No. But he's clearly not recovering.

I most certainly wouldnt say that. He is playing pro hockey, which is quite something after almost biting it (which imo certainly says he is recovering), however whether he attains his earlier potential is highly suspect.

In that article that I posted, Jim Nill said they expect him to make a full physical recovery. His conditioning isn't quite up to par yet. They also said they didn't expect him to be playing again so soon. Whether he will be able to return to form or not remains to be seen. i think it'll take him at least another year or two.

Perhaps it's a bit ancillary, but while on the subject of Lada prospects, Lada tied Dynamo 1-1 today. Alexander Semin had another goal, giving him 7-5-12 numbers in 14 games played thus far. He's now leading his team in scoring.

EDIT: For under-reporting his totals.

Wings should have brought him over here to rehab. He'll never get any playing time with the big club due to the fact they have too many NHLers taking up roster spots currently.

Semin sounds like he's been doing well. I know they've got a few NHLers to go with him too.

Dan, I guess at least Grigorenko has his family in Togliatta. I hope they bring him over to N.A. after this season.

That's true. He'll need family and friends to help him through this rehab process. I guess it may benefit him being at home.

Because he wasn't producing, Grigorenko has been traded to Salavat Yulayev Ufa. This might turn out to be a blessing as he will certainly get more ice time to recover/develop.

I know Dan already posted this on the Wings board. Looks like Lada has decided not to send him to a lower league. Instead, they're loaning him to a lesser RSL team.
