Barclay Goodrow started his NHL career with the San Jose Sharks, quickly becoming a forward with a name on the team. When he heard he was being traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning, he shared a message of heartfelt gratitude towards the staff and fans who helped him algon the way.
However, after a more brief stint with the Tampa Bay Lightning and subsequently the New York Rangers, Goodrow will head back to San Jose once again. The Sharks claimed the veteran forward off waivers to make him their third-highest-paid forward on the team.
Yet, with what most people would expect to be a joyous reunion for Goodrow based on his 2020 comments, is instead a bitter return. According to a source named Larry Brooks, the veteran forward felt betrayed by the move. The San Jose Sharks were on the player's no-trade list, meaning Rangers general manager Chris Drury found the one way to get around this by placing him on waivers.
It remains unknown if Rangers GM Chris Drury did this with the explicit intention of sending him back to his first NHL team. Regardless, Barclay Goodrow can expect to be welcomed back to the San Jose Sharks with open arms, whether he wants to be there or not.
