I want the guy to succeed but he seems really arrogant about his ability. He's got a lot of talent but he's got a long way to go if he's going to be a good NHL'er.
Good to hear he's going to report to Quebec and I hope he goes pissed off and doesn't get complacent. Improve your game and get better Grigs.
Well that's somewhat of a relief, aren't Quebec over the import limit?
They would have been a couple weeks ago but now that restriction is lifted.
Thanks. Couple questions:
1) where will he be playing?1st line?
2)His NHL trade value was hampered, has it gone back up? ever so slightly?
I haven't written him off as a guy who will eventually put up a lot of points in this league. He will be a 70pt player that wont kill you defensively some day. I am not convinced he will ever be a player you win with though.Next year should be big for him, a full 70ish games playing top 6 minutes in professional hockey. I still haven't written him off and hope he can figure it out. It's show me time.

I think he COULD be a great complementary player, but shouldn't be the best player on the team -- a guy like Kovalev.
Your posts make me laugh.Thanks.I'm sure there was a resolution and I am even more sure that resolution involves Grigs not being a Buffalo Sabre after the trade deadline.

#Sabres Grigorenko to report to Quebec City, afterall. Just got off phone with his agent. Short version of update filed. More to come.

Anyways the greatest crisis in Buffalo Sabres history is over. Back to winning useless games!
How exactly can you "not win with" a player who puts up 70 points and doesn't kill you defensively? I'd sure hate to have that on my team...
