Player Discussion: Isles sign Golyshev

[Konk]

Well happy birthday to me!

Is it really your birthday?

 

[BrockLobster]

Is he as good as jan kovac?

Better think Vladimir Orszagh!

 

[Throttle]

Is Yashin still the Isles referral agent in Russia until 2079?

Yes

He's a good option for BP. Then maybe as a potential call up given the Isles lost Lee. Depth is never a bad thing. Peter Holland and Pavel Datsyuk have slightly more points than him on the same team. This is a good barometer.

How is it a good barometer? Peter Holland is a now 30 yr old first round bust and Pavel Datsyuk is an NHL legend but is now 42 years old. All this tells us about Golyshev is that he could be somewhere between terrible and very good in the NHL.

I think you got it. My post that is.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Good competition and depth I guess. Nothing to pop the cork over.....

Comes with a ELC. Taxi squad has lots of space. Don’t see a downside here.

I think your being generous here Uncle.

My expectations are somewhere between terrible and serviceable.

 

[periferal]

Just need him to be Goalyshev

You can close the thread now.







*but until you do I have other comments.

 

[FourRings]

Yes

Happy birthday!

 

[IslesNorway]

I'll be very, very surprised if we see him on the Island this season let alone this side of Christmas. That being said, contract terms should be interesting because at 26 he will probably only sign for one year or two.

 

[periferal]

I thought he'd be bigger.

Let this be your lesson...


Always ask for a photo first.

I agree, but I was commenting on was the placing of Holland to Datsyuk in the same sentence and to then use them as some sort of barometer for what this guy might be in the NHL. It's like saying use Gilbert Gottfried and Laurence Olivier as barometers for what an actor might become.

 

[periferal]

Not expecting much if anything, but given our cap situation we should be bringing in any young(ish) prospect who has a shot of playing in the NHL.

The only thing to watch out for is the 50 contract limit. As I see it adding Gloyshev puts us at 48 out of 50. Unlike opening up cap space, it's easier to dump a contact or two, but still the more flexibility you have the better.

 

[QuadDeuces]

Very skilled, smart, and tenacious player, but his speed isn't going to wow you for a guy that small. I watched a fair bit of KHL in 17, 18 and 19. I expect him to be a useful middle sixer in the NHL

 

[leeroggy]

That’s Patrick Swayze

 

[leeroggy]

Is Yashin still the Isles referral agent in Russia until 2079?

Yes, that’s when his contract runs out

 

[Sparksrus3]

Just watched some highlights.


He's certainly not afraid to shoot!

let him room with Bailey

I’ve read that tenacious is a good way to describe him so he has that going for him I guess. I read once an NHLer to compare him too would be Komarov LOL so I guess we will love him. I did also read his skill level was higher than Leo’s to be fair.

 

[The Real JT]

I'm surprised it's actually happening, figured he was the new Petrov. Not expecting much though, but hoping for the best as always.

Worth signing I suppose but hard to get too excited over this.

I guess he's a lottery ticket.
A scratch off. No Powerball ticket here.

So you're saying he's got a chance?

 

[Konk]

Yes

Happy cake day!!

 

[Uncle Duke]

So you're saying he's got a chance?

To land somewhere on the Holland - Datsyuk career path continuum? It's looking pretty good.
