Grenier signed with the Iserlohn Roosters of the German Hockey League on Tuesday, TSN reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

The Flames released Grenier from a professional tryout agreement Monday, Pat Steinberg of Sportsnet 960 The Fan reports.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Grenier was invited to Flames training camp Wednesday on a professional tryout agreement.
EDGE Analysis
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 point 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.

Grenier was designated for waivers by the Panthers on Monday, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sportsreports.
EDGE Analysis
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 game-day roster for Vancouver on nine occasions over the past two seasons. The winger signed with Florida in the offseason, yet the result was much the same coming out of training camp as he will be reassigned to AHL Springfield if he clears waivers.

Grenier signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Panthers on Monday.
EDGE Analysis
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 former third-round pick 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 for the most part.

Grenier was reassigned to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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. Grenier is still getting acclimated to NHL life after hearing his named called by the Canucks in the third round (90th overall) of the 2011 draft. He's secured 16 goals and 24 helpers over 54 games with the AHL's Comets this season -- complementary to 130 points over three prior minor-league campaigns -- so he may blossom into an NHL regular next year.

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.
EDGE Analysis
Grenier was just recalled from AHL Utica on Friday, 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.

Grenier was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
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.

Grenier was recalled from AHL Utica on Friday, Jeff Paterson of TSN 1040 reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Canucks are going through something of a crisis coming off of their bye week, as five of their players are displaying symptoms of mumps, with Troy Stecher having the only confirmed diagnosis. 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.

The Canucks reassigned Grenier to AHL Utica on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
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 will likely be one of the first players Vancouver turns to when dealing with injuries up front going forward.
