Confirmed Trade: [TBL/SJS] Barclay Goodrow, 2020 3rd round pick for Anthony Greco, 2020 1st round pick

[Avsboy]

Even if Tampa Bay wins the Cup, I don't think Goodrow makes a difference. I've never heard of this guy.

 

[VanCity Millionaires]

Why not just keep JT Miller?

 

[greasysnapper]

Makes sense for SJS he was one of the few players they had that still had value. But what made him so valuable is kind of why they needed to hold onto Goodrow. What he provides for cheap cap. That being said, getting a 1st for him is great and takes some of the sting out of the year a bit. At least they are back in the 1st.

 

[OrrNumber4]

Speculation that Tampa had to offer a first to top Boston's offer.

 

[GirardSpinorama]

Awful. How is this guy a better add than a Thompson or Grant?

 

[One Winged Angel]

Coleman for a first and now Goodrow?

Clearly Yzerman was the brains down in Tampa.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

The Sharks moving up two rounds for Goodrow is not terrible value for Tampa honestly but it's hard for people to get over trading a 1st round pick. Goodrow is just under 1 mil, is their first forward out on their top rated PK, and has been moving up the lineup with everything going on and not playing terribly. He's a solid 3rd liner that will be an effective PK'er for the rest of this season and next. It's not the best trade I think but it may be the best for Tampa given their cap status and what else was out there.

Imagine having to outbid another team with a 1st pick for Barclay Goodrow.

 

[MaxDummy]

Goodrow and 70th overall pick vs Greco and 28th pick.

Looks better like that

 

[FinnLightning26]

Gong show? Rough year, sure. Wait until next TDL to call us a gong show. Not like we were favorites and got swept or something.

SJ is one team whose fans don't have room to joke about choking in the playoffs.

He is a really good cycle player. He and Coleman are good players that matchup with what Tampa has lacked at times in the post-season. I get that people get trapped in the first round pick. Tampa should be making moves like this, they are all in and they went out and got sound gritty hockey players that will add to a team in the post-season.

Well it makes sense. Part of the deal here for Tampa is that this guy will play for them, instead of the team they're likely having to play against in the playoffs.

Maybe but we still have some things to say about the subject like we know a good choke when we see it. lol

yeah, but it's not 70th overall. it's PHL's pick, who are 8th in the NHL now. So, as of now, it's 31 + 31 + (31-8) = 85

 

[sens13]

this makes no sense at all. if they wanted him that bad I'm sure they could have gotten him for a 2nd

But SJ never tied the all time regular season points record and then got swept in the first round.

SJ choked when they won the President’s trophy and lost to the 8th seed Ducks 100%. No SJ team has every lost a series where they were heavily the favorite besides that and LA in 2014 and no one was going to beat LA. When we lost to Vancouver they went to the Finals, when we lost to Chicaco they won the cup, when we lost to the Blue’s the won the cup and so on. The Sharks were never as heavy favorites as the Lightning have been for the past several years, bar none. Anything else?

We've definitely never heard that one before!

 

[Waterbuf]

Anyone saying they're all in so it's okay to overpay...

That 1st round pick could be used later/now to trade for a way better player...

 

[bossram]

Was just gonna say I like the deal more but it's Philly's third rounder.

I get what Tampa is doing. They are overpaying for cost certainty.

Exactly. It looks like an overpay in terms of perceived hockey-playing value, but what Tampa really needs are contributors on low cap hits.

Coleman and Goodrow probably allow Tampa to clear the cap hits of Killorn and Johnson/Gourde. Cap space has more value to them than draft picks, at this point.

 

[cheesymc]

Wow, nice return for SJ. I wish my Ducks could have gotten that for Ritchie. Instead we get more Bruin leftovers and Murray continues to bend over for Sweeney.

Nah. Everyone has the right to joke on whatever they want to within the forum rules.

 

[absolute garbage]

Going from perhaps ~25th pick to ~70th pick isn't that big of a deal.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Goodrow is a tough player to play against. He'll be a nice fit on the Lightning.

Teams really leveraged Tampa's cap situation against them. NJ & SJ both got a premium for their players. That's the reality you can find yourself in when your really good & your window is right now. Atleast niether guy is a rental, that's a huge part of these moves/prices.

As a Canucks fan, it continues to make the JT Miller trade look better. A little bit of a selfish silver lining.

Excited to see how Tampa responds in the playoffs. Their team looks to be setup better than last year.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Goodrow = 1st round pick, Toffoli = 2nd round pick

Between this and the Kovalchuk debacle, it's time to step down, Mr.Blake

Your forgetting Tyler Madden.

Madden + 2nd >> Very late first.

Madden's possibly the best asset of the 3, or at worst on par with the late first.
