Is he coming over next season??

a guy with his shot could do damage if given a shot with Hughes. Sadly, same is true for Holtz and Ruff never giving him a chance to thrive there

He plays with a ton more pace than Holtz.

Interested to see him in the AHL next year. He's gonna need time to adapt to the North American style. KHL hasn't switched over to NHL sized rinks yet but I imagine when they do that it will be easier to scout players a bit.

Most KHL teams play on NHL size ice. I believe Omsk does as well.

Yes I know. I wasn't sure what year all of the teams were required to have changed to NHL ice dimensions.

Absolute most teams switched to smaller rinks two years ago, kids like Gritsyuk basically haven't played on a big rink in their entire pro career.

 

[Xirik]

depending on how far his KHL team goes there is a chance of him coming in during the AHL playoffs I think.
I believe the Comets and the Devils use the same strategies/playstyle so that might be a way for him to get used to how the Devils play.

Can’t wait for him to come over to the Devils.

Kid is a insane sniper

He's on fire, but what a nice play to set up him

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Talk about a "yawning cage".

Is this guy a legit top-six prospect in the NHL? Does he skate well?

He's above average in skating, I see him as a 2nd liner or a very good 3rd liner

thinking he'll become something like henrique or a better Sharangovich.

if he could be our Russian Bratt, that would be great!

[Baaaaaaaaaaaaah]

Is he North America bound or is there a chance he gets sucked into another two years in KHL?

Sounds like he is staying in the KHL next year for sure according to Devils' assistant GM.

Not sure after that.
