Note: Reports prior to Sept 2023 were originally graded out of ten, and also included additional categories that have been merged into the current categories.
This likely results in the overall ratings prior to 2023 being decreased in comparison to reports since Sept 2023.

For an `Apples to Apples` comparison between players, we recommend only comparing reports before, or after, Sept 2023.
Results will average out accordingly as more data is accumulated.

Graf was on the radar last year as the leading scorer at Quinnipiac. He's still only a junior, so time will tell what he plans to do at the end of the season.
Graf doesn't need a lot of time and space to create in the offensive zone. He reads how the play is developing and has knack for finding 'quiet ice'. He's also a threat off the rush. When he 'reloads' through the neutral zone he has a burst in his skating that creates separation and the ability to find open seams. Graf isn't a heavy lifter in the trenches but he has an active stick and the ability to strip opponents off the puck. His primary ice comes at ES and PP#1. He doesn't PK. It's impossible to teach puck touch and offensive zone creativity. Graf has both.

The leading scorer at Quinnipiac. Averages around (18:00) TOI. All of his ice time comes at even strength and PP#1.
Undersize, light, but very skilled. Excellent skater. Slippery. He can explode through small seams in open ice and tight quarters in the offensive zone. Above the play when his line doesn't have possession of the puck. Responsible in all three zones despite not being used on the PK. Very dangerous on the PP. Equal parts playmaker and shooter. Great stick. Finds pucks in the slot and around the net (tips and rebounds). Trending up. Could be NHL top 6
