Anyway, Grigorenko is 2.33 PPG after 6 games and that's the number of games that has quite a few raving about Biggs, a previous year's draft pick doing 1.33 PPG, including 2 of 5 goals into empty nets.
Just want to keep it consistent.

Grigorenko is off to a flyer but he was great to start off last year too. Let's keep that in mind. He was criticized because scouts felt that he was invisible when the Remparts needed him the most.
His performance is going to be judged when he shows up when the Remparts need him in big games.
At this time last year, people thought Grigorenko will go top 3. By the end of the draft, 11 teams passed on him.
As far as Biggs and empty netters. I don't see why including that 2/5 goals are empty netters have to do with anything?
That just tells you that a coach trusts Biggs to close out a game and puts him out there in the last minute of play.
Milan Lucic had 5 empty netters in his 30 goal season. That's the highest since the 04-05 lockout.
