CAREER INFO:
Drafted in the second round, 29th overall, by Quebec in the 1992 entry draft. Acquired from Chicago for Greg Johnson...played sparingly as the sixth or seventh defenseman while with the big club last season.

PLAYING STYLE:
Gronman has a lot to learn about the North American game...has good hands, and is able to get the puck out of the defensive zone quickly...is an adequate skater, he will not blow you away but will not be blown away either...his aggresiveness often makes himself out of position, sometimes causing him to get burned...may battle Butenschon for sixth or seventh defensman nest season.
