GARTH: Gragnani To The Canes

HOLY poop NO (frank)ING WAY

Huge Move!

I'm actually surprised that Vancouver just let him go.

I'm just as surprised that more teams didn't jump at this kid sooner.

Nice signing by the 'Canes.

oh yeah we def won the deal.

Buffalo should have reacquired Grags. That would have been a serious kick in the balls!

oh yeah we def won the deal.

I can't believe Roy had shoulder surgery today and will be out till november.
Soooo how does that trade look now

oh yeah we def won the deal.

Please tell me YOU'RE kidding!

I had to no idea that Vancouver was SO deep on D that they can just let decent prospects walk.

now that would be funny.

when does he change the title to the roy news ?

somebody posted later in the previous blog how girgensons is busting his a$$ out there and looks like he REALLY wants to make the team


saw the proposal of a line could be : ott grigor girgensons



is there any chance whatsoever that both of these two kids make the big club this year? i say with all the forwards that we have there is just no way




but dont get me wrong, i would absolutely love to see it ha

Look, Grags could not, and would not play defense.

You knew it, we knew it, the Hurricans will know soon enough.
Sure he can learn and get better but the guy is built like a twig and will never, ever have a physical element, alot like the Hoff.

In that respect the trade does indeed seem to factor out in ur favor but the jury is still out on Coho and Kassian.

Give it another two or three years before you full out rule in one teams favor.

He's 25, which waters down his prospect status a bit.

"Couver"

He would be waiver eligible and I believe re-entry waiver eligible as well so there's really no point. We already have Edler, Bieksa, Hamhuis, Garrison, Ballard, Alberts, Tanev on the team. He didn't show much in his few games here and I was never a fan of him in the first place. He's a risk d-man and I didn't see much reward or offensive production.

Who knows, maybe he'll turn things around in Carolina. Could be a good 6/7 d-man PP specialist type.

Agreed. Except Ehrhoff can actually put up the points and is a highly skilled d-man. He's also improve his defensive game since his SJ days.

we have like 6 d-men that are better than him at younger ages

We should have gotten him back... we have absolutley NO D-MEN in this organization
