Grabo is all flash no substance, and only on offense. All he did was try to split the D and on the not so rare occasions when he failed he was like a snail getting back. He's one of those accursed players who can wow fans and put up a decent amount of points but without actually contributing to his team's success. Not disappointed at all to see him go.
Taking advantage of an Old Senile man like Fletch, who was brought in to facilitate a rebuilding program, has traded away two high 2nd rd picks and two high 3rd rd picks, now has traded for another Slugobov or another Eastern European Head Case. Draft Smaft is alive and well in T.O. as it has for the last 40 years.
We apologize. But we might do it again.
How about a brand new Dandenault. Never used during winter times, not damaged, plays with fire in his eyes...for a soft euro like ... Anton Stralman ???

what is gainey smoking??? He pretty much got nothing for grabovski who has unlimited potential and will excel in toronto
Why are some Hab fans so anally retentive about holding on to more prospects than the team can possibly find room for? Doesn't everyone recall the angry protest over the Balej trade? How about the lamenting over Ferland, Cote, and others?

I do not know what Cliff is doing...I guess he's making us tougher and bigger. The Schenn move was solid tho, i look foward to him crushing your fowards. What someone said before is right, our 2nd round draft picks are going to become late firsts...
Anyways, can leaf fans expect anything decent out of Grabovski. Also, where is he from?
And Komisarek, Hamrlik, O'byrne, Valentenko, Emelin, Paquet and co. will do the same to yours
I think it will only be worth it if we get Sundin in the end, and the probability of him deciding to come here, especially with the offer Vancouver gave him, is 0.01%.
You believe the rumour that the Canucks are offering Sundin $10M per? I don't. Moreover, even if it's true Sundin may not accept it. He hasn't jumped so far, and that's a lot of money.
you know the board is in dire need of some action when a suspect gets 240 posts...
It's because the fans are too emotionally involved with the Habs prospects. From the size of this thread you'd think Grabovski was Ryder or Streit or even Ribeiro.
Born in East Germany but moved to Belarus and now plays for Belarus internationally.
That makes it sound as if he was actually German.
I highly doubt that.
I assume that his father was a member of the Soviet army and was stationed in Germany when little Mikail was born.
After a few years of service in Germany the family moved back.
Not a fact I know for sure, but the most likely scenario.
Looks like every body had the Deal wrong, it looks like the Leafs had to give the Habs compensation for them not signing Sundin. Fletcher is from Montreal after all so it's no Surprise he is a Canadiens fan. It's obvious Sam Pollock signed him to a Life Time contract.

Well people from all fields where send to Germany for many reasons, research, studies, states management... and military too.
If the team was still it's bad years Grabs would have been on the team for more then a year so far. He's not bad. Just at the wrong place at the wrong time.

I was talking to my brother and told him that Grabs may become a 'good bad team' player. They need guys to buy time right now.
I updated my site with a profile of Pateryn, haven't seen him play yet (missed the USHL All Star game this year) but I had some info on USHL prospects from someone that follows the league much closer then I do so I tried to put some things together.
Also did a small article on him joining the organization. other sections like depth chart, prospect location, contract info have all been updated and links to stats for every prospect. I am also working on a fourm to cover prospect stuff that doesn't make it into articles and I wanted a place for Hamilton fans to discuss the team after losing their message board at the bulldogs site.

Well I'm sure you'll get to see some games of him when you watch Michigan. What will Michigan's defense corps look like next year? Do you think he will get some decent minutes?
