For the 2010/11 season he returned to his homeland when he signed a contract with Severstal Tscherepowez from the Continental Hockey League .

In September 2011 he returned to the Binghamton Senators, who mostly used him in the ECHL with the Elmira Jackals . In January 2012 the Senators gave it to the Springfield Falcons , which in turn sent it to Chicago Express from the ECHL. Since he could not prevail in North America, Grachev returned to Russia in July and was signed by HK Sibir Novosibirsk . After 16 KHL games for Sibir, in which he did not score a scorer point, Grachev left the club in December 2012 and was signed by HK Lada Tolyatti from the second-rate Wysschaja Hockey League .
