Kids nowadays... RT@Sabres_Hockey28: Hahaha Grigorenko and some other sabres are having an xbox tournament pic.twitter.com/jPszeQ7Ozc
The four youngsters with Grigorenko in the pic I just RT'd are Lemieux, Baptiste, Cornel and Makarov.
The talking heads on WGR said Friday morning Grigorenko has put on 10 pounds of muscle and is in the best shape of his life.. Note to the realists:passing on this information does not mean I am predicting Grigorenko will score 30 goals this year.

By the end of next year's draft, this organization is going to be overloaded with talented youngsters.
3 years from now, this team is going to be very difficult to play against.

sounds promising. he has alot of work to cover, but i think a year to develop in the AHL will really help the kid.Originally Posted by Ginger Vitis

Spot duty on the big club... but couldn't agree more about him being on the Amerks for the year.
i mean, if he gets called up, it should be because he earned it, or they just have so many injuries they had to and once they get healthy again, hes back in the A.

Test results from development camp... there was chatter and innuendo on WGR that Reinhart was probably closer to being 5'11 but this chart says he is 6'1... Biggest surprise for me is Mark Pysyk is 200 pounds

Wow. Zadorov a hefty 238.

Look at the leg strength of Risto and Grigs. Also of note is the agility of Lemieux at that size... remarkable.
slightly concerned about the agility number listed for Reinhart.

From a weightlifting perspective i wouldnt put any stock in bench pressing numbers but leg strength is a big factor for NHL players.. Zadorovs numbers on the back squat aren't great by any means he need to focus more on leg strength

You guys have to remember these are young kids at all different stages of physical development. They will all round into form by age 22 or 23.

And you wonder why I glossed Zadorov as The Big Show?

Rob Ray said this morning on WGR Reinhart got banged around quite a bit in the scrimmages and the game and doesn't think Reinhart is physically ready for the NHL and Andrew Peeters doesn't think so either..They both think Reinhart needs more time in juniors but Reinhart for the most part has done all he can in juniors its catch 22 situation
I'd be fine with Samson in kootnay one more year.

I've said from the beginning he needs to go back to juniors.
Damn,
Them white boys can't jump.... or bench.... squat #'s are decent.... and those better be wide grip pull ups with a pronated grip
I'm rattled. These are elite athletes and I thought they would put up more impressive numbers. I guess skating all day limits chances to work on these other tests
