More skill in the lineup, can't argue against that.

 

[Siludin]

People forget that Goldobin can play for the Canucks and Utica right now, which is awesome! Tons of room in the lineup now.

From Hockeys Future...

Goldobin is a gifted sniper with the potential to be a big-time scorer in the NHL with his excellent wrist shot. His game in his own end, particularly his defensive play, has held him back to this point. New San Jose Sharks' head coach Peter DeBoer values smart, two-way play and he — along with former Devils' coach Jacques Lemaire — helped another Russian sniper, Ilya Kovalchuk, transform from being a defensive liability to a player that is more aware in his own end of the ice. Goldobin has many of the same tools as Kovalchuk. While he may not put up the same gaudy offensive numbers as the former Thrashers and Devils forward, Goldobin has the potential to be a special player at the NHL level.

I liked him more than Yakupov when I compared their draft seasons in Sarnia.

Went to Finland and did well. Also was very noticeable at the WJCs way back.

Slippery playmaker. Playing style think Tanguay.

He and Labanc lit it up at the A.

Yep, only on the first year of his ELC.

Playmaking LW doing well in the A. Fits a need again we have no real playmakers

 

[VanillaCoke]

From what I have seen hes going tk be a player.
Not great defensively yet but has all the tools offensively.

41 pts in 46 games in the A this year. PROSPECT POOL IS LOOKING GOOD!

I'm not thrilled that he's going to be rushed into NHL lineup right after acquiring him, but I hope he isn't kept around for the rest of the season if he's clearly struggling. Nor do I hope he's plopped on the 4th line with talent-less plugs and given less than 10 minutes per game.

 

[Josepho]

I am praying that Willie gives him a long leash.

PP Time. Time with Horvat. All that Mumbo jumbo. I want it.

 

[WhiteCurse]

Sounds like he will play atleast in top 9 right away

 

[Bgav]

pretty stoked, can't wait to see him play Thursday

 

[wonton15]

I'm almost certain he'll be put beside Sutter for the first game and they'll find out it wasn't a good fit, then proceed to put him onto Horvat's wing and that's all she wrote.

What do our prospect rankings look like now?

When has this regime ever stuck its acquisitions in bad situations? Don't worry, he'll be riding shotgun with the Sedins or strapped to Bo's side.

 

[RandV]

My biggest concern is San Jose has a great forward lineup for talented young wingers to step into, yet he's 21 and has been on the farm aside from 11 NHL games over two full seasons.

Regardless though while it's not as good as the Burrows trade I'm happy to have him here and hope for the best. Hopefully Willie gives him a chance to succeed and lines him up beside Horvat to start.

Boeser
Juolevi
Goldobin
Demko
Gaudette
Dahlen

Something like that.

1. Brock Boeser
2. Olli Juolevi
3. Nikolay Goldobin
4. Thatcher Demko
5. Jonathan Dahlen
6. Adam Gaudette
7. Jake Virtanen
8. Guillaume Brisebois
9. Evan McEneny
10. Jordan Subban

Imagine if the stars align, finally get some luck and get that much needed top 3 pick this year..

Our prospect pool at the end of June will have bumped up from the mid 20's in September to what?

Probably 19.

Our prospect pool is actually quite bad right now.
