Grabovski has Not Disappointed

The question is, if he makes the team who is he replacing? He has to play at least top-9, but he should really play top-6. I see him between Kovalev and Samsanov with Ribs being shipped off if Grabovsky proves he belongs.

If only.... Just kidding, the season hasn't started yet. Have to wait and see, maybe Ribs will become the center everyone is hoping for.

I've checked a few places and it always shows Grabovski as a winger. I think it would be great if he could play centre, but does anyone know if he has ever played in the middle???

Garbovski is indeed a winger. Here is hoping that Grabovski can Grab some goalskis

I hear a lot of talk lately about a move to center for Kovalev. I don't know how this would work for that line, but I would think that he would be better off staying on the wing.

Then again, look what a move to center did for Damphousse.

I think it might be worth tryin'

What's the worst that could happen?

I thought he played center, because they talked about him centering the Kostitsin's eventually in another article. If he does play centre, I can see Pleks or Grabs moving to the wing (if he makes the team). If everything goes good, and he's ready for top six duty, maybe then a trade of Ribiero in the second half of the season would be in order. (I know a few people wouldn't mind, except maybe for Rejean Tremblay and the clowns on 110%).

It may work. Still frustrates the hell out of me that on the eve of the season we are talking about experiments at Center. Is there no one available in the whole league that actually has played Center since their Pee Wee Days?!??

Grabovski has been playing centre during the rookie tournament, and I also believe that he played centre in the World Championships, though I can't find confirmation on that anywhere. I think he was drafted as a winger because that is where he was playing with his club at the time, but he is a natural centre.

He occasionally played center when he was playing at Dynamo Moskva, I saw 2 games that he played 2nd line center when they had some injury problems. Only problem was that his wingers wasn´t speedy enough for him, so he did most of the work by him self. If I remember right he did 3 points at those 2 games(2+1 or 1+2).
