They couldn't find a trading partner?

 

Lots of RFA's around that are upgrades on our bottom half roster.

 

They didn't qualify a bunch of other players too.  Maybe players demanded huge overpayments for staying on a team that is in disarray... way worse than we are.

This is very surprising. He's still quite young, even if he doesn't turn into a top line player he could still be a decent middle six player. Give him a shot JB! 

What's wrong with Grigorenko that the AVs just give up on him?  Doesn't make sense, does it?

He has never lived up to his 1st round selection status so I am not surprised they decided to part ways with him. However, I am very surprised that they couldn't trade him for a 3rd or 4th round pick as opposed to just letting him walk. Strange things going on in Colorado......legalized marijuana to blame?

Why did we spend a contract on Jason Friggin' Megna?  Wouldn't we rather watch Grigorenko?

Guess they didn't know that Grigorenko would become available when they signed Megna. Besides, we needed to have 2 forwards signed for the expansion draft requirements.

Yes. It makes you question what is wrong. But bad enough to not even be qualified?

Don't know why grigs didn't get qualified. Haven't seen enough of him

 

i mean did he play terrible on the worst team in 20 years...? :blink:

He has very good size and was great in the face-off circle so you would think he might make a good 4C. Colorado played him mainly on the wing as his skating is quite suspect. Another candidate for Bo's skating coach.
