kurtzfan Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 It seems that there won't be a spot for Nikolay Goldobin. He played well the first half of last season. However, he went downhill the second half. He had many scoring chances. Yet, none of them turn into a goal. Do you think the management will sign Goldobin before the training camp?

coastal.view Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 by all accounts the canucks have qualified goldy the ball is in his court does he accept the qualifying offer ? (ie: sign it) does he try to negotiate a raise from from the qualifying amount ? does he move on from the nhl ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I hope Goldy is given another shot, but its going to be tough to making the top 13 F. He isnt a 4th liner or 13th man type of player. If he is on our 3rd line do we have the right fit for him with Sutter and Jake? Still think it may be best to try get some kind of asset for him instead of waiting to waive him where he will get claimed by a team. Goldy plus to Edm for JP just makes sense, they need skill in their top 6, Goldy has that. JP doesnt want to play in EDM, Holland gets a player plus a pick or prospect for potentially the next Yakupov. We are hoping it turns out another way for us tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetliner Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 no spot for him on the top 2 lines, so he is good as gone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wilbur Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 (edited) Not opposed to giving him another 1/2 season chance, but if he doesn't get one I won't be upset as he's had plenty of chances. Edited August 6, 2019 by Wilbur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post xereau Posted August 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 6, 2019 Not very much curious about the guy, really. Soft as butter. Inconsistent. Flashes of holy crap. Some of the bad: He has a terrible habit of dropping the puck rather than taking it to the net. If he hears skates within 50 feet coming towards him he goes into PTSD mode. He misses the net from bad angles because he refuses to play in hard areas. Some of the good: He has a hell of a snapper. Almost at Naslund levels. He is a high end play maker, when he has the puck in open ice, and is not pressured. Has the potential, still, to be a very good player. The biggest issue with Goldy is that I believe he is still maturing, both physically and psychologically. I saw a change in his play last time he was in the lineup, and noticed that he was taking the puck to the boards, and allowing himself to actually be hit in not only protecting the puck, but actually going and aggressively getting it. And then Green took him out of the lineup after like two or three terrible shifts, in a series of games where it looked to me, a non NHL coach, but a very observant fan of the game, like the young man trying his ass off,and finally 'getting it'. I was one his harshest critics on these forums for a couple seasons there, but I truly saw some good things out of him last season. Now, this is where his late maturation is a problem for this team. I feel he is finally on the verge of actually finally breaking out as a NHL top 6 player. But it is probably too late now that the team has gone on and built up the team without him in mind. It is just my opinion that he has a future in the NHL, but it might not be on the Canucks, which sucks. Because he could be scary good still. Or not, feelings don't matter for crap. I can't quantify my gut feeling any better than my late season observation that I thought Goldy looked to finally be 'getting it'. On one hand I respect Green's tough love approach to the youth, but it really should be even handed, for when a veteran makes the same mistake, they should be benched too. Goldy has been the whipping boy of the coach for too long. I hope he finds a place in the league if isn't with the Canucks. 2 2 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabcakes Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Goldy's last salary was a 2-way for $863,333 with a $212,500 performance bonus. I doubt he made his bonuses. I'm sure he has done the math and knows that he's not likely to get more than his qualifying offer. There's not going to be more than $1M left over after Boeser signs anyways. He's a long shot to make the new and improved Canucks imo. Who wants to give up assets for a 23 year old who is top 6 or bust who only shows good stuff sometimes? I think he clears waivers if he signs. He's a better fit on a team with a more offensively oriented 3rd line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 If we still had Desjardins, he'd sit Goldy in a video room, forcing him to view footage of Fleury, Rick Tocchet & Gordie Howe..create an awesome hybrid. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6string Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 A top six or bust, we'll see how Green handles this. Green closed out last season by dressing Eriksson over Goldy ( left in the press box ). We would be further ahead with the Goldy situation had he used him then, than to waste our time with him now? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 I think so. See if he can take another step over the summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-AJ- Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 Wild card. I'd like to see what he's like in the pre-season, but I think his leash is extremely short. If he even earns a spot on the team, he'll need to keep up his play or else be traded/waived to Utica. I still think his ceiling is a 1st/2nd line forward who can put up 60 points a year, but he remains too inconsistent to stay in the lineup as of last year. He has a very high ceiling, but it's unlikely he reaches it. For EA Sports fans: Elite [Low] 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that the tape of the guy murdering and dismembering the Chinese student in Montreal, and then mailing his body parts all over the place? How could that possibly help Goldy?! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldy has been the whipping boy of the coach for too long. I hope he finds a place in the league if isn't with the Canucks. You pretty much got it bang on (except for the Naslund wrister, Goldys is probably a couple notches or 3 comparing to Nazzys, for now at least). Last year we did some flashes last year with him, especially when he was with Petey. For some reason, our franchise and Goldy REGARDLESS of who was playing in the other wing produced. Ive said before, there is a correlation to EP40s slump or decreased to production to the time Leivo was inserted in the lineup. Travis has his work cut out for him and is caught in a very peculiar spot, play the guy with lazy tendencies but we WIN, or play the guy that plays the right way and we LOSE. Its fact that EP40's best scoring performances came with Goldy playing on his line, we can't explain it but for some reason there is chemistry there. I still think we shouldnt give up on the kid, or at the very least not give him up for just anything. Theres enough skill and talent level there, with the right prodding, Goldy can be an every day contributor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
