Wait, What? Cody Goloubef Signs One Way Contract

Tonight the Dispatch is reporting that Cody Goloubef has signed a two year, one way (NHL) contract for $700k and $800k. Cody was at the NHL level all of last year, as the CBJ were unwilling to expose him to the waiver wire, where they believed he would certainly be plucked. Honestly, I agree with their assessment on this, but here's the rub. Cody has flown below the radar for a long time.

First of all, he is a second round draft pick (2007), which is the kiss of death for the CBJ. In our history, only one other second round pick has made any kind of lasting noise at the NHL level (see Jenner, Boone).
