I liked how comfortable he looked, Sharks coach David Quinn said Saturday of Graf's first practice. He didn't look overwhelmed by the situation. I thought he felt comfortable with the puck, I thought he was confident and acted like he belonged, which is a big piece of being a successful player in this league.
Just don't try to do too much, Quinn said. Don't think you have to impress anybody, just whatever the play calls for, do the right thing and let the game come to you. Don't force it.
Graf, 21, just finished his second season at Quinnipiac University and had 49 points in 34 games. He led the Bobcats to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I tournament before they lost to No. 1 seed Boston College in overtime last week.
