Can he fight?

 

[lilidk]

Can he fight?

To soft for to be a fighter

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

Can he fight?

Can he score? All we have is "defence"

 

[Holden Caufield]

Well earned.

Great season. Kid is developing as planned.

 

[wings95]

Nice. Hope he does well

YES HE CAN DEFEND, JASTER!

Looks like he might get some games in with GR

Glad to see this. I hope we have a new coach in GR soon for our kids to learn under. Simon ain't great.

 

[Go Wings]

Who cares about fighting can he play the right side? I know he naturally plays the left but we have a glut of defense and defense prospects on the left side. Not the worst problem to have though.

Now having said that, I am excited to see what he can do in GR.

The biggest steal in the 2020 draft takes the next step.

If this regime ends up with as many good forward prospects as they're shaping up to have on defense, it's gonna be one helluva ride in a few years.

 

[Killerjas]

Thats my boy! Best skater we have in our prospect pool. Endless potential. Couldnt be more excited

 

[Retire91]

Really awesome hopefully both he and Cossa start out in GR next season will be great to see how they do.

 

[SpookyTsuki]

He’s got a good name. He won’t bust for sure.

 

[ricky0034]

forget defending or scoring or fighting or whatever

how is his yodeling?

 

[norrisnick]

He’s got a good name. He won’t bust for sure.

Cries in Grigorenko, Ryno, Pulkkinen, Elfstrom and Frk...

 

[Perfect Human]

Viro, AlJo, Wallinder, Edvinsson.

All in NA now.

So excited!

 

[Frk It]

Cries in Grigorenko, Ryno, Pulkkinen, Elfstrom and Frk...

Tread lightly.

 

[norrisnick]

Tread lightly.

Did you drop Legos?

 

[Go Wings]

Cries in Grigorenko, Ryno, Pulkkinen, Elfstrom and Frk...

Don't thrown Grigorenko in with those others. If not for that car accident that almost killed him he would have developed into an impact player for Detroit.

Really awesome hopefully both he and Cossa start out in GR next season will be great to see how they do.

Add Mazur and maybe Kasper too. That had the potential to be a strong team.

 

[lilidk]

I go with him, hate, like, meh. I believe he's Cholowsky 2.0, but we will see

He has already done more than cholowski in a pro league

Be that as may, he still should have been a good player. Igor was a good KHL scorer. He thought the AHL was beneath him (not wrong), but because he didn't try he never got a shot.

No he didn't think the AHL was beneath him, he couldn't keep up with the speed of it. He lost a lot of his speed after the accident. He is NOT a bust. He was a boy who got into such a serious accident that his chances of living were 10% (might be off on the number). He lived and had a successful career in the NHL which further proves just how talented he was. Try to keep this in mind for context: Datsyuk and Zetterberg never played a minute in the AHL and neither would Grigorenko if he didn't get hurt. He was that good.

I'm well aware of the Grigorenko story. Shorter Kovalchuk with a bit of nastiness. He peaced out after 5 games in the AHL. If he can hang in the KHL he could have been an NHLer. Probably not a top liner but a middle six physical goal scorer. Just didn't want to ride buses. Don't really blame him... but not making it is on him.
