Huh, I was unaware the Sharks had a bunch of undrafted two time cup champion just laying around prior to Barclay’s arrival.

I’m not tryna make Goodrow into something he’s not. He is not an offensive difference maker and is no longer a two way force; but as fashionable as it is to shit on Barclay, I’m glad he is a voice in that locker room instead of guys like Labanc or Hoffman.

Goodrow’s Cup experience is about as relevant as Gretzky’s Cup experience now. It doesn’t make them NHL quality players. That’s more important than their past. They would’ve been just as fine without his voice.

You and I have different opinions. That’s okay.

If Goodrow was a 4th liner and PKed, that'd be fine. Will Smith looked at his best in the games when he played with Granlund and Kostin (ie not Kunin/Goodrow who have zero skill). Would be nice if we could go back to the formula that worked...Kovalenko/Zetterlund-Granlund-Smith would be great

Avs fan dropping by. On the main board, it seems like we agree this was mutually beneficial. Hopefully Kovalenko makes it a good trade for you too.

FWIW, the Goodrow line with Smith scored the Sharks' first goal, though Smith wasn't involved in the play.

Congrats on Mackenzie's first win

Thanks. He deserved a shutout but he was truly great tonight.
