I hate this team
Here come the NYR to sign him for 1 million and have him score 20 goals.

Neato. Perfect player for a contender to sign at league minimum next year.
Canucks should bring home their draftee.
Grabner would look nice on our 3rd line

would not shock me at all either.Nope TBL for 700k on a 2 way deal
They just bought him out so he has no salary. HE will be a UFA and can be signed for whatever he wants
I liked him in Toronto hopefully they bring him back
Who cares about AAV. AZ also has Hossa’s $5.25M they can place on LTIR. This move Saves $2.5M in actual cash which is the important thing.
That would be really nice for almost any team at 700k solid bottom liner. I hope a Canadian team gets him.

He’d be a great add for $1m. He’s not the same since the eye injury but still a really good fourth liner and PKer. But since he’s basically blind in one eye, he’s limited.
I think he's going back to Europe/KHL before any other team in the NHL. They are currently playing games there. Maybe he'll come back.

Elite anticipation and acceleration make him incredibly disruptive and let's him generate a breakaway the other direction. He'll get goals, but isn't really an offensive player.
The eye injury hasn't helped. The rest of his game is pretty unexciting, but doesn't hurt you. He doesn't help you cycle in the O zone, not great at tying guys up on the boards, isn't a playmaker. He just does his thing and is exceptionally good at it: He breaks up passes, closes gaps to force bad plays, steals loose pucks and is off to the races if he gets it.
This is a good, smart player that somebody will be very happy with at the right money and right role.

He's 32...wow time flies.
But yes, he skates like the wind, kills penalties, and isn't completely useless with the puck. If he was bigger/more physical he'd be an ideal bottom six forward...and also likely not bought out.

Grabner still has the wheels and is an excellent penalty killer. He also had 17 goals in 87 games over two seasons in Arizona. Seven of those goals were short handed. I'd take him on the Flyers in a heartbeat.
