Julian Melchiori was a 2007 draft pick

Rangers Head Coach and General Manager Steve Spott announced this afternoon the team has completed a trade with the Oshawa Generals. In the deal the Rangers have acquired defenceman Julian Melchiori in exchange for a conditional 5th round pick in 2013.
Melchiori, a 6'3", 186-pound defenceman, was a 3rd round pick (87th overall) of the Atlanta Thrashers at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft. He spent last season with the Newmarket Hurricanes of the Central Canadian Hockey League where he recorded seven goals and 23 points in 39 regular season games.

is he any good?

As good as he may be, if he wants to play elsewhere, it's better for us to trade him.
