You're still praying that someone claims Goodrow (ain't happening). Rangers did this early waiver so if no takers....a buyout likely.

True, but even if not like you said a buyout is likely what comes next then and will open up cap space. They'll have to find money somehow no matter what to make necessary changes; can't run it back with the current team after the way they flamed out

No one wants Goodrow, He has one of the worst contracts in the league

SJ doesn ot want him for free let alone giving up a 7th. Your boy is a cap dump so time to just pay the buyout

Kane is estimated at 2*6+ mil. Don't see him taking this deal, but one can hope.

Credible rumors say San Jose claims him

Then the San Jose GM should be fired. Personally I don't much credence in "credible rumours". it's 99% of the time, it's writers or broadcasters just making stuff up to get clicks/viewership. That's their job to get clicks/viewership not to relate facts or even honest opinions.

You quote the NY Post as credible
