Ryan Graves - the real deal?
Haven't seen any of his games this year......so, is he the real deal? In my league he is the 48th ranked player right now and is currently a free agent.
Is this mini breakout sustainable or more of a hot streak? His point totals are ok and his peripherials are well rounded.
Should I pick him up and who should I drop?

Re: Ryan Graves - the real deal?
Depends on how your farm system works.
Re: Ryan Graves - the real deal?
Ya, the +/- is why he's being over valued in your format. He's a serviceable D-man who logs a ton of PK time. There's no one on your roster I'd drop for him if that's what you're asking, unless you can fit him on your farm but his long term value won't increase much.Originally Posted by Canucks_fan18
Re: Ryan Graves - the real deal?
Unsustainable. Look at his PDO (108.4) and you'll realize that +/- is going to come own big time.
I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
Re: Ryan Graves - the real deal?
I wouldn't drop anyone on your roster for him but I watch a lot of the games and the kid is a good NHL D-man. He hits some and shoots some and has that great plus minus. Go look at the game log for the past 10-15 games. The team has been involved in some high scoring games and his plus is exceptional. The team is trusting him more and more. It really is a pleasure to watch him play. We carry 7 d-men in our 13 team league so I can roster him.
Re: Ryan Graves - the real deal?
Thanks so much for the breakdowns/advice on Graves. That's what makes these forums so very useful. Thanks a bunch.

Re: Ryan Graves - the real deal?
I think he's worth rostering on your farm, if that's possible. He may be worth rostering in general.
I'm in a deep multi cat dynasty with just G, A, Pts, SOG, PIM, (H+B) for skaters, and he's a top 25 defender. Assuming the scoring regresses, he should have value, I'm just not sure your team has an obvious drop.
