Grigo should stay in Buffalo. He will only reinforce bad habits in Jr. He is skilled enough to float in Jr and put up good numbers. He won't learn anything there. The only place to learn how to play NHL hockey is in the NHL.

Have you watched him ? He has no compete . Does not belong in the NHL . Wonder if he can go to a European pro league . You don't simply have the right to play in the NHL . You earn it . Kid does not get that concept . Till he does . He has no place here . Darcy screwed the pooch on this one . Never should have been brought up .

Trade Miller to Detroit for Jimmy Howard... Straight up.



-Detroit gets the better goalie, making them an immediate Cup contender (in Alfredson's last yr)... And what's more is they need not worry about Ryan walking via UFA, because he's been dreaming about playing with his bro in Detroit since his childhood.


-Buffalo gets the Syracuse native Howard (who is talented and not as old as Miller), to platoon with Enroth moving forward.


didn't know you were able to read Miller's dreams
It's a win-win for both clubs.

I'm not saying he doesn't have a gripe... I'm saying that with an inch here or there, he would have given up 5-6 goals last night. His glove was late on at least 3 of the shots that rang off the posts. He got smoked! My beef with his comment is that this is a team sport and the beauty of a team sport is that you're all in it together... through the good and bad. If he gives up 5 goals and the Sabres (miraculously) found a way to score 6, will he go to the press and announce that he was terrible and thankfully his team won it for him? I doubt it... at best he'd say he wished he had a couple of them back. That is my beef... I've always liked him personally, but he's never going to be on Miller's level... and I'm not a Miller fan (at all). I just respect how good Miller truly is, even if he's still a hair below the Hasek / Brodeur / Roy level of goaltender.

Agreed. Enroth looked pretty bad last night.

Of course I watched him. AHL would be perfect because he'd play against men. Your idea of a European would be fine too. It looks to me as either NHL or QMJHL. NHL is the only place he'd learn. Give him 5 to 10 min a game, he can earn the rest.

Darcy, like everything else he did, worked by fear. In this case fear of losing Grigs to the KHL so he kept him in Buffalo when he should have gone back to juniors. I just hope he isn't totally wrecked as a prospect.

I don't agree with that. I think Darcy wanted a youth movement as a way to appease Pegula for the high draft picks, and stay bad. I think his motivation was probably out of fear of being fired but not with grigo going to russia. he threw his youth out there to not develop properly so he could keep his job. It didn't work because he figured if he did what Terry wanted that he would be spared but Pegula could see that Regier's plan was self-preservation and not an actual plan, everyone could. It was his time.

I just hope he is actually an NHL prospect....Griganotsofar.

I agree with this.

He seems to have this entitlement thing like he is "Owed Something".

What has he done thus far to deserve to stay?

If management is even thinking of sending him down and he plays on the worst team in the league that is short Cody Hodson right now, what does that tell you of what they think of his game?

The book on him is that he relies heavily on his God given skill to get him by. It worked in the tournament because he is playing in his age group and he is better then them. In the NHL, talent is nothing if you dont put the work in. Maybe he needs to know he is getting sent down if he doesnt work. When he gets called up next he may appreciate it more.
