Talent Analysis
Goligoski is a smaller offensively gifted defenseman. He is very raw and needs to improve on all of his skills, namely his skating and strength, before he can be considered ready for the NHL. His assets include puck-handling, playmaking, and creativity. Some may compare him to a young, recent Coyote signee, Keith Ballard. That is a lofty comparison, but Goligoski possesses the necessary skills to fulfill this potential if he works very hard in the coming years.
