As for the other player that reportedly signed a deal in the KHL, the big skilled center and former 1st round pick Mikhail Grigorenki is reportedly on his way out of the NHL.

Nikita Nesterov and Mikhail Grigorenko have signed a 3-year deals with CSKA of the KHL as reported by KHL insider Igor Eronko.

Grigorenkio, a 6’3, 209 lb center is just 23 years-old, so there’s still time for him to get his NHL career back on track if he wants to come back one day or another.
