i think grabo would still be 2nd line center in washington to start, backstrom ovi and johansson id imagine would be the first line with grabo on the second line with erat and brouwer

which would be the best 2 wingers he's had since joining the NHL if u ask me.

backstrom always gets hurt tho! sucha puss cake.

that would depend on a lot of other things

bozak + kessel doesnt equal the playoffs either

the playoffs are a team effort.. it just scares me to think about what oates could do with that little pairing of offensive guys.

Much like Kessel I don't see how he works with Ovechkin either. When you think of Grabovski you think shooter first.

yes, but if you have watched ovie the last couple years he's refined his game and become more complete.

Come at me bro

kind of like Kessel
- bobbyisno1

yup... many of these guys are still too young to pigeon hole them into one type of player

they're pro athletes, they can adjust.. especially the top tier ones

Two players that won't pass the puck to each other? It might work, but if Ribeiro and Ovechkin couldn't get them out of the first round, I can't see Grabovski being the missing link.

agree strongly with this

i don't think it would be too bad an idea for the Leafs to get some picks for him. don't forget that you traded 2 seconds and 2 fourths this summer. i know that no single one of those picks were likely to be huge, but still, 4 picks...that can out a dent in your pipeline a year or two down the road.

I suppose it would be possible to look this up, but what are combined odds of two late second rounders and two fourth rounders becoming anything?

Of the four players we'd draft there, maybe one might do something. And by "something" I mean anything above a marginal 3rd/4th liner.

I may be wrong, but I don't think Colton Orr ever had 2 x 60+ pts seasons and 30 goals.

grabovski: 94 goals and 123 assists

I debated posting a you tube video of grabovski's passes, but if other posters already believe that Grabo can't pass the puck and choose to forget all those highlights over 4 years of some pretty passing from Grabo, why bother.

Nitpicking...but I'd like to see Orr work on throwing lefts this offseasn
