At the conclusion of the season, I was hoping the Colorado Avalanche would make forward Mikhail Grigorenko a qualifying offer. He had had a mediocre year at best, and had even been scratched for eight games. However, he’s young yet, and I wanted the Avalanche to give him another chance.
In other words, he didn’t necessarily earn a qualifying offer, but I hoped he’d get one anyway.
Colorado made a qualifying offer. And rather than be grateful, Mikhail Grigorenko has elected to take the team to salary arbitration.
