C Mikhail Grigorenko (2012, 12th, BUF; traded to COL) IV

[hockeykid87]

Man Regier really blew it with Grigorenko. This has to be some of the worst handling of a top prospect I've ever seen

 

[Loffer]

What's the issue here? He should go and play in Q. No problems. Sabres has done nothing wrong with him. It's not their fault he cant play in the AHL.

 

[joe89]

In theory, could he get loaned to a Swedish club? I think Allsvenskan would be a great level for him.

 

[Mit Yarrum]

This is entirely on Grigs. Be a man, play hockey where you are assigned to.

Without the threat of the khl, is there a single one of you that thinks this would be an issue?

 

[Doublechin]

Grigorenko has future KHL written all over him, I was preaching that pre draft.

 

[Bure]

Q is filled with young players. I don't blame grig for not wanting to report but he should just tough it out.

Grigorenko won't report to Quebec...for now. Will take the next few days to study his options. Not sure what he can do, he can't play in the KHL since he has a NHL contract.

He should have never go to Canada. It is too late to regret now. The career is already ruined.

I don't think so. I think the NHL is obliged to offer the player back to the CHL club.

He was always a high risk-high reward player. He was/is worth the 12th overall pick when we had girgesons coming up with the 14th as a safe bet player.

He can still turn it around though. It seems unlikely but it could happen.

Unfortunately probably true. I didn't like him at WJC. Not looking good.

You be a man. Don't tell a guy who has the guts to leave his life thousands of miles behind to be a man.

Wow, a kid is 19 years old and his NHL career is probably over. Everyone needs to just relax in regards to Grigorenko. He's 19 and pissed about being sent back to the CHL. The boards are acting like this kid is a fully mature man when he's only 19. A 19 year old has a bad attitude sometimes, just like most 19 year olds. Give the kid time to mature and the organization will figure something out.

Also in regards to his speed, he can improve on this. His skills aren't done developing while he's still in his teenage ears. Buffalo is an extremely ppor passing team, Grigs was already one of the best passers on the team and they will rely on him in the future.

Grigorenko is a young player...

I don't like his effort level. I'm cheering for Grigs, but there has been no progress. It's a bad sign.

Looks like a tweener in every respect.

Well it sounds like Grigorenko didn't have the easiest childhood growing up. Not sure what the confusion is.

It is sounds more like lie and stupid attempt to buy Your heart and mind with that pitiful statement. PS: Not every family can allow icehockey section for their kids in Russia. BTW i do hope he will do well career in ice hockey.

Sounds like you're just ignorant, and incapable of understanding how good life is for you. FYI a person with North American fame cannot lie about something like this. They will never get away with it.

 

[Balls Mahoney]

I'm probably really cynical but I doubt Grigorenko wrote that. That's some first class damage control.

And I like Grigorenko, I would love him on my team. Just skeptical he wrote it.

 

[wings95]

Wow the kid is just a kid. Does it matter how he grew up? Maybe this is the best decision for him maybe not but IMO he is young and can be developed. Some of you "fans" are know it alls and way to harsh...

Are you serious? If yes, then please, stop talk about things you have no clue. You should be very poor to not have a such things like bed, shower and heat...it cost several times more to put your kids to ice hockey sections in Russia than in Canada. He played in Moscow( orig. from vladivastok) from age 13-14. That means his parents send him to there for better hockey education. It cost a lot, a lot of money. Who ever but not Grigorenko should cry a river for his poor childhood without bed, shower and heat...

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Wow, the ignorance in here..

 

[obskyr]

Not really, his family moved from Khabarovsk to Moscow when he was 7.

This messege sounds pathetic and overloaded with bull****, but it could work for North Americans, I guess. In Russia, where he could easily be a millionaire playing hockey, it's already becoming a running joke. Good luck, Mikhail, nobody forced you to follow your agent's advice.

Wow...wow, easy to be frivolous? however it's your choice, even to believe in bears on moscow streets...
