Who cares? Its done and over with, Buff fans are happy with Grigs @ 12, leaf fans are happy with Rielly at 5. Guaranteeing the Leafs would trade Rielly for Grigorenko in a "flash" is absurd.

Maybe. I doubt it would be as massive as Rielly dropping to 12 and/or Grigorenko rising to 5.

Still kind of confused why this is relevant.

I know, and I never doubted that.

GMs and Scouts dont put as much stock into one tournament as HF does. Its about how they will pan out over their careers, not how well they perform in a tournament not even a year after they were drafted.

Stil voted for Grirgs though.

I don't understand why topics like these are made... they were just drafted in July.. the season starts today... nothing has really changed. Grigorenko dropped for reasons other than his skill, Rielly has looked very good in junior... it is what it is right now.
