sabres prospect talk

Re: sabres prospect talk

It's just a hunch I hope I'm wrong..

maybe you arent. im concerned about the kid. but im just not ready to call him a bust.

maybe in a few days, he comes to his senses and reports to quebec. maybe he spends the rest of the year in the KHL. maybe maybe maybe. very odd situation.

maybe murray says **** off, and trades him. who knows.

Re: sabres prospect talk

Well, He's certainly not showing he was worth the pick.

When a 19 year old act's like this, It's not a good sign of what's to come.

And don't compare him to Vanek that's just being silly. Vanek never acted like a tard.

if you think im comparing vanek and grigo on issues, you couldnt be further off. its showing where the two were in their career at the same age. hence why grigo isnt a bust.

That option makes sense.. And it doesn't bother me that Murray would be selling low

Re: sabres prospect talk

seriously?

grigo is 19, and has played 43 games in the NHL. vanek wasnt even drafted till he was closer to 20 then 19. im saying that grigo isnt a bust. players need time and development, physically and mentally.

sould be a package deal at the deadline. hey, take moulson and grigo and we will take whatever. that package would get a good return.

hes also not the first prospect whose refused to take an assignment back to juniors. anton babchuk.

Ummm....No, Vanek shown he had NHL talent from day one..He also showed he was not a douche bag.

Grigs has shown nothing in the NHL, And he dropped in the draft because there were red flags all over the kid.

If he can't handle going back to the the CHL, He can't handle the pressure of being a NHL player.

The 11 teams who passed on Grigs in the 1st round were smart to do so.

Re: sabres prospect talk

He isn't trolling... why is this blowing up the way it is?

welcome to the game Mr. Murray.

The first move under his watch and Grigs isn't on the same page.

theres a problem.

He is trolling because that is all he ever contributes to this section

And yes - it is a problem. Sadly he was not handled correctly last year and the rules won't let him be assigned where he should be.

Re: sabres prospect talk

The positive is when his contract is up after next year, you can low ball the **** out of him and get him at a reasonable price.

No...Why do you think he's crying now? It's about money..Even if he sat in the Sabres press box he would make thousands, Going back to the CHL he's making like $500 a week.

If anything, When his contracts are up he's going to be all about getting paid.

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl5h
Just landed in DC and see Mikhail Grigorenko's agent tells @BNHarrington the Sabres center won't report to Quebec junior team. (1/?)

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl5h
Source says Pat LaFontaine talked with Grigorenko today for 30 minutes to explain juniors decision. Grigorenko resisted the assignment (2/?)

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl5h
Source says Sabres told Grigorenko he needed to play top-line roles and wasn't ready to do that in Buffalo. At end of extended talk (3/?)

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl5h
The Sabres felt Grigorenko understood the reasoning and was ready to go to Quebec. Obviously, something changed the prospect's mind. (4/?)

John Vogl @BuffNewsVogl5h
It's my guess Grigorenko's agent advised him to explore options because neither gets paid if the center is playing for free in juniors (5/5)

vanek also was allowed to develop in the AHL and at the NHL level at 21. not 18 and 19.

Re: sabres prospect talk

its gets even more odd.

if grigo doesnt report, his ELC gets extended to a 4th year.

i think, ultimately, he will report.
