Graves could not function in Ruff's system. That is factually dishonest.
Eh, I think it's dishonest to say he couldn't. He definitely had his warts, but the guy knew how to use his size to break up plays defensively and transition the puck out of the zone. No doubt he made some bad plays, but on the whole, he was a good player for us.
Hopefully though with Graves it's more just that Luke and Nemec need time to season. I get why he had to go, but Smith and Miller are not close to being able to make up for Graves loss while Luke and Nemec figure things out.
