Matvei Gridin's Player Profile

Jason Bukala - Sportsnet - June 11th: "Gridin is a calculating player in the offensive zone. He lurks, then pounces on pucks to direct high danger shots on goal. He leans shooter more than playmaker and plays at his own pace."

Chris Peters - Flo Hockey - June 3rd: "He’s a gifted scorer with an ability to get his shot off from anywhere. He’s a shot-pass threat with the ability to make the right reads and make the right plays often. Gridin has decent size, but can afford to get stronger."

Scott Wheeler - The Athletic - June 3: "He's got a desirable makeup as well, including a pro build, skill on the puck and a quick, NHL look to his release. He can play a north-south direct game and an east-west one with a little more poise."

Corey Pronman - The Athletic - May 28th: "He's a strong playmaker and finisher who can generate a lot of offense. His effort level is just OK and he can play on the perimeter too much. He did kill penalties at times in the USHL though and I think his compete and consistency are good enough to be a solid pro."

Steven Ellis - Daily Faceoff - May 28th: "His two-way game needs some work, but he’s been more engaged without the puck the past few viewings I’ve had compared to, say, the Fall Showcase. His offensive upside could allow him to go much earlier, though."

David Saad - Dobber Prospects - Apr. 20th: "Still the ever impressive playmaker, Gridin’s passing game is deep and complex, with a wide repertoire of playmaking tools to support for his strong sense of timing. He’s got the skill to make it look really pretty too. "
