  I'm with Timo on this one... Moen is total deadwood out there. When we signed him, he was supposed to be a gritty, punishing hitter who dropped them when he had to and chipped in a few goals by driving the net...as soon as the give him a contract, he's a perimeter player who refuses to get involve physically in the game.

  A month ago I'd have been with you on Grigorenko, but after reading the following on the TSN Draft Center page from Feb 23/12, I'm not so sure about him anymore: "Mikhail Grigorenko: There had been whispers over the past month that all may not be wonderful when it comes to the scouting world's perception of Grigorenko's competitiveness, but the whispers have grown into full-blown skepticism in some circles. "He could fall right off the map," said one scout who asserted that his club won't be considering him in the first round. "He doesn't want to compete. If he's there at 25 and we are picking, we go by him." His concerns were echoed by another eastern conference scout who insisted his team will not select the talented Russian no matter where they end up in the standings. "He's a dog. Take a look at what games Grigorenko gets his points. He gets a handful the other night against PEI. none at Moncton, and one assist (in the nationally televised game) in Saint John. A couple of weeks ago in Rimouski he's minus 6. He scares the (crap) out of me." While there's no denying his skill level, and his 73 points in 39 games as a QMJHL rookie are a testament to his offensive abilities, there will be a lot of teams watching him closely in the playoffs to see whether he has the competitive streak scouts like to see in their top five prospects. As of right now a number of teams have several players ranked ahead of him, and that trend will continue if he does not learn to compete at a higher level." XXIV...and counting

  I disagree, he was much more involved physically this season, he was a perimeter player in his first two seasons. Anyway, that is the impression I got...I'd still like to see him moved if we can get a decent prospect or pick. XXIV...and counting
