As part of the 2015 NHL Entry Draft , Grigorenko along with Nikita Sadorow and JT Compher and the Sabers' second-round suffrage was given to the Colorado Avalanche . In return, Buffalo received Jamie McGinn and Ryan O'Reilly . After the 2016/17 season, Grigorenko did not get a new contract in Colorado, so he returned to HK CSKA Moscow and signed a new three-year contract there in July 2017. At CSKA, the attacker developed into one of the best players in the league over the course of three years and led his team to win the Gagarin Cup and the Russian championship in spring 2019 . After the contract expired, Grigorenko moved again to North America and the NHL in April 2020, where he signed a one-year contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets .
