Evgeny Grachev named OHL rookie of the year

Nineteen year old Grachev was named the OHL rookie of the year, scoring 40 goals and 40 assists. Some find it controversial that an overaged first year player can win the award of over a true first year, 16 year old, and have suggested they award a first year eligible and first year player each.

Congrats Grachev, NY is lucky to have you.

Another shocker.

Is it the Duchene/Hodgson effect? Or is this guy really that good?

He's really good. He's very fast, big, and very strong on the puck. He's one of the most dominant players on the team. While Cody and Matt or great, Grachy is just a beast.
