When the Vancouver Canucks acquired prospect wingers Jonathan Dahlen and Nikolay Goldobin, we all got excited. But, with every prospect acquisition comes uncertainty.
Dahlen is currently playing second-tier hockey in Sweden. How does that compare to North America? How will his scoring translate to the NHL? Goldobin is already in North America, but can he perform a smooth transition from the minor leagues to the NHL?
Canucks Army‘s Vanessa Jang and Jeff Paterson have more on both.
Goldobin Upset
Jeff Paterson (Canucks Army) — Newest Canuck Goldobin: ‘Upset I didn’t get a bigger chance in San Jose’
“I was kind of upset that I didn’t get a bigger chance, but they try to win the Stanley Cup and they wanted to get an older guy who played a couple of years in the NHL,” Goldobin said from the Bay Area where he’s been playing for the Sharks American Hockey League franchise.
