Speculation: 2023-24-25 Sharks Roster Discussion

Id 100% waive him before is buy him out.

 

[Lebanezer]

Who, Goodrow?

Yup. I went to the game against Pittsburgh and I can’t remember him ever possessing the puck. It was laughable.

Almost anyone could provide more value on the ice, we should play the kids, see if they can make some value for themselves and we could trade them if they do.

 

[Anomie2029]

I wonder if there’s a chance he’d mutually terminate his contract?

No chance because a) it would require the Sharks waiving him, which they won’t do; and b) there is absolutely no chance he gets a contract anywhere else - even at league minimum.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

Any which way that gets Goodrow off the team should be exhausted. We can trade him for a worse contract that has some actual use even if they suck. I’d trade him for Jarry and have him back up Askarov if they’re worried about optics here for some reason. We should be spending as much as possible to help Celebrini and the rest of the group.

 

[Jargon]

Is Goodrow on the 4th line really an issue? I mean, I feel like we have bigger fish to fry. And I’m not talking about our current lineup which no longer has Granlund and has 3 top 9 injuries.

I don’t care if he’s on the 4th line on a team that has depth to push him there.

That said, one thing that bugs me a little about Goodrow is that when he first played for the Sharks, he was very exuberant on the bench, rallied people, riled everyone up, etc. This time around, he looks like his soul has been removed from his body, so I can’t tell if he’s actually a good mentor or if he’s angry and pouting. If it’s the latter, then yeah, get rid of him.

 

[timorous me]

I'm not about to make any predictions, but I don't think Goodrow being on the team next year is a fait accompli. Safe to say the Sharks' brass didn't expect him to be just as bad as he's been this year, and since it's kind of hard to see much chance of a rebound, I think there's a legitimate chance that they're going to be discussing buying him out over the summer. I guess it sort of depends on how intent they are on being better next year.

It's not the most important thing since it's safe to say this team won't be angling for a playoff berth a year from now, but eliminating Goodrow from this roster for simply your bog standard 4th liner would probably mean a few fewer losses this season.

Goodrow is going to play out this season, have an injury for most of next season that keeps him out for a large chunk of time, then play sporadically in his final season with tons of healthy/not healthy scratches before fading into the ether.
