San Jose Sharks GM Mike Grier said Barclay Goodrow is likely still processing unceremonious departure from New York Rangers
FILE – New York Rangers center Barclay Goodrow plays against the Detroit Red Wings in the first period of an NHL hockey game Friday, April 5, 2024, in Detroit. The New York Rangers have put Goodrow on waivers as the first step of their offseason plan.
“When you look at it from his point of view, since he left, he’s won two Cups and played in two conference finals. So I think it was just a little bit of a shock to the system and something that was emotionally hard for him. But I think there’s some excitement to come back here and be around the group.”
Goodrow’s deal carries a $3.64 million annual cap hit, a salary not problematic for a Sharks team with tens of millions in cap space. Grier was looking for players with Goodrow’s qualities as a hard-nosed leader who can take defensive zone draws and kill penalties. In overtime of Game 7 of San Jose’s first-round series with the Vegas Golden Knights, Goodrow took a pass from Erik Karlsson inside the blue line, skated toward the Vegas net, and scored around goalie Marc-Andre Fleury to give the Sharks a series-clinching 5-4 win.Barclay Goodrow, back with the Sharks, reportedly unhappy about Rangers’ move
