San Jose Sharks forward Barclay Goodrow is unhappy with the New York Rangers because of how his journey back to San Jose went down.
According to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, there is widespread belief that Goodrow had the Sharks on his 15-team no-trade list.
"After speaking to multiple sources on Wednesday, there is widespread belief that Barclay Goodrow had included the Sharks on his 15-team, no-trade list that GM Chris Drury got around by placing No. 21 on waivers, where San Jose exercised the first claim to take the two-time Cup-winner," Brooks writes. "We're told that Goodrow's 15-trade list included teams in less-than-desirable locations and those who are not contenders. San Jose would fit into that last category. But the 31-year-old's feelings did not enter into this."
Goodrow has three years remaining on his contract, with a cap hit of $3,641,667. The Rangers are working to shed salary this summer, and with Goodrow's role on the team, he was a player in a position they could not afford.
"We've been told by several folks that Goodrow — who scored six goals in 16 postseason matches after recording four in 80 games during the regular season — is not happy about how this went down. I guess I don't blame him," Brooks said.
The Sharks need to bring in veteran players to complement their NHL club, which is full of young prospects like Will Smith and the expected No. 1 pick, Macklin Celebrini.
There is a report that there was a pre-arranged deal for the Sharks to claim the two-time Stanley Cup Champion, but there haven't been any transactions between San Jose and New York following the claim. That doesn't mean something won't happen eventually, but it is something to remember should Sharks GM Mike Grier and Rangers GM Chris Drury make another deal.
They both attended Boston University, and Grier worked in the Rangers' front office before becoming the San Jose Sharks' GM. Because of their history, it is speculated that the two former NHLers turned GMs have a working relationship. They were teammates on the Buffalo Sabres during their playing days.
