I bet he's faking, just like did with his back.
He likely asked for a trade.

Stick to your Grigerenko "niche" leave the other topics for Kevin Freiheit

You seriously think he was faking with his back injury?


Here's an idea, maybe your team doctors should have diagnosed it correctly. Then it wouldn't have hampered him for so long.

I think Cody blames everyone but himself. His dad does the same.
He knows exactly what to say in front of the camera, but it's a totally different scene behind the camera.

So how exactly was he faking? How was it that Gary Roberts' training staff had to figure out what the problem was?

Let's just leave the poor kid alone. Let his on ice play dictate whether or not he's a good hockey player and not all the stuff from behind the scenes since none of us actually know exactly what goes on there anyway.

How much longer are the Bills going to keep the REDNECKS that are running this team? Sad, very sad.

Till Ralph is gone and the team has new owners , I am afraid.

Team will not be moved till Toronto has a new Stadium . Rogers Centre is good for a game a year . But capacity is below NFL minimum ( 60,000 ) to be a permanent home

Poor kid? He asked to be traded from a Stanley cup calibre team, 14 times.
Kid has issues, I'm sure he will ask to be traded from Buffalo within 2 years.

Were you there to count the exact # of times , Or is this second hand here say . Maybe he just hated how it rains all the time in Vancouver. Maybe the nasty fans that riot and trash the city with no regard for any law and order made him decide it was not a great place to live.
Again LET IT GO !!! He is no longer your problem . Time will tell if he is Buffalo's problem . But till now he has done and said all the right things. He is 22 years old ! I suppose you were totally together at 22 and never made a mistake .

Maybe the fact that Vancouver got pissed that he went and got a second opinion about his back because it wasn't getting any better made him not want to play for them. I know when it comes to my health, I'm going to do what's best for me. To hell with what someone else might be telling me.

He knew that there was no space for him in that lineup. With Sedin and Kesler ahead of him on the depth chart for center, he was pushed to the 3rd line. That's not where he should be. For the sake of his career, it was best that he be traded anyway.

Have fun with Kassian. He's a real character guy. I'd rather have a guy that wants to be traded so he can have a real shot than a guy that goes around beating up people in bars.

And being on the Jersey shore you have direct knowledge of the behind the scenes dealings of a Hockey team 3500 miles away how?

Why waste time on the trolls?

Glad that 11 game tryout for Vanek will leave him with a "Lifetime" of memories.
