Here's hoping he gets more of a look
Oh he'll get a good look - from the rafters.

Prust is expected to play tonight apparently. Baertschi expected back Saturday. Virtanen joining team again tomorrow. So Grenier likely gets to watch from the press box.
Benning's new approach to player development.
He's ahead of the curve!
Yes, it would be nice if they actually played the prospects. Give him an actual shot to show what he can do.
This is on Desjardins I guess....Biega recalled a half-dozen times before he gave him a shot...now they can't get him out of the lineup....must be disillusioning to Comets who get recalled and then get squat in terms of playing time, while guys like Prust, Higgins, Dorsett, Weber and Bartkowski bring virtually nothing night after night....but that's just Willie being Willie....hopefully he'll be swept up in the same off-season broom.
Imagine if Benning actually sells at the deadline. Potentially Hamhuis, Vrbata, Higgins, and Prust gone for prospects and picks. Then guys like Gaunce, Grenier, and Pedan could get some game time.

After going scoreless in January, Alex Grenier has 26 points in 23 games in Feb/March/April so far and eclipsed his career totals in five less games (43 points in 67 games last year, and 44 points through his first 62 games this year).
He has also played those six games with the Canucks. I certainly hope he re-signs and pushes for a spot next year. I hate when this team doesn't re-sign players who have shown consistent improvement.
I guess at this point your goal should be pushing the likes of Etem/Dorsett/Zalewski/Vey out of their bottom-six role. This team has too many middling forwards. I hope they get him on another two-way contract with some superior compensation. If they can get him 10-20 games next year, maybe they can package him in a trade.Even if Vey goes, Burrows is bought out, and McCann starts in Utica he's still 13th or 14th on the list to start next year. He's in tough.
