Grigorenko happy to officially be a Buffalo Sabre

Since day one Mikhail Grigorenko’s main goal was to make the NHL this year. On Wednesday, he became one step closer to achieving his goal. It took just under a month to get it done, but Mikhail Grigorenko is officially a Buffalo Sabre.   And now that the contract is signed, Grigorenko is happy to be where he’s at. “I’m so happy to finally sign a contract. Now i really can feel that i’m 100% part of the organization,” said Grigorenko. Grigorenko was Buffalo’s first of two first round draft choices in this past June’s NHL Draft, however he was the second one to sign after Zemgus Girgensons agreed to a contract last Friday. “I was so excited yesterday because, first, I was excited when they draft me, but then it was the next step to sign a contract, now I’m signed,” he said. “Next step is to make the team and play NHL.” The highest drafted forward by Buffalo since the team took Thomas Vanek fifth overall in 2005, Grigorenko was viewed as one of the most prolific scorers and playmakers
