1 dollar is 86 rubles. 60 million is much more than 160k

Looks like it's about $700k.

Gritsyuk renegotiated his contract and took a massive paycut this season

Gritsyuk was set to earn 60 million rubles next season. However, after terminating his contract to take less money, he then signed a one-year deal for 12 million rubles, per MatchTV. That’s an over $500K US sacrifice.

Because of the pay cut, SKA should really be doing whatever Grits is asking. He effectively already bought his contract out through the pay cut.

yeah, there were some manipulations but i'm pretty sure in the end gritsyuk got all his money and then some. it's Russia, after all.

 

[FooteBahl]

I still think he comes. Dude said goodbye to SKA on Instagram this morning... over a month and a half before his contract expires.

Keep posting. I’m almost there

It's not quite the days of the old Soviet Union, but it wasn't supposed to even approach that level of annoying.

I’m so glad I got to go to Russia before the geopolitical landscape got all fakakta.

St Petersburg was truly incredible to behold in person.

Were these ‘mutual’ manipulations?

Possibly. In a back door alley, or from the comfort of your own home.

That's different. I'm pretty sure he's coming over next year. Saying goodbye doesn't change whether he's coming over now or next month (I guess actually 2 months).

He has a contract. No one cares about tears of new jersey devils fans from jersey or from leningradskaya oblast or from helsinki or from atlanta or from new orlean. And there is specific official way to terminate this contract. If Fitz really wants to make it happen - he can make a deal with Gritsyuk and Rotenberg. Until then its speculation and words games from fans who is trying to be excited or to belittling of meaning of this talent who costs 5th round pick for organisation.
Its on Gritsyuk and Fitzgerald side. What kind of relationships they have, what they are waiting from each other, what they want from this situation and how they see the near future.

 

[FooteBahl]

I’m guessing they’ll do the same for our boy

In the last few min:

Demidov is leaving SKA to join the Canadiens

Nikishin is signing with Carolina but SKA haven't released him from his contract.

SKA terminated Kuznetsov's contract.

Maybe we'll hear something soon... but Demidov being allowed to leave is a good sign for us.

What? It’s not a huge pain in the ass getting a player to leave Russia????
Whats the hell? I read something different on this forum.

Anyway. Like I said its on Fitz and Gritsyuk side only. Mostly on Fitz side ONLY. Because Arseniy said goodbye to St Petersburg by himself already.

It IS A pain in the ass.

Fitz might have to deliver a duffel bag of cash and hand guns to a guy named Oleg wearing an adidas tracksuit behind a VaVa (Russian Wawa) to get this done.

Black Volga. Please remember. And the guy name is Vladimir. We are all Vladimirs.

Okay maybe not good?

Tuboltseva is a source but questionable. She had beef with SKA.
And like I said - its a question between Fitz and Gritsyuk what their plans and relationships are.
I read some "sources" that Demidov will play one or two more years in SKA, I saw some sources that Gritsyuk will stay and never leave and sign with SKA(now - if we believe Tuboltseva or not - its between this year or next and we dont know why), that Nikishin will sign one more deal, and all of that was from "very good insiders". I dont like to trust this kind of sources because they dont know something about relationships between different sides and more importantly they dont know how plan can change.
