I remember how hyped I was for grigorenko then he didn't turn out the way I expected.

Yeah why not? They’re free wallets

Rummaging around in that bargain bin.

Didn't totally hate Grigorenko with the Avs, but his game seemed a lot more suited to the wider rink and slower pace of the KHL. Wasn't quite skilled enough to pull off his (very) low intensity style in the NHL, and the Avs ultimately opted to protect then-AHLer Rocco Grimaldi at the expansion draft rather than him after the disaster season. Not sure how his game changed in the past years.

Grigorenko has developed like Dandonov

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Grigo could still workout but Nesterov sucks. Great tools but no hockey sense.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Can't find a spot for Bracco(and a couple others in the AHL)... but sure go and sign Grigorenko because it's way more creative.

I mean, I trust their bargain bin stuff and that's what cap teams need to do. They brought in a ton of guys who are NHLers for free, traded most of them now, but got cheap depth and moved on when they got too expensive or redundant.

Looks like he's done it again with Mikheyev who has been amazing

Pretty sure no one was signed yet? But IF they decide to trade Bracco for something or some other move, they have back up plans for depth. It's hilarious how people spin anything to be bad for Dubas. Bracco is nothing dude, he sucks.

 

[Tralfamadore]

LOL Grigorenko suuucks.

Having a larger pool to choose from can be a good direction.

Isn’t bracco a 1 dimensional soft winger who excels on the power play? Don’t the leafs have plenty of those?

 

[Sens]

LOL Grigorenko suuucks.

Players develop... Dadono was garbage when he went home

Pray tell, what does Grigorenko excel at?

No, he doesn't.

I actually like Dubas, but it's hilarious how people spin anything that is even remotely critical about their team.

NHLers isn't a word I'd use to describe Nesterov (and a lesser extent Grigorenko) though.

No idea. I’m just responding to what Bracco is.

It’s a bargain bin for a reason. Zaitsev is probably one of the best possible outcomes.

Risk is non-existent so there’s no harm in it just very little upside too.

You guys literally just traded for one of our bargain bins and remarked how well he looked in camp so no, there are a ton of good pieces they brought in.

If hes better, why is it bad?

Bracco had a terrible camp. He doesnt get a free pass

 

[Leafidelity]

Lets hope he finds another Ilya Mikheyev. HFboards doesn't even know who he is yet.
