F Nikita Grebyonkin (2022, 135th, TOR; traded to PHI)

[Namikaze Minato]

The trade deadline is long gone and Amur is in the last PO spot so any points they can get are crucial to them.

I see, the trade deadline meaning they cant recall their loans either? Fair enough!

Yeah, the rosters are locked, loan coming back is still a transfer.

Awesome, thanks for the info.

I like what I'm seeing from Dubakin on all these clips. Do you think he has NHL potential as a late bloomer?

I think we need quite a crystal ball to make predictions like that after just one breakout season.

So with Amur's season over and his contract to Metallurg having one more season on it, does he join them in their playoff push to be around the team, even though he cant play? Can he practice with the team?

Unlikely, not to mention there is no point. Amur could send him down to the VHL though. Btw, I keep reading about his contract for next season, is there an official source for that?

That's the only real mentioning i've seen of it, to be honest but its a better source than just me haha.

Another mention is on eliteprospects, but with all respect to them they can't be called as too reliable in terms of the KHL contracts. Webarchive shows that in July 2022 he was contracted until the end of 2022/23 and since then I failed to find any news about the extension.

Upd: I see Grebyonkin mentioned the extension in an interview though, so likely something was there.

Congrats to Grebyonkin. What were the considerations that left Michkov off the lists of nominees?

He played less than half the season worth of games..

 

[Kshahdoo]

2+3 in 3 games so far in the KHL preseason games.

 

[Sticktape]

Hoping he just tears it up this year.

I assume he continued to play well in pre-season games. Will he get power play and top 6 ice time in regular season games ? I think a lot of times on some teams in KHL, if Management knows a player is leaving after the season to NHL, he often does NOT receive prime ice time.

He plays for Lokomotiv, they usually are ok with kids leaving them for NA leagues.

So he’s not starting with Magnitogorsk, he’s been loaned out again?

Ah sorry, my bad. He plays for Magnitogorsk and they usually are ok with kids leaving them for NA leagues.

Grebyonkin’s teammate (Minnesota prospect) Yurov signed a 1-year extension partly because Magnitka’s new coach is known for trusting young players.

How are the two youngsters stacking up on the depth charts?
