He Got Hot!
Vancouver knew what they were giving up. Florida didn't.
Nothing happened to him. He's always been a one dimensional, speedy, goal scorer. When these type of players are not scoring they are useless. When they are HOT, they can help teams win.
I think it was Florida's mistake to let him go by waivers. You simply don't waive a player that can skate and shoot as well as Grabner. How did Dave Tallon forget that "the new NHL" is made for speedy players? No patience.
Tallon built a cup winning team in Chicago, but I don't think he's on the same path with Florida. Snow had an easy decision, but he's still a smart GM.
