he's never going to be an NHL regular

Yup, looking like a pretty bad return for Hansen. When he does eventually request a trade or bolts back to Russia, I wonder what impact it will have on Tryamkin coming back. He had comments about the team having trouble scoring and directly mention Goldobin as someone who could help but wasn't given a chance.


I fully expect to see the excuse "Goldobin was a good return because Hansen isn't playing well in San Jose"

 

[The Iron Goalie]

I have a feeling this will be a short lived assignment. Ether due to injury, or him playing well in Utica. Hopefully this demotion motivates him (I don't agree with it, and would have liked 1/2 games of ~16mins 1st).

 

[Josepho]

It's pretty bad for Palmu to look like the best part of that return a year since the trade was made.

 

[Blue and Green]

I'm all for sending him down. His game is based on offensive skill and right now Baertschi and Daniel are simply better than he is at that position. The rest of his play isn't good enough.

 

[Breakers]

I'd like to see Virtanen sent down as well.

Both players have some of the worst away from the puck game I have ever seen.

Say what?

Virtanen has been good in that this year.

Jesus. Just trade him if you don't understand how to develop him. More idiocy.

I thought it was the previous regime that didn't know how to develop players?

 

[sting101]

It's the right move. He'll get another chance once they clear out some players in deadline deals.

If were 100% healthy, i agree @Breakers. I'd like to see Jake get a prominent role and try to be a scorer.

What should they be doing??

Nobody develops players the way we do here on HF.

Agreed.

It's not like we're the only team who has not been able to help Goldy make the jump.

 

[wonton15]

I would agree that this is the right move. He didn't look that great and he needs to find his confidence in the AHL again

 

[ATypicalCanadian]

I'd have preferred their first and add another prospect in the receny draft if they don't want to give Goldobin a chance.

I don't know how you send him down over Chaput.

 

[Blue and Green]

Chaput is a better current choice for 4th-line/press-box duty than Goldobin who needs to play and learn.

 

[VanillaCoke]

We couldve done something totally wild and crazy and just played him here :0

You need to be given a chance to learn the pro game while being in the pro game..

I sure has heck never matured into adulthood.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

He's not playing very much here, and w Bart back, it'll be even less. I'm fine w him going back. With stuff like this, a lot comes down to communication. If they're setting clear expectations and telling him what they need from him, that's all I can ask.

For anyone lumping JV in w him, I totally disagree. Feed Jake minutes when he's engaged, the guy isn't going to develop playing 12 minutes. So difficult to build confidence playing scared to f*** up.

 

[RebuildinVan]

Id rather watch him make mistakes but get the occasional flash then watch Chaput and Eriksson do.......well whatever it is they do

Exactly and Horvat and Sutter are not back yet.

With Baertschi back the wings are crowded

The problem is the coach has a mandate to coach to win, not coach to develop a team for the future.

It's baffling why we decided to trade for Goldobin if we weren't going to give him every opportunity to succeed (and take the mistakes along the way). Would have been far, far, far better off taking pure draft pick package.

Hansen has been healthy scratched this year and we would've lost him regardless during expansion if we kept him

What kind of moron would've protected a player like Granlund over someone like Hansen? Oh yeah, I guess you're right.
