Grushnikov is not worth a first round pick no matter how you try to spin it. He was a surprise pick in the second round the year he was drafted. He plays very similar minutes to Kuznetsov in the AHL and puts up very similar numbers. Despite what some dude says, the comparison is apt.

But you're basing your argument on some rando on The Athletic...? Not much different than looking at CP's prospect rankings from this summer where we collectively voted Pospisil our 21st best prospect and dismissing him entirely.
I'd rather trust that both Calgary and Dallas management valued Grushnikov.
