The Russian winger may need a new contract with the Canucks — and the team has to want him back — but apparently reports of him jumping to the KHL are premature
And despite speculation in the Russian hockey media that he might be set to join CSKA Moscow of the KHL, it seems that’s still his goal.
— Rick Dhaliwal April 29, 2019Of course, to return to Vancouver next fall Goldobin will need a new contract; his entry-level deal expired this spring and the Canucks can make him a restricted free agent simply by making him a qualifying offer. Goldobin will also need the support of head coach Travis Green, who spoke frankly and repeatedly over the second half of the season about what he wanted to see: A faster player, one who does more than just make sharp decisions with the puck in the offensive zone.
Speculation ramped up over Goldobin’s future over the weekend, as well-regarded Russian hockey reporter Igor Eronko reported Friday that Goldobin could end up in the famed red and blue of CSKA, known historically in English as Central Red Army. — Игорь Еронко April 25, 2019It doesn’t seem his source was Goldobin’s new agent, who works for Newport Sports Management, the powerhouse hockey agency headed by super-agent Don Meehan.
“When push comes to shove, they’re trying to get a deal done,” he told TSN 1040 in 2017, in discussing why Bo Horvat might have picked Newport as his representation going into contract extension talks with the Canucks.So did Goldobin think of this when switching agents? It’s not like Larionov and his Will Sports Group don’t have a nice stable of clients .
