On February 24th, the San Jose Sharks traded 27-year-old forward Barclay Goodrow and a 2020 third-round pick to the Tampa Bay Lightning for forward Anthony Greco and a 2020 first-round pick.
This move was quite a shock to the Sharks’ fanbase as Goodrow was a fan-favorite and emerging as a solid defensive forward after being signed as an undrafted free agent out of the OHL.
It was even more surprising that the Sharks were able to get a first-rounder in this trade. Until this season, Goodrow was a bottom-six forward averaging around just 11 minutes of ice-time per game.
