Confirmed with Link: Sens recall Derek Grant.

[SebFromHawk]

Because Zibanejad can't play on the 1st PK and 2nd PP??? He's the most versatile prospect we have.

 

[Emerica]

Congrats to him. Can't be much worse than what we saw from Da Costa.

 

[Blarginator]

I like that move. Brings much needed skill and jam combo to the bottom 6.

 

[Tundraman]

That's a weird way of writing Zibanejad. FFFFFFFFFFFFF!

Strange but.... Mika took his NHL spot for granted so the Sens are taking Grant for Mika.

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Should help the PK.

Probably part of the reasoning behind calling him up.

Solid point

That's a pretty bold conclusion to simply jump to.

Seems odd they would do it before a Bingo game. Does a morning skate really help?

The game is at two tomorrow so I doubt there is a morning skate. I'm not positive on this but the CBA has a clause on hours between games. I think players need atleast 23 hours between games

zooooommmmmmmm!

Did you maybe forget one of these then?

Or was the pun the point of the post?

Give the man a cigar.

 

[saskriders]

Would have preferred JOB or Zib, just don't think Grant has the tools to be a long term NHLer

 

[BrawlFan]

great guy and pickup. Could make our bottom 6 bigger and stronger.

 

[sens613]

Can't be worse then kassian.

 

[Slack]

Best part? He can win draws
(or so I've heard)

But JGP should consider himself threatened by this news. Time to step it up, kid!

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Well deserved.

 

[Slack]

He's put up a lot of short-handed goals too, so maybe Condra's scoring phobia gets smoothed over a little. In a perfect world anyway.

 

[Alf Silfversson]

Can't be worse then kassian.

Basically.

If Kassian plays against the Oilers I'm gonna be pissed off.

The guy is good for fighting and nothing else.

Grant moves around well for a guy with his reach and he seems to think the game well from a defensive standpoint, something that certainly could help the Sens right now.

 

[John Holmes*]

So I guess that means Murray was telling 'untruths' when he said JOB was the extra forward.

 

[DJB]

Nice easily the most underrated guy in the Sens system... Chris Kelly part 2

Yup. Hands down has been for a long time now. Like 4 years now.

 

[salomonster]

I like how the Senators bring up the player that's playing the best instead of the one with the highest profile.

Make them work for it, send a good message to the entire organization.

Hopefully he plays like

 

[StefanW]

I have to admit that I don't know much about him besides what I read here. If he is good on faceoffs and can kill penalties then I'm behind this 100%. Is he also known for being disciplined? We can use someone in our bottom 6 who can play a period or more without ending up in the box.

 

[OmniSens]

Happy for him, but still would rather Zibanejad.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Happy for him, but still would rather Zibanejad.

Zibanejad > Grant. Obviously but I think Grant suits the team's needs at the moment. I like this move and I was calling for it a couple days ago. Nice to see guys get an opportunity in roles they're made for. He should be killing lots of penalties and giving us a bit more skill in the bottom six...

The big question now is who comes out? I love JGP but I won't be surprised if its him tomorrow with the man crush Mac has for Kassian and Grants abilities as a center. I sound like a broken record here but I'd sit Greening. He played better after he had his ass in the press box last year. Grant-Pageau-Condra should be able to be a decent bottom six line to take defensive zone draws.
