to be the right kind of veterans that can be good role models. I'd take a less talented veteran every time in San Jose, who puts in an honest effort and I don't have to worry about being a bad mentor.
Want to see more screaming and yelling from Steven!
