Nice career, 1x Cup, over 1k games, almost 500 points as a dman
Goligoski is 5'11", that really isn't that uncommon even back then. Keith Ballard was taken in the first round 2yrs before Goligoski was taken by the Pens in the 2nd round and he is also 5'11" - Also Trevor Daley was taken in the 2nd round in 2002. I mean did you forget Brian Rafalski was one of the top defensemen in the league well before Goligoski was drafted? Rafalski wasn't even drafted, the Devils literally signed a 5'10" defenseman in 1999 when the Size Queen era was in full swing.Great career for a undersized offensive defenseman picked 61st overall in an era where that really wasn't a thing yet. Gave hope to people under six feet with receding hairlines everywhere. Enjoy retirement GoGo.
I, for one, get tired of hearing of how good he was for other teams. His play ranged between mediocre to bad when he was with MN.
