Barclay Goodrow has ‘turned the page’ on Rangers after surprising Sharks move

Barclay Goodrow is “in a good place” as he enters his second stint with the Sharks, who claimed him off waivers from the Rangers in June in a stunning post-playoff series of events.

Goodrow, who played a crucial role in the Blueshirts’ Stanley Cup push last season, landed with a rebuilding Sharks team despite the “widespread belief” he had San Jose on his 15-team, no-trade list, The Post’s Larry Brooks previously reported, as Rangers GM Chris Drury placed him on waivers and San Jose staked a claim.

“We talked for a while and he’s in a good place and he’s excited,” first-year Sharks coach Ryan Warsofsky said Saturday at the 2024-25 South Carolina Stingrays Fan Fest at North Charleston, according to NHL.com.

“He’s obviously been in San Jose before, and he knows some of the guys. He and [captain Logan Couture] are really close, so that helps. I think he’s kind of turned the page on New York now. This is a business and that’s part of life.”

Goodrow spent the majority of the first six seasons of his NHL career with the Sharks before being traded to the Lightning ahead of their Stanley Cup run during the 2019-20 season.

He was part of the Tampa Bay team that became back-to-back champions in 2020-21.
