Nah Jonathan, I think we have started to sell Anisimov and Dubinsky short here.
I like Grigerenko and think he is the best case scenario going into this draft. But it's a weak draft and he is no sure thing. He could fall short to make it on talent alone, while he also could become a good top 2 line center (his skating IS holding him back for sure).
He is also a CSKA kid, and that org is new rich and will always be an option for him.
Remember that Anisimov was our 1st line center two years ago. He is a young big center who plays the game both ways. Since we are not able to open games up, nobody scores much for us. But Anisimov is a serviceable 2nd line center for many teams in this league (or many, at least 10+).
Giving a player like him away make little sense. I'd move expendable parts to get Grigs. But I definitely leave the core be.
