Kevin Hoffman / USA TODAY Sports
The Buffalo Sabres are waiting on Mikhail Grigorenko to make a decision on his playing future, reports TSN's Bob McKenzie.
The former 12th-overall selection and soon-to-be restricted free agent is said to be mulling a return to his native Russia, and signing a more lucrative contract in the KHL.
He skated in 68 games during his entry-level term, scoring a total of six goals and 14 points.
McKenzie notes that the Sabres are unwilling to offer Grigorenko a one-way contract.
