*Buzzsaw* Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 If Dorsett is out, I think its time Alex Grenier got a chance to prove himself. He is having a decent season so far in Utica, on a team which is not very good. 11 points in 13 games, -1. He brings a big body, and some skill level with puck, especially his shot. Right now the 4th line has almost no offensive potential, with the exception of Chaput. Perhaps Grenier can give them a chance to score. He's now 25, mature enough to know this will probably be one of his last chances, and skilled enough to take advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khay Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Grenier doesn't have the grit nor fire to play the 4th line role effectively. Not enough skill to play the 2nd/3rd line role. He doesn't replace Dorsett. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedinyoureyesontheprize Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Grenier is great career ahler just doesn't have a game that transitions to the NHL. Big body and heavy but def doesn't use it to his advantage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys with good size but are too soft to grind out for garbage/greasy goals and don't play as physical as their size demands them to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grenier is going to be a career AHL'er/fringe NHL'er. He doesn't have the tools to make the bigger club. He's had his chances, time to give someone else a shot.

RRypien37 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 He's had numerous chances and he couldn't even hit/fight to get himself noticed. I am not even talking about putting up points. He showed NOTHING in his opportunity. Shades of Darren Archibald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rush17 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 He blew his chance last year. He had that extended stint with the Sedins and did next too nothing. I would love to see Lebate but I'm not opposed too a 2-3 game stint for Greiner! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outside of Virtanen, who should spend some time in Utica right now, we don't really have anyone who is projected to be more than a fringe NHLer in the minors. It is pretty, pretty thin down there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintPatrick33 Posted November 18, 2016 Share Posted November 18, 2016 Buzzsaw, i thought you only post after losses. You must be joking, this guy played with the Twins and was invisible as a white trash father. Give me a break bud, do you even watch hockey? Labate, Chaput Zalewski etc etc deserve better than this scrub of an AHL player. No hitting, no fights, no goals, only a soft marshmallow enjoying his AHL time. Reminds me of Bernier and Matthias. For your information, Kass had great stats while playing with the twins, compared to Grenier this makes no sense at all. Career AHLer, try again Buzzsaw. If I wanted to see a ghost play on the team, I have Bear and Loui to watch right now. Thank you come again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
