I wonder if Grimaldi will ever be able to stick in the NHL.

If not I am sure he will be back to telling women to cover up in no time.

Remember when Gaudreau was the poor man's Grimaldi?

Berra gets traded for another 2nd round pick (albeit Grimaldi was drafted 5 years ago)

I think it's cool that Berra is still sticking around. Good for him.

in any case, that sounds better than "gets traded for a 5'6 guy with 4 career NHL goals".

I have an irrational and unjustifiable dislike for Grimaldi, so I'm happy to see him off to Colorado

Could mean end of the Varlamov trade talk - or means they want a more experienced back up than Reto Berra if they are handing the reigns to Pickard

I know nothing about Rocco Grimaldi other than the fact that his name sounds like he should be a communist or a porn star.

Not necessarily.

This could mean that Colorado is going with Pickard but wants a more experienced goalie to back him up.

I think he sounds more like a mafia enforcer.

So much for Roy and Allaire thinking Berra was going to be a superstar. I guess with Pickard as the heir apparent there was no room to keep him on...
