I Want to Be Like Malk

Steve Zipay at Newsday says that Rangers third round pick Evgeny Grachev wants to be like the Penguins Evgeni Malkin...

"Drafted Saturday in the third round (No. 75 overall), Grachev, who played for Yaroslavl Lokomotiv-2, a Russian junior team, is physically similar to Malkin, perhaps slightly bigger at about 6-3 and 210 pounds, and has another advantage: He has no legal obligations to Russia."

...this kid's been getting a lot of press since he was drafted. Hopefully we got a steal in the third round.
