I am sorry he always seems a step slow . He was invisable when playing Girgensons . Girgensons was all hustle . I want Grigorenko to be a star as much as anyone . But he is showing no drive and desire . That is what the great ones have . Maybe he grows up soon . I think Rolston is trying to show him that.

he is slow.. he needs to work on his skating.. you can tell he has skill, he really needs to go to the AHL

Girgensons, Grigorenko and Flynn had a great game a couple nights ago, Then all of the sudden Grigorenko was taken off that line and put on the 4th line?

They are worried too much about his D game, Let him play and go out to create offense. It is what he is good at. We did not draft him to play defense.

i thought that line was the best of that game while they were together.. Grigs made some nice plays with the puck.. then boom he was banished to the 4th line

Gretzky had no hustle whatsoever. Not all players have to play erratic and careless. There is way too much confusion between a lack of heart, and having the poise and patience to make the right play.

When he was playing Girgensons? In the scrimmage? Or with him? Grigrenko hasn't gone past the face off dots in the offensive zone because of this system. Rolston isn't showing him anything IMO. I'd be a pretty p!sssd off 19 year old if they won't let him do what he does best.

Which still makes zero sense. Rolston said that was his best line and then boom lets break it up. I've had it with this organization from Darcy down. They took a chance on drafting him. At least let him play and see if he can.

My point exactly. Playing your top offensive prospect can do no extra harm to a team that is the worst in the NHL.

Gretzky was elusive and he was a lot quicker than he looked . Most important he had drive and desire . No one wants to see that more than me from Grigorenko . But he shows it in brief flashes but not consistently. That kid is so frustrating to watch .

Ugh, now people keep spamming me about how the Sabres are gonna trade Miller and Vanek to the Oilers. I have my doubts but they do need to go either way.

But no way is Miller waiving his clause for them.

the key is kid.. he is being hurt by the CHL/NHL/AHL rules right now.. he needs to be in the AHL to work on his speed play on a "skill" line..

They were on a line together for a game . I thought here we go . Grigorenko will draw of Girgensons energy . Did not happen .

As is Grigo. Like Myers, he has those long strides that cover more ground than most. I'm willing to bet that he is much faster than guys like Ennis who may seem quick, but have extremely short strides that are great for agility, but not overall speed. To counter the inconsistency argument, Grigo consistently played well toward the end of last year when he was given top line PP minutes and flashes of 1st line 5v5 minutes. Right now, because he's getting sent down for practically no reason whatsoever, he's playing uncomfortably, much more conservative, and a lot more hesitant than he should be. He's afraid of making mistakes and getting poop on even more by Rolston.

It all revolves around how much they value Ehrhoff. I personally think he'd be their #1, and would be a solid top pairing partner with Justin Schultz, but if they overvalue their own guys, they could see him as less than what he should be.
- LetsGoBuffalo75



The oilers have shown past interest in Myers, so I wouldn't be surprised if he somehow fits into the trade. ESP if we take out Vanek. In that vase I could also see Stafford included. EDM has inquired about him in the past too.

Seems like any deal will totally hinge on whether or not Miller will agree to re-sign there as part of the trade.

This.

However I am concerned that Grigorenko might be a guy that dissapeares in a fast pace physical playoff series. No facts to back it up its just a concern of mine

You never know. That could easily happen, but he may also be an absolute stud in the playoffs like Leino was.
