It’s not always easy to find the third wheel.
Recall that it took a few years for the Canucks to find Alex Burrows to complement the Sedin twins, who wasn’t a highly-touted offensive player or even a right-hand shot.
With Macklin Celebrini and Will Smith forming a formidable duo in the Bay, the difficult job was finding the right player to form a proper trio. The Sharks had recycled through a few players, but none felt right.
But Collin Graf, an undrafted player out of Quinnpiac, seems to be ‘that guy.’
Graf made the team out of camp but was recently just promoted to the top line, and he’s responded with six points in six games.
Could he be a fantasy gem going forward, and have the Sharks found the solution, which was right under their nose?
