Salary Cap: 2017-18 Roster Building Thread VI | Contract/FA charts in Post #1 | CAP SET at $75M

[theicebox]

pretty interesting move. he's only 23. put up 23 points last year. 10 goals. won 57% of his faceoffs

 

[Shrimper]

Wouldn't say no to Jordan Weal as one of our depth centers.

Crosby-Malkin-Weal-Grigorenko

Saves a lot of cap spending too

 

[Riptide]

What about Marleau for 3C? Has he played center recently?

I'd do it. Poorly suited to be a top 6C and hasn't played C in years... but as the #3C? I think he'd be fine.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

From what I've gathered Grigorenko is inconsistent and often times careless on the ice. Would still like him as a 4C/13th forward though.

 

[Riptide]

Pens aren't looking at Thornton. I will eat my shoes if he signs here.

What's Mike Fischer up to now that I think about it?

Fisher has an even lesser chance of leaving Nashville then Thornton has of signing here.

 

[Peat]

Grigoreko would actually be a good buy low candidate, but isn't it concerning that he's not even getting a QO from by far the worst team in hockey? I also recall there being questions about his ability to play center in the past.

Yes it is. However, if you rephrase it as...

Grigoreko would actually be a good buy low candidate, but isn't it concerning that he's not even getting a QO from by far the maddest most insane team in hockey? I also recall there being questions about his ability to play center in the past.

Then it's still concerning but a lot more worth a look.

 

[Riptide]

He's being asked to do more than here. I think he'd be great as our 4C. Put him with Reaves and an LW with some skill and they'll get what we need done on that line. Wouldn't give him a lot of money though, that's for sure.

He wouldn't cost a lot of money though. I bet when he signs (if he does), he costs less than 1m.

 

[SHOOTANDSCORE]

idk, it's joe sakic, is it really that surprising lol

He's a disaster.

First there was Milbury, then Snow, then Sweeney, now Sakic. That's some good entertainment. Not that any of them are on Milbury's level.

 

[clefty]

He can PK too.

We should be all over this.

He was maybe their sixth-choice forward when it came to penalty killing, and their penalty kill was a joke.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

pretty interesting move. he's only 23. put up 23 points last year. 10 goals. won 57% of his faceoffs

This could be an interesting one for them to get. C and those 23 points were 6th on Avs scoring.

Beau Bennett didn't get a QO. Sign him as an injury magnet?

I'd feel bad if he came back and went through Penguins style injury **** again.

 

[Randy Butternubs]

Grigorenko took less than 200 faceoffs last year. Probably a decent factor as to why he was at 57%.

 

[#1GuinFan]

If you want a player who can't score goals, Grigorenko is the ticket.

With Kunitz gone we'd need a new whipping boy
