According to Nick Costonika of NHL.com, Grabovski has arrived in Las Vegas for his physical and is hoping to play this season.
Grabovski has not played since sustaining a concussion in March, 2016. He spent all of last season on injured reserve. His agent, Gary Greenstin, told Costonika that Grabovski is "very positive."
The Golden Knights acquired the 33-year-old - and his $5 million cap hit - from the New York Islanders in June along with Jake Bischoff, a 2017 first-round pick and 2019 second-round pick in exchange for expansion draft considersations. The Golden Knights then selected goaltender Jean-Francois Berube in the expansion draft.
Grabovski has 296 points in 534 career games, spending time with the Montreal Canadiens, Toronto Maple Leafs, Washington Capitals and Islanders.
