Grenier is probably seeking a one-way deal.
Good-bye if so. No way he merits a one-way deal in any way, shape, or form.

That's probably a pretty awful AHL D group.

Sautner is an undrafted player who held his own only when paired with Utica's best D-man. When all were present he was depth.
I don't think it's good either. The depth is a lot worst than last year, but there are always players who weren't signed, overseas, or over-agers that want a second shot at the NHL and thus are happy to get an entry-level deal.
Well Grenier doesn't exactly have much in the way of bargaining rights does he? Canucks don't need to say goodbye. The Canucks don't need to sign him. If Grenier doesn't agree he's pretty much screwed.
I'm not sure about that. Sautner held his own as a first year pro. Green seems happy with his play and considering the Canucks actually called him up last season, I'm sure Green had something to do with the callup.
It's not Calder cup worthy but it'd be great for development
I really, really like saying "that guy is going to Alaska." maybe not quite as good as saying he's going to the zoo, but still good.
Just think that 2nd rounder on Vey could have had McKeown in the system. If Vey doesn't get qualified another 2nd pick just got flushed down the crapper by the toads in charge of this mess.
Nilsson had a 3 yr ELC with Toronto and did nothing in the one year (his second on the ELC ,while chosing to play in Sweden years 1 and 3) he tried the AHL. Don't believe he was in the top 6, put up 6 total points (1G/5A), only played in 44 games, could end up in Alaska, but if he stays, he is more likely to be depth rather than top 6.
Sautner was chosen over McEneny and Cederholm as he is younger and potentially has more promise.
Sautner is the same age as McEneny and older than Cederholm. Potentially more promise is important no?
I think Nilsson will be pencilled in at Utica. He played all of the Marlies first 36 games before missing a couple months due to injury. Doesn't produce offense, but is supposed to be a pretty solid defensive player at the AHL level and his first pass is better than his stats would suggest.
Would ideally be on the third pairing at Utica, but could probably capably handle a #4 spot if it came to it.
It's a mistake to not quality Etem. I really do believe that he's going to have a better season in 2017. He's showing a lot of promise.

The one good thing about the affiliation with AHL-Chicago was that one could refer to cut players as "being thrown to the Wolves".I really, really like saying "that guy is going to Alaska." maybe not quite as good as saying he's going to the zoo, but still good.
"We sent Stewart and McEneny to Anchorage together. They should have enough food for a week, but it's getting too cold to hitch. Last I heard, the boys separated in Skagway, with Stewart heading to the Klondike. Something about gold.."You just know that's going to be Travis Green's go-to line during Comets camp.

Still concerned as to why he didn't return to Toronto for the next season instead of returning to Sweden. 2 of his 3 ELC years spent in Sweden and then released. Sounds like another reclamation project and it could get in Sautner's path.
