Uh, I really don't know what to make of this comment about Grier during his presser today:
Quote:
The forward noted that he will be active in recruiting free agents from around the league to come to Buffalo once the free agency period begins. Current team mate and former friend in San Jose Craig Rivet was helpful in bringing Grier back to Buffalo last off-season, he added.


On one hand, people are going to blow it out of proportion and the ZOMG MARLEAU TO TEH SABRES!!1! comments could erupt, but on the other hand, I dunno. I just dunno.

(Here's WGR's review of the presser.)

That's my initial take on it, but it's hard not to think about this with a wild imagination.

That's weird... I never thought players had any say in the managements decisions.

I doubt he does, but if management says "Ohai let's sign this guy", my guess is Grier would get on the horn and talk the good talk about Buffalo.

Given the perception of our city it seems like it might not be a bad idea to have someone do that permanently.

This is a great idea, because Grier is one of those well established players in the NHL that can do something like this.

Remember, it was Grier that made players shun Buffalo. Hopefully he can rectify this and bring some good players here.

Very true. Here's hoping.

I see Grier as a guy who is getting to the end of his career, sees a potential Cup winner in Buffalo and is going to do as much as he can to get the right people here to fill the holes to make it happen. Not saying he can make mountains move but any help is welcome I imagine.
