Canucks ink Goldobin to 1-year, $900K contract

The Vancouver Canucks and restricted free-agent forward Nikolay Goldobin have agreed on a one-year contract worth $900,000, the team announced Wednesday.

"Nikolay is a gifted offensive player who has shown good chemistry with some of our other younger players," Canucks general manager Jim Benning said. "He has taken steps to round out his game and we're excited to see continued improvement from him this season."

Goldobin, soon to be 24, was drafted 27th overall by the San Jose Sharks in 2014 and was then acquired by the Canucks in a 2017 trade that sent Jannik Hansen the other way.

In his third season with Vancouver, Goldobin appeared in a career-high 63 contests and posted 27 points while averaging just under 15 minutes per night.

With Goldobin inked, the Canucks' only remaining unsigned player is star winger Brock Boeser.
