Craig Custance at The Sporting News lists his top 5 Traverse City Tournament prospects who are NHL ready including Evgeni Grachev..."Grachev, a 6-4 Russian, loves to score goals and has a knack for it. He scored 40 for OHL Brampton and provided the opposition with another player to worry about besides Cody Hodgson and Matt Duchene."
...from the reports coming out of the Traverse Tournament it does look like he might be ready. But not sure there's a spot for him right now. The best thing, in my opinion, would be to send him to Hartford to get his feet wet in the AHL. Then if an injury occurs or the team needs a spark during the season bring him up.
