Goloubef Leaves Wisconsin, Signs with Blue Jackets

Wisconsin Jr. defenseman Cody Goloubef has decided to give up his final year of eligibility by signing with the Columbus Blue Jackets of the NHL.

Goloubef was a 2nd round pick in the 2008 NHL draft. He had 14 points and was plus-13 in 42 games for the Badgers last season.

“Cody comes from a very successful program at Wisconsin and we believe it is the right time for him to begin his professional career,” Blue Jackets general manager Scott Howson said in a statement.

Wisconsin currently has two first round picks on their roster in Jr. defensemen Brendan Smith and Ryan McDonagh. Will they stay for their Sr. seasons?
