Exactly the kind of overreaction that I'm referring to. This scenario is entirely the fault of the previous regime. Under the new Sabres' administration, he'll be developed and "pushed" at the proper level and that will ultimately benefit both Grigorenko and the organization.

Like I was saying, but what massive fan overreaction to the entire scenario that has ended with a predictable outcome. Next story.

@SabresProspects WATCH: Nick Baptiste collects 1+2 in Sudbury's Sat. win. Love the quick curl and dish for second assist >> http://youtu.be/10YYiTgaAaE

Hoppe has a good writeup on the entire Grigorenko saga: Prospect Mikhail Grigorenko won’t report to junior, future with Sabres unclear

He does indeed....It's called psyche.

Nolan's meritocracy mumblings ring hollow to me when guys like I mentioned play prominent roles on the team. But hey.....Tank On Baby!

Good point. Crying shame that they wasted two years of his ELC having him sit or play reduced minutes mostly with slug linemates.

He watches Scott, Leino, and D'Agostini too. Are they ready?

@hockeynight Updated: Claude Noel fired as head coach of Winnipeg #NHLJets http://fw.to/23iVgVC #hockeynight #CBCSports @Sportsnet The Winnipeg #Jets have fired coach Claude Noel and hired Paul Maurice as his replacement: http://ow.ly/svdF1

The Grigorenko issue made it to CBC Hotstove Tonight

This too shall pass. :yawn:

An immature 19 year old?......No way! I'm completely shocked!

Not sure if this has been posted from Grigorenko's Facebook Page:

Do you actually believe there's a market for either?

@BuffaloSabres NEW ERA IN BUFFALO: These digital billboards are now up around the city.

It was MacLean who said he already knows who his AGM is gonna be but he'll let Murray announce it.
