Well his skating has improved but his acceleration is still problematic and he is a guy who wonder how high his hockey IQ is. For me Grigorenko is an enigma that really needs time to learn in the AHL before we can properly judge him. If you think about his play in Buffalo last year, it was better.
IMO, his Hockey IQ/sense is excellent. Even in limited NHL minutes, it was pretty evident to my eye. Getting stronger, demonstrating a greater willingness to battle, and improving his skating have been the major areas where he needs to show improvement. He certainly showed improvement in Rochester last season, but let's see how far he's progressed in these areas in the coming camp/season. Looking forward to his continued development.

I'll be a blogging fly on the wall in office of agent Steve Bartlett as NHL free agency begins at noon. A unique perspective of the process.
I'll tweet a blog link as we get closer to noon. UFAs of local interest represented by Steve Bartlett: Gionta brothers and Thomas Vanek.
Please realize that while I will have fly-on-the-wall access, I'm there as a courtesy. This won't be who offered what play-by-play (more)...
(Cont.)... This will be a behind-the-scenes blog of the UFA process, starting with the first call from whatever GM at noon.
Pretty darn cool!

Told this morning that chances of Brian Gionta staying in Montreal are fading.
Of the 3 or 4 teams on Gionta's list....Buffalo is certainly there...NJ is not. #SNSigningSeason

A true scientific genius.

Paul Stastny and the Avalanche were not able to get a deal done. He'll hit the market tomorrow. #tvasports
Matt Moulson remains interested in returning to Sabres. Six teams have expressed "serious interest" in signing him. Keeping options open.

Do these glasses make me look fat?
He doesn't give a hoot! :lol:

New era is at hand in Buffalo. A GM who wants to shape a team of young guns into achievers. The days of giving lip service to winning and not gutting it out on the ice are over. If you don't want to be a part of the solution, don't let the door hit you in the rear. Erhoff wanted out but he had a contract no one
wanted to assume. Was he an asset? Yes. Could his trade brought in another player of picks? Yes. Was it doable? No. Tough decision had to be made and Murray was up to the task. After the bleak end of the Regier regime this is a bright dawning of a new day and I like it.
Ya don't say?

Now that seems like a logical fit for both sides.
Indeed. Would be a nice pickup for the Blues and simultaneously it'd weaken a Western Conference rival.
Breaking: Senators Looking to Sign Benoit Pouliot http://wp.me/p4jclE-2hO
Key part from that article is the fact that Benoit Pouliot was in Ottawa today to meet with the #Sens. Also says Ottawa is his top choice.

I'm going to stand by what I said and opine that there really isn't any pressing issues with this forum. Sure there are times when threads get off-topic, on the rare occasion a dispute might pop up. But overall it all adds to the entertainment factor yet doesn't overwhelm the place. I think if we all start commenting to those that don't follow these unwritten rules it will just become more of a distraction. I like the tweets because I don't follow everybody related to hockey. I like the occasional off-topic posts, it can lighten the mod a little. With the risk of sounding repetitive I say we just let it be. If it ain't broke.......
Nothing wrong with a collective examination toward making things better here.

I'd laugh if nfreeman comes in, takes a look around and does a Pat LaFontaine.
:lol:

Here we go:
Bob McKenzie @TSNBobMcKenzie now
NSH trying to deal Michael Del Zotto before 4 ET. If no deal, do they qualify at $2.9M or let him go UFA. Suspect it's latter but not firm.
He's drawing interest from Garth Snow:
Told that Islanders have been looking into Del Zotto, whose rights will either be dealt today by Nashville or who will not be qualified.

Florida.
Seems like quite a big ask for a 3rd line, leadership type to me....he's the kind of player teams need to win but...........

I like Bolland, but is there a team out there willing to make that long of a commitment?
LeBrun on Team 1040: I think Dave Bolland is looking for six or seven years in term, between $5-$6 million a year. #Leafs
