He should be in the NHL.
He JUST turned 22. People on these boards need to have a little faith.. not every player can have a 1st or 2nd year impact, some need to stew and develop a little bit before coming up.The "anomaly" is falling of in front of Maxime Lagace on a tough road trip. Everyone who cares knows that. It is actually amazing they are not getting destroyed. Many other teams would be cooked if they lost 3 goaltenders to injuries.
The bad choice is very effing obvious. He is spending years in the inferior AHL. What are the benefits? Does he learn a lot about the USA on the bus rides?
Fair enough, there was definitely some hyperbole there on my part. He definitely did get more than enough of a shot though. I had high hopes for him too based on previous production.In Vancouver I saw him only a couple of times and never paid much extra attention so I won't challenge the judgment, but statistically he only had 3 games with more than 20 minutes there.
I'm thinking of someone like Tyler Johnson (a little guy not unlike Dawes), Vey narrowly outscored him both in the WHL and in the AHL, but ultimately it was Johnson that made it in the NHL.
You are delusional if you think SKA could beat an NHL team easily.
ive read on this guy and it seems like he is good ahl player but wont translate to the nhl. might be a bust like shinkaruk
Like how he sold he was going to shoot and drew the defenders towards him. He was fairly uneventful (which is a good thing) with the exception of two good passes, one of which led to the Boeser goal. On defense he made an effort, albeit seemed a bit lost in regards to positioning. Still a work in progress but last nigh was very encouraging imo.
I'm not as high on him as others, but he's doing pretty well right now in the NHL.I don't expect much from him. HEs probably gonna be a bust.
Goldobin’s defensive issues were never because he was lazy and always because he genuinely doesn’t intuitively get defensive positioning.
