Grigorenko was assigned to AHL Rochester on Monday.

Analysis:

Grigorenko finishes his third stint with the Sabres with six points in 25 games. Over the past three seasons, Grigorenko has appeared in just 68 NHL games and scored only 14 points, but due to eligibility rules, he'll become a restricted free agent this summer at just 20 years old. The Sabres are looking to add Connor McDavid or Jack Eichel in the draft and already have Sam Reinhart in the mix, which casts some doubt about Grigorenko's future with the club. He's got tremendous upside, but hasn't exactly seen eye to eye with the organization at times, though a strong finish with Rochester should pump up his stock a little. It's unlikely the Sabres will relinquish his rights when he still possesses so much potential, but nothing's for certain until Grigorenko puts pen to paper. The former 12th overall pick has 33 points in 40 games with Rochester this season.
