Promising news for Brian McGrattan fans everywhere...

Not really unfortunately. Lisin is still with the team and he'll likely continue to play instead of McGrattan.

i dislike gretzky. i was at the flyer vs coyotes game and i couldn't believe that he scratched both murray and mcgrattan. i guess he didn't appreciate the protection he got when he was a player

hopefully Mac G gets more games in because of this, and no Lisin either, so the next team there playin better watch out,
