He has fit in well and rather quickly to given the special youth earned scoring from a player drafted late in the draft. Gritsyuk is showing the Devils that they made no mistake in drafting him. While he is in his rookie season,he has shown the drive and determination of an NHL veteran. he has displayed highlight reel moves that experienced players do not make."

That alone should be eye-opening as the KHL is a well-rounded league with tons of talent. He has also shown that he can be productive in the clutch, scoring 14 goals and 11 assists for 25 points in 43 career playoff games."
