Such a Chuck Fletcher move.

I think he's a pending UFA so if the cost is low I don't really care.

Team is going nowhere with or without Goligoski.

I fixed the headline but since the Athletic is behind a paywall, the option is to read www.broadstreethockey.com which summarizes.

When he was with the Stars my brother called him Goalagainstki so I am not excited about this rumor.

He's the defense equivolent of trading for Derek Grant.

Goligoski was a solid D-man in Dallas, hard to judge him in a pit hole of Hockey like Arizona.
But he's held his own there.
However, as a 35 year old undersized LH shot, what's the point?
He can play the right side, but so can Ghost and Gus.

This is a move they should’ve made WHILE not resigning Justin ducking braun. Just so dumb to think Gus, hagg, and Braun would’ve been enough to cover niskanen. I know our young d need to be better to cover nisky but they have to do that AND Cover stupid hagg+Braun

He plays right a lot too. At this point, it makes more sense to trade for a rental than get ekholm and deal with the dilemma of expansions keepers

If this team was any good I would go after Ekholm and deal with expansion later. They are losing 1 good player no matter what. But since we suck, there's no point to trade for Ekholm.

So dumb. I wouldn’t do anything this year other than fix the PP coaching

Ekholm would cost a 1st, Goligoski won’t. Foolish to move a first when even with Ekholm this team isn’t a guaranteed playoff qualifier. They should sell instead but that won’t happen.

Time to move on from 1 or 2 of their so called stars.

 

[orangey]

Do not want.

 

[FlyerNutter]

He would be essentially making a move simply to say they made one.

If they aren’t going to push for a true upgrade, I’d likely be in favour of standing pat and explore selling at the deadline.

They need to decide pretty soon which way they would like to take this season.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Giving up picks to rent an old dude of questionable utility for a couple dozen games would be peak Flyers.

I’m a Coyotes fan. He’s been well-worth his contract and has helped Chychrun get where he is. You guys are underselling him a little. He blocks a ton of shots, and can skate and pass very well. He’s a smart, solid player.

He’s incredibly weak and soft, though. So he struggles mightily to defend an established forecheck. He needs to be paired with a cycle buster. If you’ve got a guy who’s strong down low but struggles to move the puck, you’ve got the ideal partner for Goligoski. When paired with a guy like that, Goligoski will ensure the whole pair is greater than the sum of its parts. It’s kinda wizardry.

He’s been a good player for us. And a rare big UFA signing that’s actually worked out well. But I don’t want him re-signed and it’s time to move on. I’d take a 3rd rounder for him and be pretty happy with that.

Yea that won’t work well here.

He may have value but he's not the defensemen we need. If anything he is the antithesis of the defensemen we need.

 

[Flyerfan4life]

hes soft on the boards ?

lol, welcome to AVs doghouse

 

[bennysflyers16]

Hogg for Goligoski , make it happen

 

[DrinkFightFlyers]

I mean I am not against this if the price is right. I can't imagine giving up anything of value for him.

Sounds terrible quite honestly.

It has been a long time since I have watched more than two Goligoski games in a season, but my general impression is that he would be a good complement for Braun (from what I can recall of his play).

Provy-Ghost
Sanheim-Myers
Goligoski-Braun

This is a lot better than any combination we can currently see the Flyers employ.

But the question becomes, what's the point? Does Goligoski improve the team enough to jettison whatever assets it will take to acquire him? I'd say yes only if those assets are named Hagg, Gus, or any current member of the taxi squad. I'm certainly not giving up draft picks for 20-30 games of Alex Goligoski in 2021 because he's not going to be re-signed, nor should he be.

I am sure the Coyotes are looking for draft picks, which would be a non-starter for me.
