Blackhawks could probably get him a middle 6 slot this year if his season ends and next year.

Blues too, even if we sign Snuggerud. Graf can't be worse then Kapanen.

I’m holding out hope the Devils can offer him something similar, the chance to play with Hughes or Hischier, and a complete lack of RHS on the NHL roster outside of Mercer, Holtz, and Lazar.

May be the right time for him to sign in terms of finances but is eligible to return to school for a senior season.
Didn't really stand out playing in the NCAA tournament this weekend. Scoring numbers in the ECAC can be taken with a grain of salt.
Not sure how high his pro potential is at this point.

It would be extremely ill-advised to return to school. He has nothing left to prove at this level. Needs to maximize his earning potential and he only has so many years to make money as a pro

Pretty much what I said. Financially, this might be the time to maximize what he makes.
Hockey-wise, not sure he’s more than an AHL-ECHL tweener and not sure that he'll be much more in the future.
Returning and trying to play for a national championship with.the Bobcats could be more fulfilling than a season of riding buses.

Really? Given his production in university, you don't think he could at least be a solid AHLer?
You are basing his play off 2 bad games. He will definitely get a look in the NHL and will be at least an AHL player. Kid won’t even see the coast. Quinnipiac doesnt have the pieces to be a national contender so its pointless

There are a lot of ECAC alumni (including former Bobcats) that had similar numbers and their career track has been either AHL or Europe. If Graf proves to be the exception that would be great for him.
With the transfer portal and the success Rand Pecknold and his staff have had building teams through the years, counting them out next season seems premature.
If you are alluding to guys like Sam Anas the difference there is 4 inches and 40 lbs. Graf can insert anywhere up and down a lineup which makes him attractive.
Quinnipiac isn’t beating any blue bloods out for top end guys. Graf would be more likely to hit the portal if he was allowed to than return to Q

Quinnipiac doesnt win with top end guys. They just tend to find the right ones.
For all the top notch prospects in the BC lineup, it was 23-year-old transfer Jack Malone scoring the winning goal. The same could be said for Michigan's Marshall Warren.
Lol sure but the Jack Malones and Marshall Warrens aren't the reason BC and Michigan are in those games to begin with.
This seems like a pointless argument considering Quinnipiac won the title last year and was a bounce away from knocking off one of the more talented teams college hockey has ever seen yesterday. If Graf and Quillan returned they’d absolutely be national contenders again

Smart. Not enough college FAs choose destinations that maximize their opportunity. Most of them won't pan out regardless, but so many go to big market / good teams and then get buried.
