New York Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow on longtime San Jose Sharks development coach and scout Bryan Marchment: ‘He had my back’
SAN JOSE – Barclay Goodrow is the author of perhaps the greatest goal in Sharks franchise history. He’s won two Stanley Cups with the Tampa Bay Lightning, and now has the security of a long-term contract with the New York Rangers.
Marchment was the one who convinced former Sharks general manager Doug Wilson to sign Goodrow to an entry-level contract in March 2014. Goodrow on Saturday will play his first game at SAP Center since he was traded by Wilson to the Lightning in Feb. 2020 for a first-round draft pick, which the Sharks would use later that year on center Ozzy Wiesblatt at No. 31 overall.
But it was Marchment, a longtime Sharks scout and development coach and a former player with the team, who gave Goodrow his first big break. Marchment died of natural causes on July 6 in Montreal, just a day before the NHL Draft, and like everyone else who knew ‘Mush,’ the news hit Goodrow like a ton of bricks.
Even though Goodrow has played in 74 playoff games, winning the Cup in 2020 and 2021 with the Lightning, he’ll always be remembered locally for scoring in overtime in Game 7 of the Sharks’ opening-round series with the Vegas Golden Knights in 2019. Dillon was dealt to the Washington Capitals six days before the Feb. 24, 2020 deadline, when Marleau was sent to Pittsburgh Penguins.
