Prospect Info: #129 Arseny Gritsyuk RW

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Older posters will remember DevilsSwede on here but he just said on Twitter that Gritsyuk signed as well, I wonder if he has any sources still in the front office since the Lou days but the Gritsyuk IG post above my post from @Guadana probably validates the tweet as well.

I used to wait patiently during the offseason and TDL for him to spill the tea back in the day

Arseniy says "thank you, St Petersburg, and goodbye".

That plus the Devils Tweeting Patrick Star for no reason.

he is probably correct in this instance, but he hasnt had sources for years

I think that was just because we can clinch a playoff spot officially today with the Rangers having lost. I never read too much into what they post.

Now the mascot? He’s another story.

I know it's unlikely given how small the line would be (not that Gritsyuk is tiny) but from the footage I have watched I feel like Grits on a line with Hughes and Bratt next season could be incredibly productive.

You almost have to try this line out since the "Shrimp & Grits" is a great name, though not sure how much Jack and Bratt would appreciate it.

Probably not very much.

James Nichols is still saying he’s not deciding until June…

Looks like it's based on this...

I like Gritz but I'm not sure he would make a huge difference right now so I'm not too worried.

2025 playoff Grits dream dead

4/7/25 - 4/8/25

 

[HBK27]

Would rather have Gritsyuk here, but also not giving Carolina Nikishin and having Grits on his ELC next season isn't the worst thing.

Let's not be cringe like Carolina Hurricanes fans who don't give a crap that their players hate being called "Koochie" and now "Stanky".

Just gross.

yeah i think we win this trade off honestly

Nikishin looks to be the more talented player but it’s much harder to integrate new defenseman than it is new forwards; so even if they both came now there would be some hope the Devils benefit more in round 1.

 

[njdevil26]

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

they have the 22nd ranked power play so even if he does nothing else but helps them there that would have an outsized influence on the series

Sounds like he may want to but SKA could be playing hardball.

How does it work with players getting out of their contracts early - is it possible that SKA is just looking for a payout from the NHL clubs in order to release these players?

So with Russia I always assume there's a cash grab involved with some light extortion.

I think and correct me if I'm wrong... it's up to the players themselves to buy out their own contracts.

From what I could find on the Googles, Grits made $100,000-$160,000 USD this season. How much could it possibly cost for him to but out a month and a half?


Isn't SKA playing crazy hardball with Demidov too? I thought I saw they sent him to an affiliate to keep playing.

i bet he made more than $500 000 usd after the taxes were paid.

You think? I was trying to look it up and it said something about 60 million Rubles which is like 160k USD.

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

Looks like it's about $700k.
