Alexandre Grenier: Signs overseas
Grenier signed with the Iserlohn Roosters of the German Hockey League on Tuesday, TSN reports.
Grenier couldn't make the cut on a professional tryout agreement with the Flames this preseason, so he'll try his luck overseas. The Quebec native wasn't anything special in the minors last year with 27 points in 68 games for AHL Laval. He'll fine-tune his game with expected top-line minutes, and Grenier may try his hand in the NHL again next year.

Alexandre Grenier: Let go from PTO
The Flames released Grenier from a professional tryout agreement Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
Grenier has nine career NHL games under his belt, and he hasn't suited up for a big club since the 2016-17 season. He'll likely land with a minor-league squad after recording 27 points in 68 games for AHL Laval last year.

Flames' Alexandre Grenier: Lands tryout agreement
Grenier was invited to Flames training camp Wednesday on a professional tryout agreement.
Considering Grenier hasn't appeared in an NHL game since his three outings with Vancouver in 2016-17, he likely has the longest odds of the Flames' training camp invitees; Devante Smith-Pelly, Tobias Rieder and Zac Rinaldo being the other three. Last year was a down season for Grenier, as he managed just 27 points in 68 contests for AHL Laval after having notched 40-plus points in his four previous AHL campaigns. While a one-way deal may be off the table, the winger could be hoping for at least a two-way contract, instead of having to play under a minor-league only deal.

Panthers' Alexandre Grenier: On waiver wire
Grenier was designated for waivers by the Panthers on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.
Grenier impressed with AHL Utica in 2016-17 as he logged 17 goals and 28 assists in 69 outings, but was only able to crack the lineup for Vancouver on nine occasions over the past two seasons. He'll head to AHL Springfield if he clears waivers.

Panthers' Alexandre Grenier: Signs one-year contract with Panthers
Grenier signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Monday.
Grenier saw action in just three games with Vancouver last season, as he spent the majority of his time with AHL Utica. The 25-year-old will now take his talents to Florida, but likely won't be a significant contributor with the Panthers and could again see more development with the team's AHL affiliate, which should keep him off the fantasy radar.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Returns to minors
Grenier was reassigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Grenier was inserted on the top like with Daniel and Henrik Sedin for Saturday's game against the Penguins, but that plum assignment didn't last long, as he only ended up with 6:17 of ice time. More than five years after hearing his named called by the Canucks in the third round (90th overall) of the 2011 draft, Grenier is still getting acclimated to NHL life, having only seen nine games of action at hockey's highest level. He's secured 16 goals and 24 helpers over 54 games with the AHL's Comets this season -- complementing 130 points over three prior minor-league campaigns -- so he may blossom into an NHL regular next year.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Set to skate with twins Saturday
Grenier will slide up to the top scoring line with Daniel and Henrik Sedin for Saturday's game against the Penguins, Blake Price of TSN 1040 reports.
Grenier was just recalled from AHL Utica on Friday, and now he is featuring as a top-six forward. Not a bad weekend for the youngster. He has a chance to be a nice low-priced sleeper in DFS play with the golden opportunity to skate on the top line.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Recalled Friday
Grenier was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday.
The winger only has two games under his belt in the NHL this year, but his AHL numbers -- 40 points in 54 games -- show that he's a capable scorer. Whether that translates to the NHL is a different story, but it's a possibility.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Recalled from minors Friday
Grenier was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.
The Canucks are going through something of a crisis coming off their bye week, as five of their players are displaying symptoms of mumps. As a result, Grenier could get an immediate opportunity to play, albeit likely in a bottom-six role. The 25-year-old has put up 15 goals and 23 assists in 51 games with Utica this season.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Demoted to minors
The Canucks reassigned Grenier to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Grenier's demotion indicates Sven Baertschi (foot) is likely nearing a return to the Canucks' lineup. The 25-year-old winger has tallied 14 points (six goals, eight assists) in 16 games with AHL Utica this season, and he'll likely be one of the first players Vancouver turns to when dealing with injuries up front.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Called up Friday
Grenier was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday.
Grenier is Utica's points leader at 14 (six goals, eight assists) so he could pack an offensive punch in his next NHL game. The Canucks have several forwards dealing with injuries, so he could be on the ice as soon as Friday night against the Stars.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Assigned to AHL Utica on Sunday
Grenier was assigned to Vancouver's AHL affiliate Utica on Sunday, TSN reports.
After only playing six games in the NHL last season and not earning a point, Grenier seemed like a limited fantasy prospect this year. By starting the season in the minors, it seems like his fantasy value is even lower than before.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Inks extension with Vancouver
Grenier finalized a one-year, two-way contract extension with the Canucks on Tuesday.
Grenier is still searching for the first NHL point after appearing in a mere six contests last season. The 24-year-old has been significantly more productive in the minors where he registered 16 goals and 32 helpers in 69 outings. It is unlikely the winger will make a huge jump in ice time this upcoming season, so fantasy owners can mostly ignore his contract extension.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Demoted to minors Friday
Grenier was reassigned to AHL Utica on Friday.
With Derek Dorsett (undisclosed) now healthy and back in the lineup Friday against the Blues, the Canucks are no longer in need of Grenier's services as a depth forward. The 24-year-old winger registered five shots on goal and four hits in five games during his brief stint with the big club.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Recalled, will play
Grenier was summoned by the Canucks on Monday and will draw into the evening's lineup against the Jets.
Grenier made his NHL debut with the Canucks earlier in the campaign, and he put four shots on goal in his one opportunity with the parent organization. It's possible he will slot into a top-six role temporarily with the news that Alex Burrows (undisclosed) will miss Monday's contest, but he probably won't see enough ice time to be worth consideration in season-long formats. However, he could be a sneaky play in daily formats if available for use.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Reassigned to AHL Utica
Grenier was reassigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
Grenier was recalled Monday so that he would be available for Wednesday's matchup with Carolina if Brandon Prust (leg) was unable to play. Prust is now fully expected to suit up for Wednesday's tilt against the Hurricanes, so the Canucks are no longer in need of Grenier as a source of insurance. The 24-year-old winger has played in one game with Vancouver this season, logging four shots on goal in that contest.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Recalled Monday
Grenier was recalled from AHL Utica on Monday.
This will be Grenier's second NHL recall, and it comes on the heels of Brandon Prust's lower-body injury. Grenier is a big-bodied winger who will likely slot into a bottom-six role if Prust is unable to go on Monday.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Sent back to AHL Utica
Grenier was assigned to AHL Utica following Wednesday's game, Canucks play-by-play announcer Jon Abbott reports.
Grenier made his NHL debut Wednesday, but his first stint was brief, as was removed from the roster to open a spot for the impending return of Brandon Prust. Grenier figures to return to Vancouver at some point later this season.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Will debut Wednesday
Grenier will make his NHL debut against the Jets, The Province reports.
Grenier was recalled Wednesday, and with Radim Vrbata ruled out for the contest, he's expected to slot right into the lineup on the second line alongside Chris Higgins and Jared McCann. The 24-year-old has tallied seven points through 13 games with AHL Utica so far, and will look to have a quick start with the Canucks and notch his first career NHL point Wednesday against a Jets club allowing the fourth-most (3.21) goals per game this season.

Canucks' Alexandre Grenier: Called up from AHL Utica
Grenier was called up from AHL Utica on Wednesday, Brad Ziemer of the Vancouver Sun reports.
In 13 games in the AHL, Grenier has two goals and seven points with 14 penalty minutes and a minus-3 rating. The 2011 third-round pick has been a strong point producer in the AHL and had a tremendous AHL playoffs last season, scoring 15 points in 23 games. He replaces Hunter Shinkaruk, who was sent back down to the AHL to keep him playing regular minutes.
