Val-d'Or won last night, forcing a Game Seven for the championship. Ryan Graves had a monster game: 1 goal, 2 assists, 4 shots, 6 PIM and +4. He was one of two players with three points and led the team with his +4. Graves now has 8 points in 23 playoff games this year, with 22 PIMs and a +13. He's having an awesome year. Game Seven is tomorrow night.

The trade to Val-d'or has been the best thing for his career. 6'4 225 Dman, gotta like this pick so far.

I don't know if it was said before, but Calle Andersson is expected to be offered a contract by the organization and will be coming to NA next year, however, Thomas Spelling won't be offered a contract. This was said in an HF article on NCAA/Euro prospects in NYR's system.

Really, really nice season for Graves.
He's big, he's tough, and he can skate. That he showed a willingness to join the play (and good judgment in the process) is also very encouraging. He looks like a really solid mid-round pick for us so far. Which is good, because with our dearth of picks recently, we need some of these guys picked in the hundreds to pan out.

My scout friend recently told me that Graves has taken a big leap forward this year. "Becoming a real good prospect"

Wait, I haven't been paying attention to Graves a lick, thinking that he was a fringe prospect. I don't pay attention to late round picks unless they're putting up points. What's his upside? Top 6 D-man? Maybe top 4?
BTW, I came up with a nickname for Skjei. How about Shady? His last name sounds like Shay and he plays D. I will see myself out...

I'm sure that some of you know this but Ryan Graves was selected by Prince Edward Island in the first round (ninth overall) of the 2011 QMJHL Entry Draft. A high draft pick in Gordie Clark's neighborhood. I'm sure that Gordie had been following Graves for some time before drafting him. So far, great pick.

I would say bottom 4 defensive defenseman, although I think he might add some offense to his game.

I watched a little of last night's game...Graves showed more mobility and puck-handling ability than what I was expecting.

So, in Graves, are we basically looking at another Noreau-type dman with a little better skating and a bit more offense?
