Grudinin's forward stride has the proper mechanical makeup, but it's his four-way mobility and comfort on his edges that consistently stood out in our viewings. There's a skating move in his arsenal for every occasion, whether it's the cutback to circle back from pressure or the mohawk stride to get around it entirely. He's a proactive defender who shadows opposition forwards and stands up exceptionally well in puck battles. The CSKA Moskva product gets underneath opponents, cuts them off at the hands, and escapes with the puck with relative ease. -EliteProspects 2022 NHL Draft Guide
