Rice 42 Report post Posted May 1, 2007 Here's the link to the story. Good to hear. More teams will probably start drafting Russians again and it will be easier to get Grigorenko over here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kp-Wings 3 Report post Posted May 2, 2007 This was supposed to happen last summer. Considering how quickly that went up in flames, don't rule out yet another problem that prevents it from being signed. I would like something to get done though. These drama situations like Malkin could now be easily avoided if a transfer agreement is signed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is a free agent I believe so I believe he can do as he wishes... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He is still property of the Wings. He's not a UFA, so it's not his choice to go wherever he wants. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, I think the point was that Grigorenko will be a free agent in Russia after this season, his current contract being up. The transfer agreement applies to players who are still under contract to their Russian teams. As a free agent in Russia, there's nothing they can do to prevent him from leaving, agreement or no agreement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
