grabo is a great hockey player, any team would be lucky to have him DEPENDING the cap
take a 1 year deal and prove you can still play. Was under utilized in toronto last year

So Eklund's saying that some elf is going to throw Grabovski off of Santa's slay with a parachute (unwrapped, mind you) and down towards some kid's chimney? About on par.

Ek, do you think Richard Park will make his NHL comeback this year?

Not only can Phoenix not afford Grabovski. They actually can't afford Grabovski

Phoenix has 11 forwards on their roster with Boedker still an RFA and only have 6.9 in capspace

The coyotes really going to spend right up to the cap?

Perhaps the Habs knew long ago when they let him go for a second rounder.

Honestly.. I like it. I think he'd be a great fit with the Phoenix squad. All the best to Arizona.

I was just thinking the exact same thing. I realize that the new owners may want to make a splash but are they really going to sign Grabovski and screw themselves over to not have enough for Boedker? I don't think so.

Exactly. Grabo hasn't signed yet because he's still holding out for the money he wants. From what I heard is hovering around 4 a year. Teams probably won't go over 2.5

If he wants to be accurate, then yes - this is how it will go down.

I don't understand what you're saying without a solid "E-rating"

The NHL roster and system in Phoenix is deep enough to trade an NHL player at this point. That would not only open up cap space, but you have to remember the 11 forwards listed. Klinkhammer and Yip may not even be on the NHL roster which save over a million dollars.

Sounds like a lot of jealous fans bashing a potentially dangerous Phoenix team. Oh how the times have changed!

Grabo @ $2-2.5 is a great deal, Grabo @ $4+ is not. Although, I do believe that he can make $5+ in the KHL and may just go that route for at least one season.
