Prospect Info: #129 Arseny Gritsyuk RW

[Clam Jensen]

I would EXPLODE if he’s anything near Kaprizov

Same dude lol

 

[Jersey Fresh]

I posted in the team thread but the NHL just cut off communications with the KHL and appears to say you can’t sign players with existing KHL contracts nor talk with the KHL team about releasing the player early.



So earliest would be 23/24 under the rules just put in place, it appears.

Which is fine, he needs at least another year anyway and why mess with what's been a great development curve in the KHL. The question really becomes, if the climate doesn't improve, will he want to make the jump at all?

Probably for the best. At this point, you would hope that by the end of that contract, Devils would be successful enough that he would want to come to NJ.

Plus he should be close to a finished product so he could join the NHL team as another weapon offensively.

Another assist for him, Omsk won 2-0 and series 4-2.

Please come to American sweet baby Arseny

Philly has Gritty, but we have Gritsy and that's even better

Does the war and sanctions on Russia cause a problem for Gritsy to leave Russia and get a work visa in the US?

Really, really unsure

Fitz said he was glad Muk was signed otherwise they wouldn't even be able to talk to him or his agent. Unsure about Muk's visa situation.

So there could be a problem for Grits.

You’d think with all of the uncertainty in the Russian economy that more guys might want to come over to the nhl.

it's full on spinzone there, tons of pro-russian propaganda

Grits can’t come over since he’s under contract for next season still.

I guess, in a very unlikely scenario, his team could contact the Devils about releasing Grits to the Devils.

But we are better off with the assumption that Grits will be in the KHL next year, regardless of what his preference may be. Since Grits signed his contract I assume his preference is KHL next year anyway.

I am running with the idea that current events killed any chance of him ever coming over.

well if it helps, it's not USA vs Russia. it's literally everyone vs russia haha

 

[glenwo2]

I think it's for the best he has another year of the KHL.

So hopefully by the end of that year, things would've calmed down some where he'd be able to come over.

Money talks, and when prices have gone through the roof with a vastly depreciated ruble, it also screams

Yeah, but if you're being force fed the idea of a "Russophobic" USA, maybe it's not the paradise the money's worth. Of course, there are plenty of Russians still here and playing, so who knows.

 

[AfroThunder396]

The relationship between Putin and the KHL is pretty complicated. Many KHL owners are oligarchs currently being sanctioned by the US and Europe.

Jokerit and Riga already withdrew from the league this season, meaning four teams have left the KHL in the past five years. Many others are not doing well financially.

It's really, really difficult to know how that league is going to be functioning a year from now.
