Whatever happened to Igor Grigorenko?

Question

A few years ago he was the Red Wings top prospect. I know he has been playing again in Russia after recovering from his car accident. Does anyone know if he is on his way?

Answer 1

He is still around, playing in Russia. The problem is that since his accident he simply has not developed like the Wings had hoped he would. Until he does, he'll be in Russia. They say he still could make the league in a year or two, but it does not look like he'll be a star or anything.

Answer 2

He's still in Russia. He's played in about 41 games for his team.
