Hockey agent Shumi Babaev, representing the interests of the forward SKA Arseniy Gritsiouk spoke about interest in an overseas Russian.
In 2023, the hockey player left Avangard for SKA. Last season, 23-year-old Gritsyuk scored 38 (19+19) points in 50 KHL regular season games. In the playoffs, the 23-year-old forward scored 6 (4+2) points in 10 games.
— You recently reported in North American media that Arseniy Gritsyuk could join the NHL in a season…
— Gritsyuk is developing well now, he is on the rise. He has a perfect understanding with Roman Rotenberg. It is currently under development. Therefore, we will decide everything depending on the situation, as it develops and depending on its degree of preparation and form. Now all thoughts are related to SKA and how he will spend the upcoming season.
—Is there serious interest from New Jersey?
— There is interest, but we will start from the situation and look at the end of the season. Now I see that he is developing very well at SKA. I like his progress,” Babaev said, as quoted by RB Sport.
Gritsyuk was drafted by New Jersey in 2019 in the fifth round, 129th overall.
