Yeah, not much chance he was going to stay on. I do feel kind of bad for the guy, though. It was really a lose/lose situation. The owners were hell bent on a salary cap, the NHLPA had no choice but to go with it. If Goodenow had agree to it up front, he would have been weak. Then, as soon as he said no, he couldn't flip flop.
I don't think anyone could have done much better with what he had to work with. The only major mistake he made was passing on the deal to save last season. He should have realized it wasn't going to get any better.
