Gaudette Celly Posted March 20, 2018 Share Posted March 20, 2018 3 hours ago, gurn said: Many centers from the lower leagues end up as wingers in the NHL, others like Granlund, Gagner and Gaunce end up playing a bit of both positions. Also Pettersson played mostly on the wing, with about 5 games as center, this year in the SHL. If it comes down to Goldy or Gaudette, all money's on the Hockey_Gaud, if for nothing more than the fact he brings it every game, and in a responsible 2-way capacity. Goldy will need a complete renaissance over the summer to have a hope in that competition. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he gets next year to prove himself here; if he doesn't, I see him as a trade deadline clearance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean I could see us 'Stecher' a Pettersson or Dahlen to Utica until we sort out a trade etc but unless he can show some pretty serious improvement and commitment this summer... Heck, he's not doing himself any favours with his play right now. I could easily see us package him this summer without a massive turn around in his play. I think management will have a pretty good idea of what we do/don't have by April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look engaged, work hard off and on the ice, battle for pucks. In short make it look like you give a damn and realize you're fighting to keep your job and stay in the NHL.

That being said, I wouldn't shed any tears if he was traded away at the draft. As little as Virt has shown (up until recently) I would still take him over Goldy. I'm just thinking that management may want to have an extended look at him, which would keep him here for a little while longer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted March 21, 2018 Share Posted March 21, 2018 It's encouraging seeing Dahlen playing so well in the playoffs. His goal this year was to help his team get back in the SEL and he's almost there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But to give up on him now would be stupid. From my armchair analysis it seems like a confidence thing. If he ever gets confident in his ability to play in the NHL he could be a real good player.

If he doesn't earn a spot on the soon to be 31st team in the NHL, do you lose him on waivers? Do you gift him a spot he hasn't earned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy or Eriksson? Sedins? With his age and offensive skill he should be on the team in a more sheltered role. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The trouble with this is the Canucks currently have too many players who don’t contribute to winning. Goldobin is one of them as is Gagner. No player should be gifted a spot or have a spot saved so they don’t have to go through waivers. sure we traded Hansen for him and losing him means we traded Hansen for nothing by a lot of CDC logic, but the reality is Hansen was a 3/4 line grinder on the downswing and Goldobin is a player that is having a hard time making the NHL. If Goldobin can’t produce like a second liner at the very least he is going to bounce from team to team on waivers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 It took Baertschi nearly 4 years and over 100 NHL games to finally figure out how to play effectively in the big leagues. Goldobin has 52 NHL games over 3 years, and I'm not surprised in the least he hasn't put it all together yet. Hopefully by the start of next year we see Green trusting him to play 12 mins a night and get some limited PP time. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirk mcleans baby Posted March 22, 2018 Share Posted March 22, 2018 I thought I came into the Dahlen discussion?!?! The last page is all about Goldy!! Doesn’t he have his own ‘page’ to discuss him in?! Anyone know when Dahlen’s next games are? Thanks 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can easily post a roster without the Sedins, Gagner or Goldobin. I take Eriksson (overpaid or otherwise) over Goldobin all day, every day. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
