Barclay Goodrow

Last Season

Five goals and seven assists in all 82 games — 12 points, minus-18, at 11:21 a night with 73 penalty minutes. His 731st career game.

The Finesse Game

Ninety unblocked attempts, five goals, median 21 feet with 50 per cent from inside twenty — the location is right and there is simply not enough of it.

A hundred and eighty-nine points in 731 career games. Seven assists in a full season is close to the lowest offensive return in this book.

The Physical Game

Six foot two, 210, and he plays a heavy, abrasive checking game. Seventy-three penalty minutes.

He forechecks, kills penalties, blocks shots, and has two Stanley Cup rings from Tampa out of doing exactly that and nothing more.

The Intangibles

Forty-two point eight per cent of the expected goals, sixth percentile, and 41.7 per cent of the shot attempts, second percentile, across 783 minutes — with the chances 25.0 for and 33.3 against.

Those are among the weakest figures of any full-season regular in this edition, and eighty-two games of them is not a sample problem.

Two points in his last ten. He is 33, undrafted, and a genuinely valuable playoff player on a club that will not see the playoffs for two more years. That mismatch is the whole page.
