Speculation: 2013-14 Trade Talk III

[StarsFan06]

Possibility of a Another Blockbuster Trade I

Could the Stars pull off another blockbuster with prospects or draft picks.

 

[jhr1986]

He's our best offensive d

cool story bro. ever watch him play defense?

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

Goligoski for a dog turd.

 

[StoneColdGMJN]

Goligoski for a dog turd.

We'll probably have to throw in a 4th to sweeten the pot.

 

[Satan]

That's really not saying a whole lot.

 

[MBTendy]

**** Goligoski man ..

 

[TangoMcBride]

We traded James Neal for Alex Goligoski.

JAMES NEAL for Alex GoliGOSKI!

It haunts my dreams. Damn you, Nieuwendyk.

I think there's an argument that Connauton is becoming that. He's more in the Philipe Boucher mode, with the booming shot and roving ability rather than passing the puck but the guy seems to make good calls on when to pinch and unlike Daley when he rushes the puck it usually results in a scoring chance as opposed to a shot off the glass and out.

Goligoski can and does do some good things but holy god he can't play 25+ minutes a night if you want the team to win.

 

[Brand New Stars]

Well he wouldn't be playing that much if there weren't so many injuries on the defense.

 

[StarsFan06]

I think we need to call Oleksiak up

 

[Al Core]

[Brand New Stars]

Absolutely not. He looked horrible last time he was up.

 

[StarsFan06]

Absolutely not. He looked horrible last time he was up.

Better then Goligoski

 

[MetalGodAOD*]

Better then Goligoski

Not true. Goligoski had a rough game against MTL but he's played pretty well the past few games. And you run the risk of ruining Oleksiak's development by putting him in positions he's not ready for.

 

[SonicSpeedDash]

No once Gonchar, Daley, or Robidas is back. Goligoski needs to be benched, bought out, or sent down.

I take Goligoski over Jordie 10 times out of 10. The rage is getting a bit ridiculous here.

 

[mc3488]

I take jordie over goligoski because of Goligoski's contract

 

[Satan]

I take jordie over goligoski because of Goligoski's contract

 

[Brand New Stars]

I'd say Oleksiak was pretty easily our worst dman when he was up.

 

[Hull Fan]

I'd rather see John Klingberg come over cold than see Oleksiak back up this year. Kid was just awful. Oh and yeah I'd rather see Goligoski than Jordie Benn if those were my options. I just don't want to see Goligoski playing 20+ minutes a night. Especially when Gaunce, who had a good game only got 10:30 something. That's poor coaching on Ruff's part and it blew up in his face at the end of the game.

Would you trade Goligoski straight up for Josh Bailey? Both have been not good.

 

[Al Core]

I'd rather see John Klingberg come over cold than see Oleksiak back up this year. Kid was just awful.

Yep. Oleksiak was atrocious. He needs to hang out in the AHL for the foreseeable future.

 

[aloonda*]

sad


he's a good player

but he is certainly not a #1

asking him to be sucks for us

 

[Verbal Kint]

Besides, has Kulikov shown enough on the ice to be worth us giving away Eakin? I haven't watched him all that much, but from all accounts the answer is no.

Well, if you haven't seen him, what are these accounts? I've watched him and he still looks like a defender who could (and probably will) turn into very solid top pairing defenceman who can handle 20+ minutes and play PK + PP. Let's also remember that in NHL it takes longer for young defencemen to develop into their prime, compared to forwards.

Eakin has already proven himself to be a good/decent two-way 2nd line center - at the least. He could turn in to a very good 2nd line center with a slight improvement in numbers.

I disagree- he has not proven himself a good 2nd line center. I would say he has proven himself a good 2-way 3rd line center. Eakin is still very inconsistent with his point production.

 

[Loui21Eriksson]

No once Gonchar, Daley, or Robidas is back. Goligoski needs to be benched, bought out, or sent down.

Has anyone been pleased with Gonchar? I'd rather see him benched.
