Originally an undrafted forward, Goodrow debuted with the Sharks in 2014-15. He signed with San Jose after a strong final year of junior hockey the year prior. In 2019-20, the Sharks traded Goodrow to the Lightning, where he won the Stanley Cup in each of the last two seasons.<\/p>\n<p>Across the start of his career, Goodrow scored 32 goals and 61 assists for 93 total points in 331 games. Last year, he scored 6 goals and 14 assists for 20 points in 55 contests. He&#8217;s never reached double-digits in goals, but racked up 553 career hits and 220 blocked shots. His solid two-way game made him a regular in the lineup when healthy.<\/p>\n<h3>What This Means for the Future<\/h3>\n<p>Getting Goodrow signed provides hard-working, winning experience to the lineup in New York. Though he only averages 12:42 in ice time across his career, that number reached 14:47 on average over the last two years in Tampa Bay. The 27-year old is a player reaching the prime of his playing career, and he plays the kind of game that is a necessity on winning lineups. Teams need depth to win in the Stanley Cup Playoffs, and Goodrow embodies that perfectly. His ice time average reaches even higher peaks in the postseason, where he logged 17:46 per game over the last two Championship years with the Lightning. That&#8217;s nearly three minutes more per night than he gets in the regular season.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers own a ton of young talent, having taken <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/l\/lafreal01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Alexis Lafreniere<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/k\/kakkoka01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Kaapo Kakko<\/a> at 1st and 2nd overall, respectively, over the last two seasons.

Now, Barclay Goodrow signed to provide winning experience and hard-nosed play on the bottom half of the lineup.<\/p>\n<p>This team should be taking the next step and fight for a playoff spot next year. Should they get in, Goodrow&#8217;s value will really shine. Locking him up for such a long term came at a surprise, but its good certainty at a mid-range pay grade. It appears Goodrow believes the Rangers are entering their Cup window, and wants to be there for it all.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"WhPieY3YRWRrisHv2kVCGQ\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1327568792\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'WhPieY3YRWRrisHv2kVCGQ',sig:'XoX060S2Qx7XitJEC1jDI9zPTC52nrHlBR81fzWyWz4=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1327568792',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York Rangers signed Barclay Goodrow, their unrestricted free agent forward, to a six-year contract worth $21.6 million, or $3.6 million per season.
