The New York Rangers have traded 2008 third round pick Evgeny Grachev to the St. Louis Blues for a third round pick (No. 72). With the pick the Rangers selected high schooler Steve Fogarty.
Updated Reaction: The initial reaction to move was one of disappointment for the Rangers having given up on the talented 21-year-old Grachev and only gotten a third round pick in return. After the draft completed Glen Sather informed the media that Grachev had requested a trade last year to get a fresh start and that after a year of shopping the young player, only the St. Louis Blues were interested in acquiring him.
