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. Tryamkin says come back and join the party...... I hear you, but I wouldn't compare Goldy to Jake. Way different scenarios. Pretty sure some team will give Goldy a chance and see if he's matured.

CRAZY_4_NAZZY Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 I remember when the Canucks acquired Goldy, one of his major concerns was how to get his Lamborghini up to Vancouver from San Jose. I laughed at first thinking that was hilarious, but watching Goldy's instagram, his very casual (and looks a lot like lackadaisical play) behaviour on the ice, and his preoccupation with style and flare...he seems more driven by the lifestyle of being a hockey player - not so much the drive to win. He is a likeable character, but I don't imagine that can suffice. He needs drive and desire, which lacks in his game and its not hard to see that. When he goes into corners, in the defensive zone, and how he tracks in the neutral zone, he knows what he needs to do, but just doesn't do it. Goldy would show a lot of his offseason training on instagram, and a lot of the drills he does doesn't require a lot of effort - just shooting pucks and little dipsy doodle deke drills that look pretty on a video but not usually replicated in game situations. He does a lot of stationary drills and doesn't move his feet much even in the drills that require more skating engagement. I think he has game breaking skill - said the same sentiment when he was with us, but the lack of drive and desire doesn't allow him to show it on a consistent basis. he has had several NHL and AHL coaches in his ear about improving his work ethic and work habits, but it doesn't appear to have sunken in for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slegr Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 So soft, a floater. Put him in the second round of these playoffs on any team, and he’d be invisible or squished to an end board. No thank you. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SID.IS.SID.ME.IS.ME Posted May 8, 2023 Share Posted May 8, 2023 If we’re looking at ‘95 born Russians in the KHL, I’d rather see the Canucks take a run at signing free agent forward Konstantin Okulov. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ruilin96 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 Goldobin is a player that brings very little outside of puck skill and offense. And he isn't elite in those category. He is a good kid, did put in the hard work but just wasn't enough. He is the definition of top-6 or bust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 (edited) Goldy is so "meh". He had some skill and upside but even playing with good linemates against weak competition he was a slighly below average offensive player who was a libability defensively and had no intangibles (size, toughness etc). I could see a team like Arizona throwing him on the second line as a cheap $800K option to see if there is any untapped upside otherwise I don't see a place for him in the NHL.
