Goodrow Back Skating With Sharks, New Jersey Numbers for Ceci & More

Barclay Goodrow is back in San Jose.

Before this weeks Captain Skate, the last time that Goodrow wore teal on the ice was in Feb.

As it turned out, this was the only way for San Jose to re-acquire Goodrow, who had the Sharks on his 15-Team No-Trade List.

It didnt seem personal: Goodrow had played in five of the last six Conference Finals, going back to 2019, while the San Jose Sharks had missed the playoffs for five straight seasons and counting.

But the Sharks, valuing Goodrows leadership, experience, and two-way game, claimed him off waivers anyway, circumventing the players No-Trade List.

Goodrow still hasnt spoken publicly about the transaction and didnt today the San Jose Sharks told San Jose Hockey Now that Goodrow will address the media when training camp begins on Sept.

19 but all summer, the organization, from GM Mike Grier to free agent signing Tyler Toffoli, stressed that Goodrow was ready to start a new chapter in his career with his first NHL team.

Its a different role than Goodrow has been accustomed to, but its a big job, helping to bring the Sharks back to respectability, and mold top prospects Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith into winning NHLers.

It looks like Goodrow is ready to embrace that.
