THN Hot List Looks at Grachev

Ryan Kennedy at The Hockey News has a countdown of players he's looking forward to seeing in the NHL someday, including Rangers prospect Evgeny Grachev...

Kennedy says that Grachev started out slow in his first season in the OHL with the Brampton Battalion but now that he has found his game, he’s unstoppable. He has 33 points in 27 games.

Here is what Grachev said about making the adjustment...

“I’ve gotten used to the league,” Grachev said. “It’s more physical and more competitive every night.”

...i don't study our junior prospects very much, much this is definitely a kid to keep your eyes on.

I gotta say, I am pretty excited about him too. The only reason he dropped so far was because of the lack of transfer agreement with Russia. We got a HUGE steal.
