The kid just competes to win in all areas of the ice.

Grigorenko’s demeanor just bothers some scouts I think. Much like Joe Thornton, he makes it look easy when the points are racking it up and it looks like he isn’t trying when they aren’t going in. I think he’ll fit right in saucing it to elite NHL wingers.

Forget bolting to the KHL, that sounds like a much more familiar “Russian Factor,” like the one we’ve seen with Kovalev and Semin. But apparently only the blind, dumb, and deaf should care about that….
