Barclay Goodrow is apparently furious at the New York Rangers after he was claimed on waivers by the San Jose Sharks today.

Sharks general manager Mike Grier decided to add a veteran depth forward in Goodrow after his remarkable playoff run where he scored six goals after just 4 in the regular season. Notably, San Jose is where he began his NHL career, although at the time, Doug Wilson was still general manager of the team.

The Sharks have claimed Barclay Goodrow off waivers.

Goodrow started his NHL career in San Jose. 🦈

Goodrow signed a six-year deal with the Rangers after winning two Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning. The contract includes a 15-team no-trade list. Reportedly, he had the Sharks on that list and was not willing to waive his no-move to go there. This is supposedly the reason the team put him on waivers, so the Sharks could claim him, bypassing the no-trade clause altogether.

«There is widespread belief that Barclay Goodrow had #SJSharks on his 15-team no-trade list that #NYR GM Chris Drury got around by placing him on waivers, where San Jose claimed him.

We've been told by several folks Goodrow is not happy about how this went down.» |

It is not clear why the Sharks want Goodrow though. He was one of the worst regular players in the regular season and still has three years left at an exuberant 3.6 million dollar cap hit. Currently, he is the second-highest paid forward on the Sharks.

Rangers get the cap space for free, Goodrow gets his money, Sharks get... leadership?

Hard not to feel like they should have gotten something for taking on three years of this deal. #SJSharks
