[Report] Mikhail Grabovski down to 3 teams


Recommended Posts

the fact he still isn't signed means he will probably have to sign a cheap 1 year contract to prove to the nhl he can play or he could bolt to russia if he is after the big bucks because you don't see too many players being signed for over 2 million around this time

Detroit has Datsyuk, Weiss, Helm, and Anderson as their centers. No room for Grabovski. Columbus doesn't have space for Grabo unless they make a move to free up cap space. If Grabovski is willing to take $2.5 million we can afford him.

I'd be down to sign tanev and try and make do with a rookies for depth if we can sign grabo short term cheap. Then we can look to solidify our defense for the playoffs via midseason trade. Flip booth for a solid dman or something later on.

Wouldn't hesitate to sign Grabovski if the Canucks could manage the cap space.

He'll make 1.7 in Leafs money for the next nine years...

The Canucks have 4.35 million left to sign Tanev and a depth player or two - and another defenseman is undoubtedly the priority, but if they had another million and Grabovski would sign in the 3 million range, I would have been very happy to see him in a Canucks uniform. The guy is an outstanding two way player (he and MacAthur had been the best Leafs for years imo - and Macarthur ironically walked for only 3 million). Grabovski was in an ironic doghouse this year in Toronto - they gave Kadri the offensive opportunities that Grabovski enjoyed in the past, and used Grabovski in a typical shutdown role (36% offensive zone starts) - and then turned around and complained that he wasn't producing as usual.
