the only reason he would get a top line spot in any team is for 2 reasons.
1. they have no help.
2. he gets paired with someone who can drag him kicking and screaming, McDavid, Crosby etc.. level player.
So no my acgm don't agree with you.
I'm realistic about what you are getting here. 2 good years at the NCAA level doesn't equate to 1st line player.
I'm not knocking the player here, i'm just being honest about it. Being honest about what you are getting out of a guy stops people from building him up to get the eventual fall.
That way they can just be the player they are.
As much as I like Graf as a player, he's just not the player you want to make him out to be. He'll be a good role player though. Most likely a 3rd line guy. Maybe he gets onto a 2nd line that depends on the depth that SJS will have. But I assure you, SJS will have more talented players than Graf to pick up top line spots. Especially drafting as high as they are.
