Bill Meltzer: Stars Gameday: 10/26/13 vs. Jets

Looks like Goligoski is back in tonight but will not be paired with Gonchar. In my opinion, Gonchar has been as much or more to blame for the failure of the pairing.

Agreed. However, Goligoski is a tough player for whom to find the right partner. Needs to be someone with good size, defensively responsible yet physical. With Dillon a fixture with Robidas, there really is no one (Daley, Jordie Benn, Connauton) who is a suitable alternative. Put him with Gonchar and, as we saw, it's a defensive disaster.

How about Goligoski/Nemeth next year or later this year.

As long as Nemeth is NHL-ready, absolutely.
