Grabovski Bought Out

[cw]

So any guesses as to where Grabovski ends up signing?

Calgary...

Detroit, Boston.

I doubt Boston with Bergeron, Krejci, Kelly & Campbell as centers. Seguin & Peverley, natural centers, played right wing for the Bruins because of those guys.

I think Busta is on to something with Nashville as a possibility. Canucks could use him if he comes at a decent price and maybe use Kesler for checking.

At a glance, Calgary, Florida, Minnesota, New Jersey, Phoenix, Washington & Winnipeg all might have a need for a 2nd line center. (and there's probably some I missed).

Well, maybe not Boston. But I'd guess he'll want to sign in a hockey market. He does have heart and, as far as I know, doesn't like golf -- so, Florida and Phoenix seem unlikely.

Friedman on FAN 590 "you heard it behind the scenes and you know it was bad" RE: the relationship between Carlyle and Grabovski.

So Carlyle didn't like him because he couldn't speak English? What does this have to do with giving him away for nothing?

Friedman on FAN 590 "you heard it behind the scenes and you know it was bad" RE: the relationship between Carlyle and Grabovski.

During the last 14 games of the regular season, he exceeded 14 mins in a game twice (16 mins) and was as low as 10 mins.

Compared with 2010-11 under Wilson, under Carlyle in 2013, he got 4 mins less overall ice time per game and 1:15 less PP ice time per game. Obviously, Randy wasn't too high on him.

That would make sense as to why the Leafs went this route, but still confident Nonis has a decent plan.

Mikhail Grabovski to Pressball.by: ?It?s very sad to leave #TML fans, probably the best fans in the world. I wish them to win SC without me?

Loved the guy's heart.

Classy!  I wish him the best!

Would love to know if this is Carlyle being a dick.

True.  I wish he could stay as I don't think one crap year should end his time with the Leafs.  I expect tomorrow we will find out what Nonis has done and I can't see it been anything but exciting.

Takes two to fight. Randy probably bears some responsibility.

We have the worst coach/GM duo in the league.

No that was the Rangers?

Just got off the phone with Grabovski: "Of course I feel [expletive] sad, I played [expletive] five years here."

I think that's premature. Or, maybe you're just being sarcastic.

Grabovski had some pretty blistering remarks toward Leafs coach Randy Carlyle. Called him a "stupid coach" among other things.

Oh, no sarcasm from me this time. I genuinely feel they are at least one of the worst coach/GM duos in the league. I pray I'm wrong about this, but right now I'm really upset that Connor McDavid wasn't born a year earlier.

CLear message sent today - buy into what Carlyle is selling or you're gone.
