Goldobin’s benching adds fuel to trade speculation

The speculation about Goldobin’s future with the Canucks has been a slow burn for a while, especially after Leivo was acquired. And with Goldobin being scratched in favour of the goalless Tim Schaller against the Senators Wednesday, the same day speculation began to brew in the national media that the Canucks may be looking to trade him, the fire started roaring.

Goldobin is a young player who has been a solid offensive contributor this season, so it seems a far-fetched notion that he’ll simply land on waivers in the next day or two, even if the Canucks need to find a roster spot for Brandon Sutter, who is set to return to the lineup after recovering from a separated shoulder.
