I really liked Grigorenko in his draft year, but it seems he has never taken a step forward in his development. Whether that is because his skill-set was not translatable to the NHL to begin with, that he has poor attitude issues, or that perhaps Buffalo rushed him and possibly stifled his development - I am not sure.
For 'free', sure, let's see if there is something there. I wouldn't bet on it, and I would hate for the organization to spend assets finding out.
