The NHL trade deadline has come and gone and the San Jose Barracuda have escaped mostly unscathed. With the big club having Stanley Cup aspirations we all knew going into the deadline that any subtractions would likely come from the Barracuda. Sure enough during the second intermission of last night’s San Jose vs. Toronto Maple Leafs matchup it was announced Jannik Hansen was going to make his way to San Jose in exchange for Barracuda winger Nikolay Goldobin.
Goldobin will be missed
I’m going to approach this from an AHL perspective and leave the analysis of the trade to the rest of the FTF family who has covered the topic here, here, and here.
