Grabovski, Capitals share mutual contract interest

UFA-to-be Mikhail Grabovski’s agent gave The Washington Post an update Wednesday on where things stand with contract negotiations.

“I believe [management has] interest in Grabo,” Gary Greenstin said. “We have interest to stay in Washington. We’ll see what’s happening.”

He’s not worried about a timetable at this point.

 “If we’ve done the deal [by July 1], great,” he said. “If not, not to worry. It has to be right, for Grabo’s camp, for the team. We’re not worried at all.

“We have short time, but we still have time.”

In terms of the possibility of Grabvoski and good friend Nikolai Kulemin of the Toronto Maple Leafs, who is also slated to become an unrestricted free agent, going to the same team, Greenstin offered this:

“Everything is possible, but we’re not talking about package deal,” Greenstin said. “Everything is possible. I cannot discuss, but right now who knows what’s happening on July 1. I’m positive both will be playing in NHL. They have absolute great chemistry together. But we’ll see what’s happening.”
