Prospect Info: #129 Arseny Gritsyuk RW

[My3Sons]

Probably which annoys me even more. With the Swiss connects we probably would’ve been able to keep him around at a more reasonable contract had he been here already.

I had no idea he was Swiss. Maybe the team gets lucky and he wants to play with Nico, Timo, or Siegs.

I think we will see how it goes it depends how FItz will figure it out. Reason its hard to understand where we should try to use Grits. Imagine(crazy but still) the trade of Hamilton, Nemec/Casey and 1st round pick for Petterson the Center(just imagine, lets not discuss it) - Devils will have salary cap, winger to create three lines or load two lines as hard as they can. If Devils will add center - its one story, if its winger - its different story.

Yeah, Keefe mostly never had good depth. And we can see that now we can live without Hamilton - its a loss for offense but still we have defensemen to develop and play but we dont have forwards. Its better to make a move in time when we have an opportunity to make a move. May be Hamiltons actual injury will not help with it. Its only two years on a Palats deal so I dont see really big problem to move him, especially with some minor retention. Perry signed for 4 mil in Chicago and from what I hear Palat is a family guy so Bedards mom should be in safe. Overall Palat wasnt very healthy man so... his salary isnt close to penalty minimum, may be we can have him over the cap and than send him to ltir list. We saw how gms move players every time they need. So i guess Fitz will find a way to open the cap space.

What I dont like is the situation where there will be A LOT MORE free money on the market than good players. So Im really happy that Gritsyuk is so close to join the Devils. Because its not that easy to find good player on the market when the market is full of buyers.

The issue with moving Palat is his protection is a 10 team trade. If his trade list is a bunch of good teams then I don’t see why anyone makes the move for him. If it was a 10 team no trade it’d really be no issue. If LTIRetirement’s on the table then fine by me lol

Came to see if Fitz got Gritz, but I feel like I took a wrong turn somewhere.

Dynamo up 3-1 In series

would be unbelievable to get arseni like...next week

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Keep in mind that just because his season ends, doesn't mean they will let him out of the contract early

I believe KHL contracts run through May

I reckon both camps would pursue to terminate that contract

If he took a big pay cut so they could sign free agents and then they don’t let him out early…that would be pretty jerky of them.

 

[Cheddabombs]

Let's go Dynamo!!

Gritsyuk already said he was leaving SKA before next year anyway. If the Devils can get him before the playoffs, they'd 100% do it.

BTW, Nikishin will probably travel and get games in the playoffs for Carolina too if Gritsyuk is allowed to do the same. Would be a cool dynamic in that series that teammates play in a playoff series that quickly lol

Yeah. Im sure thats probably very rare. I cant think of an instance off of the top of my head.

Decent chance it happens in both Metro series. Rangers grab WC2 and there's also Leonard/Perreault.

In a similar vein, guys who go play in the world championships and play their teammates; depending on how much you care about that tournament.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Fitz said he wants him over as soon as he can at the deadline

 

[None Shall Pass]

Yeah dude took a biiiiig paycut to help the team for his last season there; there has to be a mutual agreement to terminate the contract early if they're eliminated in time to help us.
