“Barclay has been an extremely valuable, team-first player to our organization for the past six seasons,” said general manager Doug Wilson in a press release.

“His story of perseverance and hard work from being an undrafted free agent to being one of the most versatile players in the National Hockey League has been a pleasure to watch. You hate to lose players like this, but this is an important step in acquiring valuable assets that can be utilized by our club moving forward.”

Goodrow has 24 points in 62 games with the Sharks this season.

The 26-year-old from Toronto has recorded 71 points in 268 NHL games, all with the Sharks.
