Buff-Winn

[mbravet (Wpg)]

Winnipeg and Buffalo have finally come to terms

Winnipeg send Mikhail Grigorenko+17th overall pick (Phil)+2nd Rd 33rd overall (Tor) to Buffalo
Buffalo sends Brett Ritchie+10th overall pick+19th overall (NJ) to Winnipeg

Winnipeg picks up a big player in Ritchie that fits the Dallas mold and 2 picks. This Draft is not deep so I am hoping I can get a decent player at 10 maybe hit the lotto with 19. Giving up 17th and 33rd with Grigorenko was tough to do but at least gives me a little more certainty, I hope in a player to help with the rebuild. I just didn't want to gamble with grigorenko. Hope it works for us both. Buffalo to confirm.

Taking a gamble on Grigs, but it could be a huge reward. Ritchie isn't certain to fit into the top 6 in the next year, maybe two years away, who knows. The picks are acceptable to me....my 10th drops to a 17th (not a huge gap), and my 19th drops to 33.

As one fellow GM said, 'go big or go home' lol
