Shumi Babaev, agent to New Jersey Devils forward Arseni Gritsyuk, says his client faces two seasons that will decide the terms of his next contract.
Gritsyuk, 25, is about to start his second NHL season. His current deal, worth 3.25 million dollars a season against the cap, runs through 2028/29.
Babaev was also asked whether Gritsyuk risks a so-called "second-year slump", a dip that sometimes follows a strong rookie campaign.
