Regardless, the potential of Gritsyuk getting in any playoff games this year was minimal.

I think on the old KHL schedule it would’ve been possible but yeah not with this

 

[DumbManHockey]

All of the goals here this season seem to be entirely finishing off the rush. His biggest value to the team could be a pass finisher. Just position well and get open; there's enough playmakers on this squad right now.

I, for one, think he's gonna be something (with the right supporting cast. )

 

[Devils731]

We basically knew the KHL change of schedule precluded Grits from contributing this season. So status quo there.

I also think the Devils will have to sign and burn his ELC to get him here so next year he will be on a real contract of some sort.

There’s definitely not enough playmaking on this team. Sure the top 6 is talented but the bottom 6 is one of the worst in the league. There’s no one who can create anything. I don’t think Gritsyuk needs to be a top 6 guy. Like sure he could go there but I also think upgrading on Palat in the top 6 and having a 3rd line of Gritsyuk-insert good 3C-Mercer looks like a great 3rd line.

I agree with most of what what you're saying. Mind you, I'm only seeing highlight clips, but I'm not seeing grinding play making in his game. I'm seeing pure competence in motion, and I think it may be top 6 or bust/

Gritsyuk adjacent news.

The Russians are a pain in the balls.

I think Hedman is Swedish

I think Hedman is Swedish

He's just a pain in Nico's balls.

Russians are a pain in the balls in a more general sense.

 

[Hisch13r]

Picked up a nice assist so far in the 1st

 

[devilsblood]

After that mini slump he is back on his horse.

I saw 5 goals(and maybe 3 assists) in his last 10 games tue last time I checked.

Another assist for Gritsyuk on a Nikishin goal as he completes the hat trick. SKA ties the game at 4 with 3 and a half minutes left
