Age-wise, Grachev is a rookie in the AHL and he put up a respectable 38 points in 73 games. Since Jan 1st, he put up 31 points in 43 games. The people that actually watch him play every game have said that he's improved a lot.
Sauer was a 2nd round pick and didn't make the team until he was 23. MDZ was drafted in 2008, same as Grachev, and he's regressed to the point where we aren't even sure if he'll be on the team next year. Everyone loves Boyle and Prust, but neither one did anything of significance in the NHL until they were 26.
So why the hell are the expectations so high for Grachev? You act like he was a 1st overall pick or something.
