I watched one single Wranglers game, so I have no idea whether Grushnikov took any steps last year. Progression with him was never going to be about more points, so does anyone who followed the Wranglers have insight into his game?
How's his decision-making under pressure? Does he have an effective first pass? Does he get in front of shots? Is he first over the boards for a PK?
The Flames targeted him in the Tanev deal (and Craig made it seem like Dallas didn't want to include him) - he wasn't a throw-in like Miromanov.
