Two or less Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 i don't think this has been brought up yet, but the Sabre Grigs most closely compares to: Pierre Turgeon. I've heard Rod Brind'Amour and Jonathan Toews, Never heard Turgeon mentioned with Grigs. Just wondering if I know the rule correctly, if Grigorenko signs his entry level contract, he can NOT sign with Moscow, right? Unless we "loan" him for a season (if he doesnt make roster, or if theres a lockout) and if he does bail the NHL for KHL, he will be banned from the Olympic games? Right?
dudacek Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 I think you're getting Grigs and Girgs confused. Girgensons is the rugged, straight line BrindAmour type. Grigorenko is the silky smooth, big talent with some intensity questions, most frequently compared to Jason Spezza. To me, Grigs is like Turgeon - big, talented and able to put up buckets of points, but with a style that always leaves you wanting more. I think even with a contract, he is free to play wherever he wants for the duration of the lockout, if there is one. But without a lockout, he goes where the Sabres send him. And I've never heard of an Olympics ban.

dudacek Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Great...we just got the Soviet version of Turgeon and Hogue..... Not a problem if we can package them to the islanders for Tavares and Dave McLlwain. http://slapshot.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/05/09/citing-radulov-iihf-enacts-stiff-penalties-in-contract-jumping-cases/ Interesting. And nice to see as well.
shrader Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 And I've never heard of an Olympics ban. Well technically, just being signed by an NHL team right now bans you from the Olympics.
Weave Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Great...we just got the Soviet version of Turgeon and Hogue..... I just sprayed my keyboard with a mouthful of bottled water.
Derrico Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Is anyone else getting atleast a little concerned he isn't signed yet? The guy was in Town immidiately after the draft because DR wanted to get his contact figured out. That was 3 weeks ago.....
shrader Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Sorry posted in the wrong thread. Here's a quick hit for you when you post something in the wrong place like that. Right next to the "edit" button that you hit to change your post there's one that says "delete". One or two steps later, the post magically disappears. Unless you're on a phone. Then I have no idea what you see.
TrueBlueGED Posted July 17, 2012 Report Posted July 17, 2012 Is anyone else getting atleast a little concerned he isn't signed yet? The guy was in Town immidiately after the draft because DR wanted to get his contact figured out. That was 3 weeks ago..... Not really. If he isn't signed by September 15th? Then I'll worry (and by worry, I mean freak out).

ROC Sabres Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Beat me to it punch. Good to hear though.

Eleven Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Grigorenko just signed a contract! Sabres posted it on twitter! They sure did. Here's a pic: https://twitter.com/BuffaloSabres/status/225579587755716608/photo/1
thesportsbuff Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 Fantastic. Did anybody think they weren't going to sign him?
sabres13 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I'm now happy with DR's offseason. Let's re-up Ennis and drop the puck!
sabres13 Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I knew Darcy was going to sign Oreo but I'm still unsure he will stay with Buffalo the whole year.
Claude_Verret Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I knew Darcy was going to sign Oreo but I'm still unsure he will stay with Buffalo the whole year. I think we need a poll, oreo is just brutal.
CallawaySabres Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I think we need a poll, oreo is just brutal. Absolutely brutal, I can't even stand reading it let alone saying it......
That Aud Smell Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I think we need a poll, oreo is just brutal. Absolutely brutal, I can't even stand reading it let alone saying it...... i trust that people who're using it are doing so ironically. because, yeah -- it's the worst/most forced sports nickname ever.
bunomatic Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I think we need a poll, oreo is just brutal. Agreed.
ROC Sabres Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I'm not sure it's a legit contract... Nice pommer.
darksabre Posted July 18, 2012 Report Posted July 18, 2012 I'm not sure it's a legit contract... :lol:
