After news broke of Barclay Goodrow's return to the San Jose Sharks, a source revealed that the former Rangers forward feels betrayed by GM Chris Drury.

Barclay Goodrow began his NHL career with the San Jose Sharks, quickly establishing himself as a key forward. Upon learning of his trade to the Tampa Bay Lightning, he expressed heartfelt gratitude to the staff and fans who supported him along the way.

"First off, I'd like to thank the San Jose Sharks for giving me a chance to live out my dream. I signed my first contract 6 years ago and what a journey it's been. Thak you to the medical, training, equipment and PR staff for always being first class and helping me out. Thank you to the fans of San Jose for always being there, you and the city will always hold a special place in my heart. And to the boys, thank you for all the memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. I loved going to war with you guys.:

After a shorter stint with the Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Rangers, Goodrow is heading back to San Jose. The Sharks claimed the veteran forward off waivers, making him their third-highest-paid forward.

"The #SJSharks have claimed Barclay Goodrow off waivers from #NYR, bringing the veteran forward back to the place he started his NHL career."

Despite what many would expect to be a joyful reunion based on his 2020 comments, Goodrow's return is filled with bitterness. According to Larry Brooks, the veteran forward felt betrayed by the move. The San Jose Sharks were on his no-trade list, but Rangers GM Chris Drury circumvented this by placing him on waivers, allowing San Jose to claim him.

"'There is widespread belief that Barclay Goodrow had #SJSharks on his 15-team no-trade list that #NYR GM Chris Drury got around by placing him on waivers, where San Jose claimed him.

We've been told by several folks Goodrow is not happy about how this went down.' | @NYP_Brooksie"

It remains unclear if GM Chris Drury intended to send Goodrow back to his first NHL team. Regardless, Barclay Goodrow can expect a warm welcome back to the San Jose Sharks, whether he wants to be there or not.
