For what it's worth, here is The Hockey Writers' report on Grebyonkin:

One of the more underrated names in the Maple Leafs system before no longer has that label, as Nikita Grebyonkin has quickly garnered a lot of attention this past season. After being named KHL rookie of the year in 2022-23, Grebyonkin followed that up with 41 points in 67 games with Metallurg Magnitogorsk and added another six points in 22 playoff games, winning the Gagarin Cup.

His willingness to use his size, speed and hands to his advantage are strengths to his game. He’s constantly establishing himself with his power-forward game and possesses great hands in tight spaces to manipulate situations. He’s extremely skilled and very competitive, becoming a work horse and factor along the boards and in front of the net. He can outmuscle opponents easily and can make plays at a quick pace. As a result of last season, he has shed his label of being an underrated prospect in the system.
 
It is for basically a 4
For all the hype on a bidding war, we had to:

Get a pick TWO years away
Top 10 protected
Give up a 4th
Give up a 6th
Retain half the salary

Bad trade.
It is for basically a 4th line center. A very good one but still. And retention this year doesn’t matter. It’s 1.5 next year. Then all the retention is gone…Hayes, Laughton and Cam… About 7 million. Next year. I think.
