One of the underrated moves by Steve Tambellini this summer was the one-year deal for Denis Grebeshkov. He took a big step forward and the former GM would probably have paid in full at that time. Tambellini no doubt sees a need to offload someone this year before signing the Russian to a longer term deal at big money.It gives the organization a chance to have another year of viewing and to clear space at a less rapid pace (like they have any choice).Grebeshkov had a very good season and if he does it again he's going to get paid. The number one reasons Sheldon Souray or Lubomir Visnovsky will be traded in the next 12 months is #37. He's 25, has a wide range of skills and looks for all the world to have arrived as an NHL player. One of Kevin Lowe's better deals.Boxcars: 72gp, 7-32-39 38pimsShots: 62Plus Minus: +12 (best on team)Corsi: +2.6 (2nd best behind Lubo)5x5/60: 1.23 (close 2nd to Gilbert)5x4/60: 3.75 (close 2nd to Gilbert)GF/GA ON: 61-45 (best diff. on team)Qualit...
