I dont blame babcock for announcing that grigs doesn't have a spot in the lineup yet. The guy hasn't even skated with the big boys yet, and when he did today in training camp, he didn't show much. I dont think you can put a gage on someones potential until they've shown they can play in North America (AHL, NHL etc). Thats pretty much the reason why i think grigs will get a shot out of training camp. If he doesn't make the squad, hes not going to GR, hes heading back to russia. I'd like to see him get a few games in at the beginning of the year, and see how he can adapt (possibly playing along side Dats).
