Barclay Goodrow’s 10-year NHL career is coming full circle. 

The two-time Stanley Cup winner, whom the Rangers put on waivers Tuesday in an effort to create cap space, was claimed by the team that gave him his first NHL contract, the Sharks, on Wednesday as part of a pre-arranged deal with San Jose, as first reported by The Post. 

The Rangers’ former hockey operations advisor turned Sharks general manager, Mike Grier, and San Jose now assume the remaining three years of Goodrow’s contract. 

Goodrow, who was undrafted, signed with the Sharks after five seasons in the Ontario Hockey League in March 2014. He bounced between the NHL and AHL his first few seasons, but went on to play parts of six seasons with San Jose while also dealing with injuries. 

The reunion makes sense for the Sharks, who could use some veteran leadership during this rebuilding time.

Goodrow gets to keep his $3,641,667 per year deal and return to a familiar place. 

Rangers president and general manager Chris Drury evidently isn’t content with running it back after the club’s second conference final loss in three years.

As clutch as Goodrow was in the playoffs, recording six goals and two assists in 16 games, the 31-year-old struggled to produce during the regular season.

Goodrow, who has served as alternate captain since he signed in New York in 2021, has helped establish a winning approach and attitude in the Rangers locker room, in addition to playing a niche role that doesn’t always get the credit it deserves. 

In 241 games with the Rangers, Goodrow finished with 28 goals and 48 assists.
