that is what "one Western Conference GM" thought

Feaster? 'Cause that guy is a genius....

NHL.com says that Pred's Piole is interested in Doan.

Now that.. is one team desperate to spend money and especially on Offense.

Pegula might be outbid.

russians play good together, kostitsyn isnt bad at all

Now that the G-Men are signed...

Chances of them played 25+ games for Buffalo

Girgensons 25%
Grigorenko 10%

I think both are guaranteed to get their 9-10 game try out. And that tryout this year is against some STIFF competition..

Pitt, Det, NYR, NYI, NJD, NJD, Phil, Bos, Phx, and Car.

you are looking all playoff teams in all but 2 games and yet we always have hard games against NYI and Carolina it seems.

Why is Girgensons higher, exactly? Grigorenko is more NHL ready by far.

that is contradicting to the reports of most people from the developmental camp.

If we're going by performance in a 3-day camp with a bunch of kids opposed to NHL players, Frederic Roy would be signed by now, Jamie Wise would be on the NHL roster on Day 1, and Cody Hodgson would be in Rochester.

People are just in love with Girgenson's aggressive nature. He still has work to do. Also, I haven't read one legitimate report that said Girgensons is ahead of Grigorenko, just opinions on fan sites and message boards.

not according to how the development camp went

they'd probably sign both roy and wise, but they can't...

the grigorenko signing brings the total number of pro contracts to 47 with ennis and kaleta still unsigned...

the max is 50 pro contracts

that is contradicting to the reports of most people from the developmental camp.

it was also a VERY sloppy game, no flow, no matter who was on the ice.

i think grigs will play better with better competition where the game has a flow to it
