I can only imagine that means regi is out of cash. Grigne will not be good enough for them to do anything at worlds, and might be not good enough to even get there. And they all know that of course, so in knowing that in signing him anyway it sort of shows they just don't have the money to pay more expensive players. It is strange though because surely they could scrounge up what they need to get at least Amazing, but maybe bjergsen preferred grigne over him having played with both - despite how bad grigne has been.

Ultimately if they fail to make worlds again the brand will tank like crazy so I don't know what regi is thinking, he can't do half measures or take risks, he needs a lineup that is almost guaranteed to work - as much as one can be - so that they don't lose all their stars and sponsors next year.
