Goodbye to MAB

Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say
Goodbye to you

Looks like everyone's favourite French troll has finally been sent packing. He's headed to the best backup-goalie-managed squad in the NHL, and we're getting this guy in return, sort of:


Denis Grebeshov is expected to finish up the current season alongside Mikhnov and Ulanov in Russia with the Yaroslavl Lokomotiv, after which he will be an RFA. As Andy speculates, I hope this was just done to free up some $$ for Smytty's contract -- otherwise, we gave up one of our more experienced (albeit terrible) defensemen for very little in short-term returns. At least the Prez will be happy that we have another Russian.

So, ladies -- let's get to what's really important: Do you consider this acquisition an upgrade in terms of team hotness? I was never a fan of MAB's troll-hair or pointy features, but this guy's not really doing anything for me either. In terms of looks, I think I'd consider this a square deal.
