Nikolay Goldobin never fully found his game with the Vancouver Canucks, so he decided to take his talents overseas.
On Saturday, Igor Eronko of Sport-Express reported that Goldobin signed a two-year contract with the KHL club CSKA, thus ending his brief NHL tenure. He finishes with 19 goals and 46 points in 125 NHL games (114 contests with Vancouver, 11 with the San Jose Sharks).
Goldobin was drafted 27th overall by the Sharks in 2014. Three years later, he was sent to Vancouver as part of the Jannik Hansen trade prior to the 2017 deadline.
