Thread: Second Try
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Elwood</b></div><div>That's a fair view. I'd counter that Grz isn't a 6 dman, he's a solid 4 with potential to be a 3. As for Ghost, I'm interested in your view of him going forward, because the stats and the contract are inching towards cap dump territory... I just think he needs to be in a better set up for him to be valuable....</div></div>

This season was poor, but that he started the year with a knee injury and looked a step slow (which is a killer for a guy like him). He had a second procedure during the pause and he regained his explosiveness and lateral movement. I was blown away that AV wouldnt put him into the lineup despite looking dynamic every opportunity he got (in camp, the round robin, and limited playoff games). That is more a knock on the coaching staff than the player though. We were insistent on icing Nate Thompson despite terrible results while we benched players like Laughton (who skated at 1C a few games later) and JVR (forcing us to use Derek Grant on the PP), so there is plenty of evidence of questionable decisions to go around.
I believe that he will return to form next year. My ideal would have him skating with Myers in the top 4 or with Niskanen. It would not surprise me if he is moved, but he's the type of player that if he reaches half of his best, he's worth 4.5mil.

...And yes, i know other can't stand him but all offensive dmen are divisive.
