I'm pretty ambivalent. I was really high on Grachev after he tore up juniors, but there's no question that his development since has not gone as planned. I think it was a huge mistake by him leaving for the AHL as a 19 year old.

I would've probably guessed that his value was a 2nd rounder, but the return wasn't that far out of line with that.

I'm definitely more disappointed that Grachev hasn't developed better in the AHL than the fact that we traded him for the 72nd pick.
