The San Jose Sharks made several moves as the National Hockey League got a jump on the offseason. Start with the Sharks claiming playoff hero Barclay Goodrow from the New York Rangers. Start with why this move is head-scratching from the Sharks’ perspective, as they already have a player in the same vein in Luke Kunin, why Goodrow doesn’t help Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith, and whether Goodrow even wants to be in San Jose. Next, the Sharks traded for Ty Dellandrea from the Dallas Stars for a mid-round pick; what are they getting in Dellandrea, and why the cost was negligible? Finally, the Sharks have been reportedly kicking the tires on Cam Atkinson from the Philadelphia Flyers, but Atkinson does not want to go to San Jose. Why the Sharks should be looking for these types of deals.

You can never have enough Kunin & Goodrow type players on a rebuilding team. Goodrow played almost every game on the team that won the President's trophy. He has won two Stanley Cups. It's wild to say this move doesn't help Smith or Celebrini. He was an undrafted player who grew up in the Sharks system and has worked for everything in his career. He has heart and character, which the Sharks severely lacked this past year. He will be a mentor and a great leader a la the "A" on his sweater on a stacked NYR team. We can't all sit here and say the Shark should have got a pick etc as we were not in on those negotiations. Maybe the Sharks were not Goodrow's first choice, but this is a business and he would not have signed here had he gone unclaimed on waivers and was free to sign anywhere. The Sharks have plenty of cap space and need to hit the floor. This is a business, and the Sharks gave Goodrow his shot in the league, in the NHL you reciprocate and remember those things; just like potentially this handshake agreement Grier and Drury had prior to him being put on waivers. We never know what else may come around. Free agents will not be dying to come here, and a short-term commitment many proven hockey minds love this move for the Sharks.
Do you think part of this is that GMMG put some feelers out and no free agents were excited about coming to the team, even with an overpay?
It not your job say a word
Not sure he wants to play on sharks hopefully just rumors
I hope he doesn’t steal time from daniil gushchin. That’s kids very talented
This absolutely was a good move to get Goodrow back IMHO, you want good ppl and good role models around. He’s a big time proven clutch playoff performer, exactly the kind of guy you want around Will and Macklin (especially Smith)
They will add skill, the offseason is not even close to be being done so this is definitely an overreaction. They’re not gonna play the kids with Goodrow haha cmon.. btw the Rangers won a Presidents trophy regardless of his ice time..
JD I love you. The line about Goodrow sharing ice with Celebrini was chef kiss. Angry JD is best JD.
I don't mind the Goodrow move, but the only thing I don't like is that 3rd year. I don't mind trying to make the penalty kill a strength. With Goodrow and hopefully Couture coming back you will now have a stable of dudes to choose from for the PK. Nothing could be worse for a younger team than giving up a goal or two a night on the power play. For years back when the Sharks were first starting to build something under Daryl Sutter, it was the penalty kill that gave them a chance every night. Because the Sharks always had an iffy Power Play back then. Not a great move though, by Mike. I hope there's some future unknown, beneath the surface, considerations for this gift to the Rangers…….😂
Goodrow adds legit veteran presence that similar skill type players like Smith and Kunin severely lack, extreme playoff success. I guarantee it the kids would listen more to what Goodrow has to say about being an NHLer than guys who have bounced around the leagues non contenders as borderline AHLers. I don’t care that his numbers suck or that he doesn’t score goals, that’s not what he was picked up for.
For about 15 minutes this morning after hearing about Dellandrea I thought to myself “Oh my gosh, that’s so smart! They picked him up instead of claiming Goodrow”…and then the waiver was confirmed.
Grier doing the same stuff as he did last year when he created a logjam of mediocre defenseman on the roster.
You know what helps with building confidence of young players like Smith and Celebrini? Winning!!
Couple thoughts.
Goodrow deal not done. I’d expect a second trade coming with more value to the sharks. Otherwise not a smart move. I’ve heard a possible second move is in the cards.
Don’t expect big name players in free agency. 2 spots already filled today. That’s good imo. Maybe one or two targeted players. But id expect the skill level of a domi. Second line skill at most brought in.
Grier has said he doesn’t want to skip steps. Hopefully he sticks to plan. Skipping steps would be to good of free agents pushing you more to bottom 10 then bottom 5. That would really hurt the sharks. I hope we target a player like domi. Has skill but also that protection player. Anyone touches Mack or will. Domi down to step in. Can also help with some skill, but not enough to tip the scales.
Smart still taking shots on reclamation/new scenery moves. I wouldn’t mind a couple more. Especially on the D end.
I’m on board for looking to flip Ferraro at this draft for a late first or early second. If need to add a sweetener to get, I’m down. Ferraro and a 5th/6th or 7th. Anything later then top 40 pick. Just keep ferraro. Replace temporary in free agency with around a rutta skill level, short cheapish contact.
Maybe the rangers trade us Gabe Perrault for taking Goodrow for them 😂😂😂
Saw an interesting statline showing that goodrow didn’t get any offensive zone time last season compared to the year before where he got like 40% which is a big difference in the point show.
Sorry, I love your work and this is not all I got from this episode, but “helping out a rival team”? Are the Rangers a rival team for some reason I’m unaware or?
Goodrow here not to play with Celebrini and Smith on same line, he is here to protect/watch kids. Goodrow not afraid to fight and Sharks really needs this kind of player around younger players.
