Good riddance and good luck kid. Pretty sure Tocchet would chew him up and spit him out back to Russia. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Korea Bob.Loblaw Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 2 hours ago, -AJ- said: 36 points in 59 games ain't bad and 39 in 42 the year before is actually impressive, but as always, it will come down to work ethic for him. At 27, he's no longer the young kid and what he is now is what you're gonna get. If he works hard, he could probably be a solid middle six forward, but given his history, that's not a certainty. Kuzmenko also had a poor defensive work ethic and continually got benched throughout the season - even while he was scoring goals at will. If Goldobin ends up being half of what Kuzmenko has been for Vancouver, he will have a permanent role in the NHL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokes aside, Shirokov is surprisingly still a pretty decent player at 37. Probably a decade past any chance of him coming back over here, but he’s made a very nice career for himself in the KHL. Shirokov is 37???? Man I'm getting old. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Heffy Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I'm kind of curious as to how he'd do under an NHL coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Honestly, I'm not surprised by this given the state Russia is in at the moment. I would almost be surprised if we DON'T get an influx of Russians into the league next year, or at least Russians who have previously seen the difference between this part of the world and Russia.

The guy got cut (not re-signed) from the Canucks at a time when we had a really poor team. Absolutely not an NHL player. Hard pass. All talk and attitude, but at no point did he back it up.

Had sooooo much talent, but nooooo heart or desire. Similar to Virtanan, happy seeing that 10+million already in there bank accounts, knowing full well that is more then enough money to give them a glamours life. Oilers gave Jake a tryout at last years camp, if another does the same for Goldy it will be the same result. Unfortunately for the millions of young adults and kid hockey players struggling around the world that could only wish for half there talent and just one of the many chances they had is a kick in the teeth.

N4ZZY Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 why don't we just bring back all the players who couldn't crack this roster back. Juolevi? Why not. Virtanen? Let's gooooo Goldy! YEAH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tryamkin says come back and join the party...... He's definitely not a fit, but I think he had decent talent and decent effort, which ultimately was not enough. He didn't seem as entitled as Virtanen and did put in a pretty good effort, but it just wasn't enough. Podz, Hog, Kravtsov, McD, all need some legit time on the roster with maybe a few others that earn it. Tryamkin does need to come back to the party however.
