Colin Graf’s arrival in San Jose signals a pivotal shift for the Sharks — a team trading pretender status for contender DNA. The highly sought-after college star isn’t just another scorer; he’s a proven two-way force who’s already earned coaching trust and carved out a vital role. While some question whether his contract was optimal given the team’s 3-4 year window to contend, it’s viewed as a smart, low-leverage bet that could pay off big if Graf continues his ascent. This move, along with others, underscores the Sharks’ commitment to building depth and versatility — not just stars — to compete at the highest level.
