After just finishing another stellar NCAA season, the San Jose Sharks have swooped in and signed Quinnipac star Colin Graf.
In 34 games this past season, Colin Graf posted a career high 22 goals for Quinnipac University, adding 27 assists for 49 points following up a career high 59 a season ago. Now, the much touted 21-year old center has made the jump to the NHL, officially inking a deal with the San Jose Sharks.
✍️
The #SJSharks have signed forward Collin Graf to a standard, entry level contract. Unsurprisingly, Frank Seravalli has revealed that he will make the NHL jump immediately, and with eight games left in the season for the struggling Sharks, Graf will get some key experience before the end of the year.
#sjsharks announce they've signed Quinnipac undrafted free agent Collin Graf. His contract begins immediately and he's expected to step right into the #NHL.
This is a huge coup for the San Jose Sharks, with the temptation of an immediate spot in the NHL a massive reason for landing Graf as they look to build around a solid core that already includes the likes of another NCAA star in Will Smith.
